> Anyone else find where they are doing anything iOS specific to enable background uploads when you don't ever open the app?

Search for "SyncService.instance.sync" in the code, that's what gets triggered.

The trigger is us sending periodic silent pushes to wake up the app.

I know what you think, but that's really not the case :) Many our customers are on iOS, they're satisfied with it. There are areas to improve yes - the initial import is the major pain, esp because it is also the customer's first interaction with the app - but the background sync itself is works seamlessly in practice.

Ah of course, silent pushes. I thought those also end up getting ignored after some time. Interesting to know they don't. Thanks for the explanation.
