Is there such a thing as suspend/resume on iOS, or just startup and

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?

There's no suspend/resume, apps always quit. You'll need to save the current state so that the next time it opens you can reset everything. Startup and shutdown are reliable messages though, and you can plug into those.
