That part was not correctly transferred from Cordova docs to Steroids docs.. @satu, @harri a) what's up with the docs b) this feature is awesome, can we enable it?
This would be pretty amazing...Any word on this guys?
I've now fixed the docs, thanks for catching this! From a brief investigation, the `resign` event and the info below seems to be legacy stuff from the way iOS 5 handled app suspension to background, back when you could decide whether to enable or disable multitasking. `UIApplicationExistsOnSuspend` is a value in `Info.plist`, which will be exposed to the user to configure in an upcoming Build Service upgrade. Currently, you can't configure it. However, it's not much use: on iOS7, setting the value of the flag to `YES` (defaults to `NO`) simply makes your app terminate every time you press the home button or the lock button – no magic switch to enable background running, unfortunately. The iOS7 Background APIs provide some methods for this, but we haven't yet thoroughly investigated how they could be used to enhance Steroids apps. A custom plugin should be able to access them though!
Thanks for the answer! What I was actually looking is UIBackgroundModes. I have radio app and I want it to keep playing even when phone is locked or app is moved to the background. I managed to do it with PhoneGap, but it would be really cool to see this feature in upcoming Steroids updates as well.
Yup, that'll be available after we update the Build Service to support an user-provided `Info.plist` file!
