Hi Guys,

How can I run a APP in back ground.

Say I have a timer with interface of setting and displaying.

After I set the time, I want to use my iPad for something else, say watch Youtube etc, at this time, I want my time Disappear from Screen, but when time out, the APP shows up with interface and notification of time is out.

Thanks

Mila

You cannot make your app “show up” without the user opening it, however you could track how much time had passed not by using a timer but by getting the os.time() on exit/minimize and then calculating the difference when the app is reopened again.
