AGSGenerateOfflineMapJob while app is suspended?

WorthSparks

If I want to download a song, podcast, or similar content, I would use a URLSession, which allows a download to continue to completion, even if the app has been suspended or terminated. Once started, does AGSGenerateOfflineMapJob (or AGSExportTileCacheJob or AGSExportVectorTilesJob) continue running in the background, even if the app has been suspended or terminated?

Yes. The job is really independent of the Runtime and will run on the server regardless of the client app state. Runtime connects to the job when it can and updates itself on the job's status, downloading the result of the job if appropriate.

Check out the JobManager class provided in the iOS Runtime SDK's Toolkit which helps manage jobs when your app is backgrounded and foregrounded. You register a job with the job manager, and then call this method when your app is returned to the foreground to reconnect to any jobs.
