I am working on an app that keeps people updated with news around a certain event. That means that I don't want to run background fetches all the time. And one more thing, what I understood from Apple's background execution documentation is that it is not guarantee to have those fetch operations scheduled as the minimum fetch interval set.

So is there any way to schedule those fetches guaranteeing those fetch intervals? I know of silent push notifications but I don't want to have a server side solution.

  • Maybe someone else can help you, but as far as I know the only way to trigger a content update for your app, while closed, is using silent notifications. You might be able to get away with local notifications, but i'm 90% sure they will not fire if your app is terminated. – Jacob Boyd Dec 14 '17 at 15:27

    Local notifications AFAIK can't be treated silently and you need the user to interact with them so you get the handler in the app delegate. :/ – Ashraf Tawfeeq Dec 14 '17 at 15:33
