ok, perhaps there's another way I can solve my problem. I have a little app called Trapster that uses something called "push technology"... I think what it means is that some server can send my app a signal and even though the app isn't running all the time, it gets woken up and responds to the message... can anyone point me to a howto? it will be a less than desirable solution but maybe it could work for me.


So, shorter version would just be no. You could only do this while the app is active; it is not possible to have a background daemon.

Not really a cocoa question anyhow for this list; checkout the iphone developer forums for more info

I actually looked for iPhone specific mailing lists ( but didn't find any and since it seemed to me that iPhone development is actually Cocoa development, I asked here... if you could point me to the location of the iPhone mailing lists I'd appreciate it. I looked here:


	http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo

but the only iPhone list I found had to do with some government thing.

I want to write a daemon for the iPhone. my goal is to record the orientation of the phone across time for later analysis. I am unsure how this could be done since it seems only one application gets to run at a time i.e. when the user takes a call my program quits.

can this be done?

thank you - e
