Thanks Jacquie - you’re right, suspendStack doesn’t seem to be supported by either iOS or Android so no joy there. I wanted the app to quit when the user navigated away from it because I have a routine that attempts to sync files that have been saved but not uploaded each time the app starts up. If the app stays running then that sync script doesn’t run. I can work around this but it would be nice to know when the app loses focus.
