Long taxon sync times #3

Open gpopac opened 1 year ago

gpopac commented 1 year ago

Two users reported terribly slow taxon synchronisation on the first run. While the download parameters are similar to those in Android application, something iOS specific causes slow download/saving of data. Any ideas how to solve this issue? An option could be to make taxonomic tree in ZIP file and download this file on the first run?

It seems that the app pauses/stops downloading as soon as the user leave the window, dims the screen or send the app into the background. The downloads should go into the background as separate service. On Android this is possible by creating notification that runs a foreground service that is permanently active.

Yea, for now, we don't have an option for downloading data in the background
