In the Phone app in iOS 7 you can still see the user's background. Is it possible for third-party devs to create this effect i.e. get the user's background?

I am developing an app in which I have implemented a small turn based game using game centre. I have facing a problem and problem is when I have start the game and invite a friend then the notification banner with appropriate message is display on friend device but when he play the game and give turn to me and when my app is in background mode then only the badge is display but notification banner is not display but if I have remove the app from background then notification banner appears correctly. This process is running correctly with iOS 7 & 8 but not with iOS 9. Please suggest me any idea to solve this.
Thanks in advance!
I've integrated opentok ios sdk in my iOS 7 app, it is working fine, except this problem:
During video chat if I don't access iPhone for 5-10 seconds..then my app moves into background, causing viewer at other end to hear only audio. Video is disabled after app goes to background state.
I've observed same thing with their official example
https://github.com/opentok/opentok-ios-sdk/tree/master/samples/OpenTokFullTutorial
How can I avoid my app going to background while video chat is ongoing. Skype is working fine in this case, I want to achieve same thing.
What you want to do is prevent the iPhone from going to sleep. To do this, you cant try this:
[UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES;
Here is iOS documentation on idleTimerDisabled
If you don't want the app going into background at all (like when the user taps on home button), you can opt to kill the app when it's not running instead of having it run in the background. To do that, check out iOS guide on opting out of background execution
If you do not want your app to run in the background at all, you can
explicitly opt out of background by adding the
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend key (with the value YES) to your app’s
Info.plist file. When an app opts out, it cycles between the
not-running, inactive, and active states and never enters the
background or suspended states. When the user presses the Home button
to quit the app, the applicationWillTerminate: method of the app
delegate is called and the app has approximately 5 seconds to clean up
and exit before it is terminated and moved back to the not-running
state.
Hope that helped!
I have set in the Info.plist, the "app require background modes", the "app registers for location updates".
I put the app to be in the background, and I do get the location delegates for a while, but after 25 minutes it stopped getting the locations.
How do I know that? Each call of the delegate, it sends the data to the server (parse) .
I am also wondering if the problem arises because the location is turned off in the background, or because I can't send data to the server at background.
Also do I have to turn on audio to keep it alive?
According to Apple, I can listen in the background with:
apps that play audible content to the user while in the background, such as a music player app
apps that record audio content while in the background
apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
apps that need to download and process new content regularly
apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Do I have to turn on an audio? Our app needs to get data location constantly from business.
This issue is amazing. There are dozens of opinions about what you can do and what you can't do. There is no one place that tells you how you can sample background locations, and if Apple allows this.
I guess problem is with pausesLocationUpdatesAutomaticallyBy
By default LocationManager pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically is Yes, so after some if your device is not move or not change location may OS will stop the app, so set NO for this property , and not need to turn on an audio.
I'm developing an app which uses ibeacon to determine if the user entered a specific region.
Now I'm using the CoreLocation framework to implement this geofencing-based feature.
I've read the document below.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/CoreLocation/Reference/CLLocationManager_Class/CLLocationManager/CLLocationManager.html
in which the Apple is saying that:
"In iOS, the regions you register with the location manager persist between launches of your application. If a region crossing occurs while your iOS app is not running, the system automatically wakes it up (or relaunches it) in the background so that it can process the event. When relaunched, all of the regions you configured previously are made available in the monitoredRegions property of any location manager objects you create. "
I discovered that it's true just before the ios 7.
From ios 7, An app will be waken-up from background but it will actually no longer could be re-launched from terminated-state (slided out from the task manager which displayed by double-clicking the home button).
If it's due to the Apple's policies, why does Apple not update the above official document?
So I'm thinking of an ios7's bug because the Reminder App (a built-in app) is also not relaunched in ios7 even though it's relaunched in ios6.
Is this issue due to Apple's policies? or an ios7's bugs?
It takes me more than 2 days to google for a solution.
Any ideas for this issue?
The documentation is simply out of date. This is intended behavior in iOS7. Apple produced a video explicitly discussing this change. The idea is that if the user explicitly terminates the app, the user does not want it running. See this thread.
Is this such a big deal? How often will users really do this? Remember, if users are annoyed by you app, they can always uninstall it, too. This was true in iOS6.
iOS 7.1 reversed this policy. That is even if the user kills your app the iOS still launches your app upon crossing the region.
I have made one application in iOS 4.0.In that application using Photo Library i am getting image in ImageView and from the Button Click I want to set that image as a iPhone Background so how can I do this using iOS 4.0?
Unfortunately, neither iOS 4.0 (nor even 5 for that matter) allow you to change the user's background from within an application, only from the Settings application. The most you could do is prompt a user to save the image to the Camera Roll, open the Photos application, and set it themselves.
