I haven't been able to get an iOS Player on my iPhone3GS (anyone want to help me with this, let me know!) but do AppGameKit apps run in the background? As in, if I make an app with AppGameKit that beeps every 10 seconds - if I switch to another application on my device - will it still beep?

since you ask about the agk player i assume that you want to do this notification app in tier 1. you cannot do that kind of background notifications in t1.

AGK apps pause when they are sent to the background on supported devices.

I drink tea, and in my spare time I write software.

Thanks for the response Lee. Just wondering, it'd be neat to make an app that could do background events (like a background timer), but that would require Tier2 tinkering.

Not quite there yet in my programming adventures!
