What¹s the best way to handle the situation when a user exits an iOS app by
clicking the home button and what messages are sent? Our app has a data
entry component and typically we¹d ask the user if they wanted to save their
stuff before they exited but clicking the home button just exits
I just save all the stuff I need to to .txt files every time the app quits, and
reload it on startup. For my situation that provides the neatest way to
implement the suspension and resumption of an app. In your case perhaps you
can save the data then ask if they want it restored when they open
Thanks Gerry - seems like getting my app to 'suspend' was a one-off glitch
that I can't repeat - like you say, it always quits now. So, it seems that
the shutdown message is the only one that gets sent - for the moment I think
we'll just implement an automated save and tell our students that's
