to run app continuously in the background

Question

I want to my app to keep running in the background with location services. For this I have used:

-(void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)applic         


        

Answer 1

I know this is very late for an answer. But if you still haven't got the answer, here is what I did and my app continuously runs in the background.

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
     UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
     UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier bgTask = 0;

     backgroundTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10 target:self  selector:@selector(backgroundTask) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

     bgTask = [app beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:^{
        [app endBackgroundTask:bgTask];
    }];
}

Now do whatever you want in the backgroundTask method.
