SDK Hints At Possible Background Processes?

in

Rumor has it that the UIApplication delegate class found in he iPhone SDK beta that might mean the ability to run background processes after all. According to an anonymous source of TUAW, "There are definitely some very interesting methods added to UIApplication's delegate, including methods for badging the Springboard icon, and methods related to gaining and resigning "active" status - seems like background apps may be permitted somehow."

Maybe, or maybe not...

It seems that 'active' in this case actually means 'has focus' so I wouldn't start planning those service daemons just yet...

But then again maybe I misread the docs.
