Minimized iPhone Applications - Respond to Network/Bluetooth/GPS?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4103079

Question

Just wondering, when an app on the iPhone 3GS/4 is minimized, is it possible for it to maintain a network (3G/Wifi), GPS or Bluetooth connection?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Through the standard "Fast Application Switching" mechanism where the application is suspended in the background, no.

It can be done by the "VoIP" type background API can listen to network events while in the background.
