Is it possible to download files via WebClient API while the app is in background on mobile platforms?
Target Platforms: iOS + Android
Goal : Download files while app is in background
I need to use WebClient for I could not figure out how to do HTTPS downloads including certificate verification with the WWW API.
Without any further ado, the app may be in the middle of interpreting a stream when the app pauses.

On Windows Phone definitely needs a permission and on iOS I guess too. On Android nearly everything allowed.
