App killed and background
Veldriq Field
There is no periodic killed-app background synchronization.
Screen path: none — this is what happens when you swipe the app away. Reopen Today or Sync to resume. Native Field is not the Field PWA.
Preconditions
Section titled “Preconditions”Queued work already sits in Drift / private files. Killing the app does not finish a multipart photo or signature upload.
- Work on site. Status may show Pending sync.
- If you leave the app, operations stay on disk.
- Reopen the app (foreground) so the engine can run.
- Optional notifications may appear while killed; tapping them can restore the app and then sync. That is not a hidden always-on sync worker.
- Verify Sync is Up to date before relying on server receipt — especially after Closeout.
Synchronization runs while the application is in the foreground (and on resume). Queued operations remain local as designed. Reopening the app allows sync to continue.
