Many developers think Background App Refresh is unreliable.
In reality, it’s deterministic in one important way: iOS—not your app—decides when background work runs.
Understanding that single principle changes how you design background tasks.

The key principle is that iOS — not the app — controls when background tasks run, making the system deterministic in that specific sense. Part 1 of this series debunks common myths and explains the scheduling model that governs how and when background work is executed, which has direct implications for how developers should design their background task logic.
