How To Update an RSS Feed in Background

I'm designing an app that needs to have access to an RSS feed at all times. I need to be able to access this feed in the background, while the app is not running. I already have all the code I need to access the feed and extract the info I need.

Thanks for your answer!

I don't have the exact implementation because I haven't tried it myself but Apple introduced background tasks with new SDK.

So basically you register for a background task like downloading content in your AppDelegate's

- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application

and when application becomes active you check to see if there was any new content. Again, this is a very raw explanation but hopefully should get you started.

**EDIT*** Check this out :

Although this does not talk about download content in the background
