I have an answer. This is not what we hoped for.
Technical definition of uploading from http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html :
The unload event occurs when the DOM implementation removes a document from a window or frame. This event is valid for BODY and FRAMESET elements.
I also received a response from some of the well-known at Apple: “Unfortunately, I could not find an event that fires when you click the Home button! I think that the most suitable event for this could be a page. This event really fires in Safari on iOS when you switch to the tab view to open a new page, but not when you click on the home screen icon :-( "
