[iOS] Background Sync not consistent

[plittlefield]

Platform
iOS 26.5.2

SyncUp version
1.1.15

Describe the bug
The sync does not work when the app is not in focus or has been opened very recently.

To prove this, I created a system where I can record a voice note on the iPhone, which is then synced to my laptop via Tailscale, then transcribed by AI, and finally sends a Pushover notification to the same iPhone.

I have just recorded a voice note, but have not opened the SyncUp app for an hour ... alas the Pushover notification has not arrived.

If I now open the SyncUp app on my iPhone or bring it back to focus (it was already "running" in the one of my apps that I can scroll through that's been opened) then I wait about a minute and I can see the folder sync and then a few seconds later the Pushover arrives.

That's it - great app ... when you have it open :-)

Thanks.

Regards,

Paully

I understand this problem, there is a way to fix this but its hacky and the app might consume more battery, I will continue to experiment with builds from #67
This feature will be gated behind a settings toggle so that its not enabled by default and users are made aware that "continuous sync" will be more battery hungry.

Thanks for reporting your experience and using SyncUp @plittlefield
