on deeper research i found this:
There's a Technical Note on this:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2277/_index.html
In my app, in the App Delegate:
on applicationDidEnterBackground: I stop the HTTP serveron
applicationWillEnterForeground: I start the HTTP serverThis makes the server
usable after someone hits the lock screen.
see if you have these events exposed in the AIR framework. I bet you can work
around this issue if they are.
