Description

Since the app can't upload in the background, it should at least keep the display of the iPhone on while it's actively uploading/downloading something to avoid the phone going to sleep. This should be pretty simple to implement.

Research direction

Start by locating the iOS upload and download lifecycle and the existing screen-awake handling. The change is complete when the display stays awake only during an active upload or download and returns to normal behavior afterward; verify both transfer directions.
