Does iOS 7 Background Fetch work on cellular 3G network?


I made a lovely app that fetches updates (using the recommended UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum interval).

Works fine on WiFi.

But now I'm testing it on 3G (same code without any modifications), and seemingly it has not yet been updated for half an hour now. Is iOS 7 Background Fetch working on 3G networks?


Solution

  • Yes.

    It has a longer duration, but after about 40 minutes it has updated.
