The single upload calls, i.e., the non-upload session methods such as uploadUrl, are not meant for use over long periods of time, as they operate using only a single HTTPS request. If you need to manage an upload over a long period of time like this, upload sessions would work better. You can store the upload session's sessionId (a String) and offset (an NSNumber) however you wish. An upload session is good for up to 48 hours.

 

I don't have a sample implementation of using upload sessions with the Objective-C SDK unfortunately. There are some other samples that can serve as a guide in this thread though.
