How to get Qfile/QuMagie/Qsync Pro installed in my iOS device to run in the background? I’ve enabled Background Uploading and Location services have been set to Always, why tasks are still not running when an APP is in the background?

This is an iOS limitation: iOS system decide the best time to launch an APP’s background tasks, and provides an APP up to 30 seconds of background runtime. To let iOS launch our APP, we have implement the background uploading function in our APPs, where our APPs will ask for permissions of location services. However, even with location services permission granted, the background tasks will only run when all criterias below are meet:

1. Background Uploading in our APP is enabled.

2. Allow location access is set to Always for our APPs (Settings in iOS > Privacy > Location Services > find and tap on Qfile/QuMagie/Qsync Pro > tap on “Always”).

3. There are position changes by a significant amount, such as 500 meters or more.
