Hi all,
My iPhone application continuously pings a back-end server to check for new
documents. If a new document is found an alert is triggered which consists
of a dialogue and sound alert. If the phone is locked then neither of these
events occur, which is undesirable. With a bit of googling I have discovered
you can disable the standby timer, which helps but doesn't cover the use
case when a user locks the phone manually.
Is there any way to allow the alerts to continue to fire even when the phone
is locked? Obviously Apple achieve this with calls/messages etc but perhaps
it is not possible with 3rd party applications?
I also have a query about using Apple's alert sounds. Firstly how would I
get hold of for example the top three Apple alert tones (i.e. Tri-tone,
Chime and Glass). Secondly, are these sounds copyrighted or are you able to
use them in a 3rd party app.
Many thanks in advance,
Dan
