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.

In iOS 7, an app can use the new background transfer API's and/or NSURLSession to upload files in the background.
