Question

I set the UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend to boolean and checked the checkbox, so I assumed that

- (void) applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application

is not called – but I always get into that method when I click the home button in my simulator. Am I doing something wrong or can I be sure that the app will behave the “old style” and does not support multitasking?

Thanks a lot,

Stefan

One difference I have found to test this is using the iPhone 4 Simulator or Device connected to the Xcode debugger. If you have it enabled properly, when you hit the home button it will exit the debugger. If “multitasking” is enabled, when you hit the home button, the debugger will not exit – touching your icon and bringing it back will continue with your debugging session.
