iOS7 Background Fetch

Question

I am trying to implement the new iOS7 app refresh. I don't think it's working properly.

I add into the info.plist

Required background modes - App downloads content from the network

In my main view controller,

1. UIApplicationDelegate is set as delegate

2. In Viewdidload I put in [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval:1.0];

3. I add the following method

   - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application 
       performFetchWithCompletionHandler: 
       (void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult result))completionHandler {
           NSLog(@"Refresh from Background");
   }
   

I plug in my iPhone and launch the app and then I got to Debug -> Simulate Background Fetch

The NSLog does not print. (If my app is in the foreground, it will put it in the background)

Thanks!
