Hi all, My iPhone application continuously pings a back-end server to check for new documents. If a new document is found an alert is triggered which consists of a dialogue and sound alert. If the phone is locked then neither of these events occur, which is undesirable. With a bit of googling I have discovered you can disable the standby timer, which helps but doesn't cover the use case when a user locks the phone manually.
Is there any way to allow the alerts to continue to fire even when the phone is locked? Obviously Apple achieve this with calls/messages etc but perhaps it is not possible with 3rd party applications? I also have a query about using Apple's alert sounds. Firstly how would I get hold of for example the top three Apple alert tones (i.e. Tri-tone, Chime and Glass). Secondly, are these sounds copyrighted or are you able to use them in a 3rd party app. Many thanks in advance, Dan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
