How does background processing work on iOS and how do you schedule work reliably?

Answer

iOS limits background execution to protect battery. Use: - BackgroundTasks framework (BGAppRefreshTask/BGProcessingTask) - Background URLSession for uploads/downloads Design work to be resumable, idempotent, and respectful of constraints (network/power). Expect scheduling to be opportunistic, not guaranteed.
