How often does the SDK sync data?

The SDK syncs data in two main ways:

• Hourly in the background - automatic syncing occurs approximately every hour

• Every time the app is in the foreground - data syncs whenever users open your app

Sequential vs Parallel Syncing

The syncing behavior depends on the type of data pull:

• Historical pulls: Data syncs sequentially based on resource priority

• Regular syncing: Data syncs in parallel

iOS Background Delivery

On iOS devices, background data delivery is controlled by Apple's system and varies based on several factors:

• Battery level

• Network connectivity

• How frequently the phone is unlocked

• Apple's throttling rules for different data types

Because of these variables, there isn't a single fixed frequency for background syncing. However, in practice, you can expect to see at least one sync per day.

Special Data Types

Certain data types receive priority treatment:

• Workouts - typically sync within minutes of completion

• Sleep data - typically sync within minutes of completion

These special resources may appear before other data types due to their priority status in the syncing process.
