My app has certain events that have to fire at a certain date. When an event fires, it must show an alert and play a sound for a certain amount of time or play a mp3, for example.
How is this done? I as this because iOS will not allow an app to run on the background for much long and if I schedule a local notification I will not be allowed to play more than 30 seconds of sounds.
So, if this is not possible how do I see a lot of alarm clocks on the store that claim they will wake up you with music????
Can you guys point me the way?
thanks
The local notification system is available to process these types of events in the background. Check out the Local Notification Programming Guide.
