Question

Answer 1

You can move the function up the responder chain, to UIApplication subclass. This way, it will always be there to catch the event.

This kind of event is ignored in common UI and controller classes, so it travels up to the bottom of responder chain, where your app delegate and the the application itself reside.

As noted here, UIApplication's delegate is not part of responder chain (I was wrong here). UIApplication is there, so is root UIWidow, all the views in chain and corresponding UIViewControllers.
