Apple Newsstand Download Full Notification

Question

I have a newsstand application that provides downloads through NKNewsstandKit.

My problem is that when I start downloading an asset and terminating the application, it loads fine in the background. It also calls the application in the background. But I did not receive the connectionDidFinishDownloading event:

Does anyone have an idea how I can get an event and process my assets.

Answer 1

If you start downloading while the application is running and then stop the application, you will not receive any methods for delegating resource loading (there is an option to start UIApplicationLaunchOptionsNewsstandDownloadsKey , which I expected in this case, but I never saw this happen). The best solution is when the user launches the application, resumes loading each of the assets in [[NKLibrary sharedLibrary] downloadingAssets] , and you should get connectionDidFinishDownloading for everyone that is already loaded. Be sure to do this in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method in the main thread or the assets will be deleted.
