I recently looked at the NSTimer documentation where a note came up
stating that it is obsolete and should not be used for new
development. Unfortunately there is no mention of alternatives.
I have a WO app running that should execute a function at certain
dates automagically ;) More precisely: people can register for an
event and put in different information. At a certain date (to make
sense a couple of days ahead of the event) the app should check if
all mandatory information has been entered and sends a reminder email
to that person if not.
By searching the web the only way if found to implement such
behaviour is using a cronjob with wget and a direct action. But by
this the app loses control of when the action gets called as it is
hardcoded. Additionally I would have to add this call manually in a
system config file. I think that's no good as it is not directly
related to the app and therefore adds to the install/maintenance
complexitiy.
What is the common practice to implement such timing needs?
