As far as I've seen with using LC straight up... Hit the home button on Android it stays running until the OS reclaims the memory. On iOS it stops immediately. I've seen a thread on this topic and as I remember there are ways to keep the app running on iOS.

As far as I can see, when a LC app is suspended and resumed, it's in every way restarted. Unless we save our state explicitly in a file/database/stack, and then reconstruct it on startup. Is that correct, or am I missing something? If that is correct - is the shutdown message a reliable signal that our app is going to be backgrounded, on which we can save whatever data we need to restore state? Or do we have to save at every change in state, just in case we're about to be suspended? ... and is it the same approach on Android, or do we have suspend/resume there?
