I have verified this activity on ios 6 and ios 7 using Charles; once an NKAssetDownload is initiated from an app, deleting that app does not cancel the download. This seems crazy to me. Is there any way to address this?

Do you run application from xcode at moment when you deleting app? – Skie Sep 03 '13 at 17:15

They are dev builds, but they are being run independently, outside of xcode. The process is, open the app normally (not from xcode), start download, home-button close app, delete app via long press. I have little reason to believe this would behave different if run via xcode, though there is the possibility it could behave differently with release builds, I will check. – puzzl Sep 03 '13 at 20:42

I think there is nothing to do with it coz its part of Newsstand and Newsstand load data in background by default. Check this http://ipadinsight.com/ios/whats-the-point-of-newsstand-automatic-background-downloads/ . So data downloaded not by your application but by iOS directly. Seems that this is iOS bug. – Skie Sep 04 '13 at 10:38
