How to resume NSURLSession download process after app force-quit and app relaunch?

Question

I have implemented NSURLSession for downloading fairly large files from our servers. Now as long as I\'m working in foreground or background and go back to the app

Answer 1

I think that after your application did force-quit you should start all over again (.

If the user terminates your app, the system cancels any pending tasks.

and

When all of the tasks associated with a background session are complete, the system relaunches a terminated app (assuming that the sessionSendsLaunchEvents property was set to YES and that the user did not force quit the app)

Answer 2

After a force-quit the:

 NSURLSessionTaskDelegate - (void)URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session task:(NSURLSessionTask *)task didCompleteWithError:(NSError *)error

delegate method will be called when the app is restarted. If the download task can be resumed the error object will contain the resume data:

[error.userInfo objectForKey:NSURLSessionDownloadTaskResumeData].

Using this data you can resume the download process by creating a NSURLSessionDownloadTask with:

(NSURLSessionDownloadTask *)downloadTaskWithResumeData:(NSData*)resumeData.

More info about that can be found in Life Cycle of a URL Session with Custom Delegates, step 13.
