NSURLSession background upload using the chunk transfer

Question

I am using the NSURLSession to perform the upload of a file using the chunk transfer.

self.dataTask = [self uploadTaskWithRequest:urlRequest fromData:urlRequest.HTTPBody progress:nil completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, id responseObject, NSError *error) {
                if (error) {
                    //Error response
                } else {
                    //Success response
                }
            }];

            [self.dataTask resume];

The issue is that when the app goes to the background it will not perform the continuous upload, the ongoing upload will suspend and resumes when app goes to foreground.

I want to achieve the background transfer continuously for the chunk upload.

Any suggestion to achieve this?

Update:

Implemented the backgroundSessionConfiguration and getting the below error.

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Upload tasks from NSData are not supported in background sessions.
