iOS: no background refresh for FreshRSS #4236

Closed drew6017 closed 5 months ago

I don't think iOS's background refresh frequency is the problem. Gave it more than a day and haven't received a single notification. Feeds all update instantly when I open the app.

Steps

install latest app version
enable notifications / background-refresh in iOS-settings
disable On My Phone
add FreshRSS feed
no change if [Hold]->Get Info->Notify About New Articles is on for the respective feed

Specs

iOS 14.7.1
iPhone Xs (A12)

I suspect it takes a lot more than a day before the system decides to start giving NetNewsWire background refresh time, unfortunately.

Maybe. I haven't noticed it take this long for any other app though. Hence the issue. Anyone else have this?

NetNewsWire background refresh code seems straight out of Apples reference impl., ended up using the tweak Bakgrunnur (jailbroken) to force refreshes as months of regular use and iOS still wouldn't do it. I suspect it's because this is an old device, prioritizing battery over all else. Either way, no apparent issue on your part, closing.
