Hi all,
I'm working on a watchOS 4 application where I'd like to start a download task from a button that the user clicks. This may take a little while so we are using a background session in case the user lowers their wrist. This all works great if the app is Frontmost and the watch is connected to the phone. However, if the watch is standalone, the download task will never start even if the app is in the foreground.
Is this the expected behavior? Looking at the example in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/216/, they make it sound like the download should always immediately start if the app is Frontmost and in the foreground.
