Hi All,
I have searched the web and cant find an answer to this so im assuming its A NO! but would like to be sure.
In short I need to create an app that will sit in suspend state (as a background service) and monitor device activity such as change of orientation / accelerometer.
I know that the Android SDK has a Service class (to perform a longer-running operation while not interacting with the user ) and for XCode there is LSBackgroundOnly (to create faceless background apps).
Im hoping Corona has something similar?
Any knowledge greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ive done a bit more digging and what im trying to do is implement a Long-Running Background Tasks (I guess a bit like whatsApp) [import]uid: 159912 topic_id: 30795 reply_id: 123269[/import]
There are a few things that can be backgrounded, like playing audio for a podcast, but for the most part, no, you can’t background an app and have it continue running. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 30795 reply_id: 123306[/import]
is that Corona or generally? Obviously WhatsApp is background and manages to receive new messages, is there anywhere I can go to find out what functionality is available for background apps?
