... probably because, when the shutdown message arrive, iOS is closing the task and the UI is already gone !

You have just the right to quickly save the necessary infos and to close. ;)

Hello all!

I want an app that is able to check every minute if the iPhone has a valid internet connection, and it would show a toast that would say so....and I want the app to still do this even when closed.

Is this possible? Please help. :(


Thanks,
Genie
