Two questions about multi-tasking on the iOS 4

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi friends,

Please, I’d like to hear from you about these two questions:

  1. In your experience, is there a good reason to disable multi-tasking (UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true) for an iOS 4 game?

  2. When I call the os.exit() method, the app is closed, but its icon remains at the “background bar” (that is shown when I double-tap on the device home button). Is there a way to programmatically remove the app from there?

Disabling it would free up resources.
No, there’s no way to remove it from the bar. :slight_smile:
It’s not just a ‘background’ bar but also a ‘quick launch’ bar.
I’d love it if they were to actually highlight any ‘backgrounded’ apps. [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 13435 reply_id: 49398[/import]
