My app does real time inventory but if the user leaves the app active and the iPhone locks it’s in an unknown state when he/she unlocks the iPhone, as far as the user is concerned.
I either have to time out the app, assuming the app would keep running after the iPhone locks, I.e. put to a just opened equivalent state or if I can tell that the iPhone was just unlocked I can do a reset to known state based on that.
Last alternative is a restart button for the user to press, but since that requires some smarts on the users side, it’ll be missed and therefore least favourite option
Open to any/all suggestions.

There is a “system” runtime event that indicates “applicationStart”, “applicationExit”, “applicationSuspend”, and “applicationResume” [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 1472 reply_id: 4106[/import]
local function systemMsg(event)
print( "System event: " .. event.type )
end
Runtime:addEventListener( "system", systemMsg );
You can use the Simulator to Suspend/Resume your app and view the messages in the Terminal. It also shows the app starting and exiting. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 1472 reply_id: 4110[/import]
