The "App Store Review Guidelines" state (2.16) that "Multitasking apps
may only use background services for their intended purposes: VoIP,
audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications, etc."
There is a background mode plist key (UIBackgroundModes="voip") for
apps that provide VOIP services, allowing the app to continue to
handle listening and data sockets while in the background. In the
discussion for UIBackgroundModes, the doc states that: "These keys
should be used sparingly and only by applications providing the
indicated services."
All this taken together suggests that I shouldn't use this key for
"voip" unless I am specifically a VOIP application, or else risk App
Store rejection.
Is anyone using this form of background mode in an non-VOIP app that's
in the app store?
Fwiw I would like to be able to run in the background enough to be
able to send and receive SSH-level keepalives so that I can keep an
SSH session open, given that it's costly to setup in the first place
(imho).
Thanks in advance...
Chris
