<Thanks to Panos for this tip:> On iOS use mergNotify as below. Works well for me.
on openStack mergNotify "UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification" mergNotify "UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification" end openStack on UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification pUserInfo // Your code before the app goes to background -- your code here to handle going to the background end UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification on UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification pUserInfo // Your code after the app comes back to foreground -- your code here to handle your app becoming active end UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification Henry > On Nov 17, 2020, at 10:54 AM, J.
