Hi,
I am also looking for IOS background upload support, here is my code
RNFetchBlob.config({ IOSBackgroundTask: true, }) .fetch('POST', videoPath, { 'ClientToken': access_token, 'Content-Type' : 'application/octet-stream', }, RNFetchBlob.wrap(fileUrl)) .then((res) => { console.log('res',res.text()) }) .catch((err) => { console.log('err',err) })

while uploading data to server, if application is moved to background and again brining back to foreground RNFetchBlob callbacks are not getting called and showing loading continuously.

can anyone help me to fix this issue

Thanks

Hi,
after adding the following code in AppDelegate, i am able to upload file in background

//AppDelegate.h
@property (nonatomic, assign) UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier taskIdentifier;

// AppDelegate.m
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application {
    if (self.taskIdentifier != UIBackgroundTaskInvalid) {
        [application endBackgroundTask:self.taskIdentifier];
        self.taskIdentifier = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
    }

    __weak typeof(self) weakSelf = self;
    self.taskIdentifier = [application beginBackgroundTaskWithName:nil expirationHandler:^{
        [application endBackgroundTask:weakSelf.taskIdentifier];
        weakSelf.taskIdentifier = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;
    }];
}

here is my RNFetchBlob code
RNFetchBlob.config({ IOSBackgroundTask: true, }) .fetch('POST', videoPath, { 'ClientToken': access_token, 'Content-Type' : 'application/octet-stream', }, RNFetchBlob.wrap(fileUrl)) .then((res) => { console.log('res',res.text()) }) .catch((err) => { console.log('err',err) })
