applicationSuspend and location event

Hi

I have a really simple question, I am looking in to creating a app, the track my runs. i’m looking at phonegap,appcelerator and corona. I have looked around online and found the applicationSuspend event. If the app is suspended does the location event still fire??

Thanks

I don’t think we defined this behavior and it is up to the OS. On iOS, applications do not run while backgrounded (by default) so the location events should stop running. Furthermore, on iOS, you can request background operation for your app where you list the type of functionality (e.g. audio, gps). However, Corona doesn’t officially support this right now and I don’t know if this will work if this is what you are interested in.
