How to upload images in background in iOS?

Is it possible to have an iOS app upload files in the background?

  • Suppose there are many large files that need to be uploaded, but it would not be feasible to request a user to keep an iOS app http://open.Is it possible to have the app upload in the background? When I say background, I mean the user has quit the app and is now working with some other app. Note that these uploads are likely going to take a few minutes to complete.

  • Answer:

    iOS permits apps to declare a long-running task (such as uploading), but iOS will limit the task to 10 minutes or so. After that, be sure you can quit in a good state, otherwise, iOS is likely to terminate the app.
