PerformFetchWithCompletionHandler called twice when simulating with Xcode

by

I got around this issue by declaring a static boolean in the App Delegate, and then using the boolean to get the background fetch to perform once

if (!runOnce)
{
    [submission startSubmissionProcessWithCompletetionHandler:^(UIBackgroundFetchResult result){
        NSDate *fetchStart = [NSDate date];

        completionHandler(result);

        NSDate *fetchEnd = [NSDate date];
        NSTimeInterval timeElapsed = [fetchEnd timeIntervalSinceDate:fetchStart];
        NSLog(@"Background Fetch Duration: %f seconds", timeElapsed);
    }];
    runOnce = YES;
}
else
{
    completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNoData);
    runOnce = NO;
}
