App performs task in background (after receiving a remote notification), but finishes not completely

Question

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler

It is being called with content-available = 1. A download task starts (shows the NSLogs), but it does not complete the called task. Only when switching the app back to Foreground it finishes the previous called task.

Any idea... how this can happen?

When the app is in the background and a remote push notification comes in, a Parse "getObjectsInBackGround" task is called. This task doesn't finish while the app is in background, but it continues after transition to foreground. — JeeGee, Oct 01 '16 at 13:22

you have to use UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier.to perform api call in back ground.

       - (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {




        isnotificationScreenopen = NO;
        UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier bgTaskId =[[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:^{
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] endBackgroundTask:bgTaskId];
            NSLog(@"%f",[UIApplication sharedApplication].backgroundTimeRemaining);
        }];
        NSLog(@"%f",[UIApplication sharedApplication].backgroundTimeRemaining);



}
