Need a way to keep the screen awake in Bubble Native

Hi everyone,

I’m porting our web-based meditation timer to Bubble’s new Native builder and have run into a blocker: I can’t find any method—workflow, first-party action, or plugin—that will keep the screen from dimming and sleeping (and then let it sleep again when the session ends).

For a meditation app this is critical: once the device auto-locks, the JavaScript chronometer and the bell sound are both suspended, so the session stops counting and users never hear the closing gong.

Has anyone already solved this, or confirmed that wake-lock simply isn’t available in the current beta? Any work-arounds, native-audio tricks, or pointers to upcoming features would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
