I had a thought: how do alarms work? the application (the Clock) isn't running all the time, yet, 7am the alarm goes off... how did the Clock get itself started (without my permission)? and if you look at the alarms... there is no Clock window! it's just a message of some kind... so how does that work and can I do the same thing?

Because the alarm clock application -- an application written by Apple -- is implemented to work that way.


To summarize the answer given to you several times now:

Background applications are not possible in App Store compatible applications. You can use push notifications to push information to the user's iPhone. If you want it changed, file a bug.

This is not on topic for cocoa-dev and, thus, end of thread. iPhone specific development forums are available at http:// devforums.apple.com/ -- feel free to take up the discussion there, however the answers won't be any different.
