- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application

Question

I inserted an NSLog and a UIAlertView into this function call. When I pressed the home button, the NSLog executed, but not the UIAlertView. Why is that?

Answer 1

Try doing it in applicationWillResignActive (not tested). It gets called before applicationDidEnterBackground. But I think you should rethink throwing up an alert box for the 5 secs before iOS kills it.
