Details

The iOS equivalent of Android's SyncAdapter is a UIApplication level performFetchWithCompletionHandler:, see [1] and [2].

We should register for such a fetch and maintain the Firefox Account state -- exchanging tokens, etc -- a few times a day.

After discussion with rnewman, tecgirl, and darrin, we are unlikely to support this for v1.
