Hi there A.Tekant, thanks for your answer, I have some questions for you about this topic: I'm designing an app that need to send a notification like a classic clock alarm timer to the user, let's say each and every 25 minutes of cellphone usage, ofc only if the device is being used. The thing is that when my app is put to background, then Apple will shut it down after 30-60secs. I was thinking to send a silent push notification to my app just so I can wake it up for an instant just so it can shoot a local notification, and then keep in the background inactive. That means I'll have to send to my app around 3 silent push notifications x hour. Do you think it is a problem or it's ok to do that? Let me know your experience on this matters, Thanks a lot for your time, A.
