Is it possible to run a background process on the iPhone using private APIs?

Question

I am not planning to send the application to the store, it would be for a limited distribution. I was thinking that if I could use the private API to do background process, I could then I could join the iphone developer enterprise program, and distribute within my company an application which works in the background. I guess an extension of the question would be, if I am an enterprise developer is there a way to achieve background processing without jailbreaking.

Answer 1

Probably against the SDK rules, even for enterprise deployment.

But blocking in - (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)app will probably work.
