VOIP and background functionality

Question

I need to run my app continuously in background (not periodically), while supporting iOS 6.

I ran http://www.raywenderlich.com/29948/backgrounding-for-ios example, which runs well for a while, but after some time (i guess 10 minutes limit or 100+ pings) it crashes.

Following is the crash log

Application Specific Information:
BKUnsuspendLimit TheBackgrounder[5183] exceeded 15 wakes in 300 sec

How can I avoid this crash?

Answer 1

There is one possible 'hack' which would allow your app to run indefinitely in background. But beware, Apple will reject your app instantly.

Pastebot looped a silent MP3 in the background to keep itself continuously active. You can read more about that process and Apple's rejection of it here.
