I noticed that when my app displays the Location Services authorization dialog, the app gets suspended for a short while (it receives the UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification notification). Is this documented or discussed somewhere? What could be the reason? Do other authorization dialogs also do it?
I’m still interested in some authoritative resources on this, but after some thinking the behaviour makes sense. The authorization dialog can’t be a part of the app, since that could create a security risk: the app could try to confirm the dialog on user’s behalf. And since the dialog is not a part of the app, it makes sense to consider the app deactivated while the pop-up is being displayed. It looks like all authorization dialogs do it.
