Thanks! Right of the bat, I think we are okay since Orbot uses a Foreground Service (see below). I also think the more we focus on supporting the VPN more features, the better, since that type of application would obviously be allowed to work in the background. "The system distinguishes between foreground and background apps. (The definition of background for purposes of service limitations is distinct from the definition used by memory management; an app might be in the background as pertains to memory management, but in the foreground as pertains to its ability to launch services.) An app is considered to be in the foreground if any of the following is true: It has a visible activity, whether the activity is started or paused. It has a foreground service. Another foreground app is connected to the app, either by binding to one of its services or by making use of one of its content providers." -- Nathan of Guardian [email protected] _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
