iOS 7 added a new background mode "fetch" - reading the docs, the OS should periodically wake up the app and invoke a precise method to allow it downloading small chunck of data from remote servers.
Any plans about supporting this feature? AIR SDK and runtime may support this by implementing the required methods and redispatching them to the app using an NativeApplication event (similar to the Event.SUSPEND strategy).
A really nice addition to have would also be Flex polling channel integration, meaning that the remoting could adapt the polling channels could "poll" for new messages in this fetch window. This would allow for seamless integration between the iOS fetch strategy and the Flash/Flex remoting polling (probably this must be managed in Apache Flex channel set classes, if the runtime will provide the base integration with the iOS 7 fetch API).
