I've recently been integrating Background Transfer Service into an application so that the user is able to download files in the background.
Everything works as expected. But my delegate methods stops getting called after sending the application into the background and then re-opening the application.
File is actually being downloaded in the background but I am not receiving any call to my delegate methods. So cant show any progress to the users. So it feels like download is got stuck.
I had to remove our app from the app store as it is hurting our app. I need to resubmit the app as soon as possible. But with this problem, it's not possible.
My download manager code:
import Foundation

let completionHandler = appDelegate.backgroundCompletionHandler {

}
And in app delegate:
var backgroundCompletionHandler: (() -> Void)?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession identifier: String, completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) {
backgroundCompletionHandler = completionHandler
}
Finally found a workaround for the issue. Once the application did return from background mode, make sure to call resume on all running tasks. This seems to reactivate callbacks to the delegate.
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
DownloadManager.shared.session.getAllTasks(completionHandler: { tasks in
for task in tasks {
task.resume()
}
})
}
