I'm currently getting a weird situation. Here's how I get into it. Note that I do NOT get this problem when the first 2 steps are skipped.
- I make a background NSURLSession in a Share Extension.
- I start a download task.
- I call exit(0).
The code looks like this:
NSString *address = @"https://googledrive.com/host/0B5zObXR9UzgmbFpob2J5eXpjNXc/file3m";
self.mySession = [self configureMySession];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:address];
NSURLSessionTask *myTask = [self.mySession downloadTaskWithURL:url];
[myTask resume];
exit(0);
With this code the following happens. The extension continually respawns, hangs on launch, respawns, hangs on launch, ad infinitum. Here are some of the log messages.

Anyone know what might be causing this behavior?
For the curious, I am doing this so that the application:handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession:completionHandler: method of my containing app's UIApplicationDelegate class gets called. I realize that it is a little shady, but... there aren't many ways to communicate between a share extension and its containing app, so it's what I got.
EDIT: I'm now using this workaround https://stackoverflow.com/a/24614589/3923882 (UIWebView) so this question isn't really that pressing. Still interested if anyone has an answer though.
