Maximum concurrent tasks option doesn't work in iOS, when going offline download task doesn't fail

[bshankar-coder]

Maximum concurrent tasks option in iOS not working, flutter downloader downloads all items. When going offline mode downloading tasks not failing in iOS.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Used the example given by flutter_downloder plugin, did the configuration mentioned in flutter_downloader plugin iOS integration section from https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_downloader.

1. Added example.
2. Setup iOS config - Enable background mode, Added sqlite library, configured App Delegate, Disabled ATS completely, Configured maximum number of concurrent tasks to be 2.
3. Clicked on multiple items to download.
4. More than 2 items downloading at a time. (All of them)
5. Switched off internet.
6. Running downloads halted.
7. Came back online downloads starts running again.

Expected behavior

Maximum concurrent tasks should work as it works for Android. In this case only 2 items must download others must remain in queue.
Like Android when going offline downloads must fail.

quite critical for my case since it is causing ext services to go 403

Hi, thanks for the report. I confirm I can reproduce this problem. I hope to find some time to work on the fix, but no promises, unfortunately :)

Maximum concurrent tasks option in iOS not working, flutter downloader downloads all items. When going offline mode downloading tasks not failing in iOS.

Are these 2 independent issues?

Yes there are two issues, one being about concurrency and other is when we go offline in Android downloads fail but in iOS this it doesn't.
