On iOS, does it keep syncing if you "swipe away" the app and never open it for e.g. a couple months?

I really would like something like this.

As far as I understand iOS’s behaviour, there’s no way to do what you’re asking unless you’re Apple Inc.

The Nextcloud app kind of does it, it seems. The fact that it stops working seems unrelated: starting the app doesn't make it recover, so it just seems buggy.

Nextcloud uses the location permission for some reason, presumably to wake up the app in the background once in a while? At least it can be closed (and "swiped away") for 2 months and keep syncing. Until it breaks and stops working entirely.

That’s surprising to hear! I’d love to know how they managed it. (I’m not willing to familiarise myself with the codebase, of course.)
