My app has different behavior when becoming active from the lockscreen (locked while active), or becoming active from anything else. On iOS 6 and lower I could detect this UIApplicationState state = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState]; if (UIApplicationStateInactive == state) // Coming from locked screen (iOS 6) else // Coming from Springboard, another app, etc... But on iOS 7, the state value is UIApplicationStateBackground in both scenarios. Is this the intended behavior? How can I properly detect whether the app is launching from the lockscreen now? Registered devs, I

I'm trying to make calls in background like POST,GET to be more precise in the didReceiveRemoteNotification method, because they start to work as a push notification arrive. My problem is that all the Alamofire.request are never call in Background mode until I open the app. I have by now Im was trying to open a session but it won't make the request work. These is what i want to execute in background (cellphone in background) Alamofire.Manager(configuration: configuration).request(.GET, url, parameters: nil) .responseJSON { (_, _, JSON, _) in //println(JSON) println(JSON) REST OF THE CODE But

Hey! I need to know how I can have my iOS Application start a download in the background of the application (like, have the download run in the AppDelegate file) so changing ViewControllers will not interrupt or cancel the download. I also need to be able to get the progress of the download ( 0.00000 - 1.00000 ), to set a UIProgressView object to, which also means I need a - (void)progressDidChangeTo:(int)progress function. Piotr Czapla Just use ASIHTTPRequest it is way easier than NSURLRequest and does exactly what you need. It examples that shows how to download in background and how to

I want to convert a CGPoint from my UIView to UIWindow coordinates and have realized that UIApplication keyWindow is always nil; why is this? I have tried the convertPoint:toView: method from UIView. Please see this sample code I tried in the view controller in a template of Xcode (View application): - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UIView *test = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(40,40,250,250)]; [test setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]]; [self.view addSubview:test]; CGPoint p = CGPointMake(100, 100); CGPoint np; np = [test convertPoint:p toView:[[UIApplication

I want to check if the app is running in the background. In: locationManagerDidUpdateLocation { if(app is runing in background){ do this } } DavidN App delegate gets callbacks indicating state transitions. You can track it based on that. Also the applicationState property in UIApplication returns the current state. [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState] Aswathy Bose UIApplicationState state = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] applicationState]; if (state == UIApplicationStateBackground || state == UIApplicationStateInactive) { //Do checking here. } This may help you in solving

I'm trying to implement background push notification handling, but I'm having issues with determining whether the user opened the app from the push notification that was sent as opposed to opening it from the icon. - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler { //************************************************************ // I only want this called if the user opened from swiping the push notification. // Otherwise I just want to update the local model //******

I am working on an application which will not work if terminated. It has some background tasks. I want to show a local notification if the app is terminated. There are applications which do this which means this is doable. But I am not able to find out a way. I have tried to set up a local notification in applicationWillTerminate: method of appdelegate as well as added a notification of app termination in my viewcontroller but none of the methods get called when app is actually terminated. - (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application { NSLog(@"terminated"); UIApplication * app

I think to know what the App Delegate does. It has some nice methods like -applicationDidFinishLaunching which will be called when the app has finished launching, and so on. But what's that actually? Is that some object instantiated in the UIApplicationMain function? And how does it work that every class in my app has access to that App Delegate object? Is there any good graph on the net that visualizes these relationships? In Cocoa, a delegate is an object that another object defers to on questions of behavior and informs about changes in its state. For instance, a UITableViewDelegate is
