iOS App running in Background

Question

I have an app that need to poll the status from the server in a regular time interval (1 minute), to trigger alarm in the app.

to keep the app active in background for this purpose. I am thinking to enable the Location Updates for the background mode. So I can still continue to poll data from the server.

Is this feasible ? or will my app get rejected by Apple ?

or , there is better way of keeping app alive in background to allow me poll data at 1 minute interval ?

Answer 1

Apple does not allow apps to run in the background. If you want to trigger an alarm remotely, you should use push notifications .

Answer 2

Apple wont allow to run the application in background.The app will get rejected for this. Apple automatically deactive the application after few hours.

You can use APNS notification for this
