Hello,

I'm trying to test a simple background download (using NSURLSession with backgroundSessionConfiguration).

There is a sample call SimpleBackgroundTransfer which is usefull but I would like to test this specific api:

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession:(NSString *)identifier completionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler

This method is called after iOS automatically relaunches the app, when the app is no longer running.

In the simulator, I can force quit my app but in my comprehension all the background downloads are then stopped, as the app has been quit by an user action. To test application:(UIApplication *)application handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession:, I need to put my app in suspended state but I don't see an obvious way to do this, either in the Simulator or on a device.

Thanks for the help / any advices,

Jc

You should read Testing Background Session Code, one of the feature posts over in Core OS > Networking.
