I am just looking into development for the iPhone and I was wondering if it is possible to trigger an action at a certain time?
Based on what I have read it does not seem like this is currently not an option because there are no background processes allowed. Is this true? If so do you guys/gals have any ideas on alternatives?
Thanks
If your app is not running, then no, it’s not currently possible.
If your app is running, you can always use
NSTimer.Also, a manual trigger method was mentioned here on SO that involves sending emails with links in them that cause your app to start.
