title: iOS cron jobs without server code
body: <p>Is it possible to set (Linux) cron like jobs in iOS apps (any version including iOS 8) that run at set times regardless of whether the app is open or in background mode?</p>
  
  <p>For example, I'd like to run a network GET operation from an iPhone at 11:00 and 23:00. If the job doesn't run because the phone is powered down, that's ok. </p>
