In our app, We have to download 5000 assets in the Install/Periodic event. Obviously, we can't download them all in parallel. If we return all 5000 entries in the extension downloads function, will the system take care of queueing and downloading some 20 assets parallelly and take care of downloading all of 5000 assets? Or Should we return only 20 urls and after if got finished, from the finished call back we can repeatedly schedule the next 20 every time and can download all of 5000 assets? If we can't reduce the number of assets(like in our case 5000 entries), What is the recommended way of downloading it?

My Background Assets extension arranges to download image resources, as follows: NSURL *assetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://***.png”]; NSUInteger assetSize = 6849; switch (contentRequest) { case BAContentRequestInstall: case BAContentRequestUpdate: { BAURLDownload *essentialDownload = [[BAURLDownload alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"YYBADAsset" request:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:assetURL] essential:true fileSize:assetSize applicationGroupIdentifier:appGroupIdentifier priority:BADownloaderPriorityDefault]; [downloadsToSchedule addObject:essentialDownload]; break; } } At the same time, the finishedWithFileURL method is implemented as follows: - (void)backgroundDownload:(BADownload *)download finishedWithFileURL:(NSURL *)fileURL { NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithFileURL:%@ forDownlad:%@",fileURL,download.identifier); NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithManifestURLExist:%@",@([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:fileURL.absoluteString])); } And then use tools to trigger events, xcrun backgroundassets-debug --app-bundle-id com.luph.mytest --device-id 00008020-000A04xxF0002E --simulate --app-install The following log is observed through the console: BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithFileURL:file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/1D051E06-E597-4670-969A-38ECA52C4F7A/Library/C aches/com.apple.BackgroundAssets/BAFile-5152AFB2.tmp forDownlad:YYBADAsset BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithManifestURLExist:0 What's the problem? Did I set the size of BAURLDownload to be different from the actual download size? Or the wrong way to determine the existence of the file?

Hi, I used Background assets to download files during install/update events. The debug build works fine when I trigger the install event through terminal. The same code base (with different bundle ID ) is used in Test Flight build. But the file is not downloaded when I install the TestFlight build. I'm getting following error in Console while installing the TestFlight build. sometimes, i'm getting Failed to notify extension about finished download: BAURLDownload (0x61a80ab98): guard let url = URL(string:"https://devstreaming-cdn.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2021/10220/6/3866585A-3920-44B4-AB3F-03A446FCDE3A/downloads/wwdc2021-10220_hd.mp4") else{ return Set() } switch (request) { case .install, .update: let essentialDownload = BAURLDownload( identifier: "avtar345", request: URLRequest(url: url), essential: true, fileSize: 155384552, applicationGroupIdentifier: appGroupIdentifier, priority: .default) downloadsToSchedule.insert(essentialDownload) break; case .periodic: break; }
