Is there some change to background task execution coming on iOS 7 or something? FWIW background tasks are already available for LiveCode by deleting the exits on suspend key and using one of my cheap externals to start a background task ;-) Apple (at least until iOS 6 .. not sure what announcement prompted this question) only allow 10 minutes of background execution unless your app suits one of the UIBackgroundModes... like a music or accurate location tracking app... Given even with that the battery life is appalling I'd be surprised if they opened this up... -- M E R Goulding Software development services Bespoke application development for vertical markets mergExt - There's an external for that! _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
