The bug

Background upload is not working for me on IOS 16.5.

Mobile App is giving no logs about it and immich server log says "Websocket Disconnected" every time I put the mobile app in the background (I assume this could be the issue). Background app refresh is activated. Also the mobile app says background backup is running, but when I leave the app letting it run, photos/videos won't upload, progress resets back to 0% when I open the app again.

Reproduction steps

1. Enable backups and background backups in mobile app
2. Leave the app running in the background
3. Give it some time and check if photos or videos are being uploaded (they're not for me)

Additional information

I would assume this is an IOS problem, but I wanted to confirm if this could be somehow solved by you. Thank you for your time and your great work.

Oh and one last thing, I am exposing the immich server through a reverse proxy with a self-signed let's encrypt certificate.

I have just tested directly through http and it still does the same thing :(

foreground and background tasks are two different mechanisms. Switching the app from the foreground will disconnect from the WebSocket, as you observe. Background task will pick up eventually based on your usage behavior and how many other apps you have Background App Refresh enabled
