Good question. At present, on iOS, there's no way of persisting and restarting the upload or download if the app is backgrounded or killed. This feature exists on Android (since the Activity is reset on screen rotation, making this a far more common issue), and we're planning on making it available on iOS in the future.

Eventually, we want to simply make this a flag [FIRStorage enablePersistentUploads:YES] or similar, to automatically do this for you, so you don't have to think about it at all.
