the main idea of an app i'm working on it is: if the user picked up and put down his iPhone even if it's locked; or interact with it(i.e press the home button, volume button, power button), i should inform the app to do something.
the big problem that faced me is the sensors don't work in the background, and i saw a problem like mine here with no answer:
iOS 7.1: Get Core Motion data (accelerometer, gyroscope) while app is in background
so please anyone can help me with this mission? any example ?
I'd be thankful for any help.

invoke a alarm when someone touched the iPhone or iPad and a app is running in background.
this is happening into a ios app i.e. iAntiTheft
iAntiTheft is not using the location i checked the permission of the app, in a scenario i put the app in background activating motion alert and device get's locked after some time, now i pick the device, it immediately show a Notification and start alarm on high volume.
one More thing here to notice it always playing a low volume beep beep after enabling the motion sensor alert. any help appreciated.
how can i achieve this.
The answer to get Core Motion Update when the app is in background and the device locked. in both case just put an audio with background mode playing after the core motion updates function, now the device will go to background or get locked you always getting the core motion coordinates updates
Repo Link Providing soon
I have an app that uses ARKit to detect faces and send over the network the coordinates of interest, which works well. I would like this app to run in background, still sending the data over the network, while I would be using another app (almost) fullscreen.
The option 'Enable multiple windows' is activated in info.plist, but as soon as I launch my other app, the ARKit app stops sending information (the app actually probably stops).
Is there a simple way to do this, and at least is this feasible? Thanks!
This is not possible at this point. Camera and AR stuff is disabled at a system level in apps when they are displayed in Slide Over or Split View.
I'd recommend displaying a warning message when Slide Over/Split Screen is being used saying that you should use the app in full screen mode. See this answer under a different question for details.
Does anyone know when the App Store started requiring the app previews to be on a physical device and show this pop-up?
Even when I mirror my iPhone Xs to my Mac, the pop-up does not show. If no pop-up on video, app store rejects app preview.
Anyone know of a better way to get around this issue?
Another image that shows issue:
This pop-up NEVER shows on screen recording or mirroring....
We have same problem. You have two options:
You can record the screen from another mobile or camera
You can use a previous iOS. We have checked that permission dialog can be screen recorded with iOS12
What was your solution?
Yes, has been steadily, over the past 3'ish years or so, working on removing certain system sensitive controls from being displayed in that feed. My guess it's for $SEKURITY reasons, though it doesn't completely make sense, to me, what would be the attack vector that it attempts to prevent.
The location dialog is not the only case I know that it hides. It originally started with them hiding even *** in the password text fields, and hiding the keyboard in such input, as well. Apparently it now expanded to location, and likely other system dialogs. 🤷♂️
Surprisingly few people seem to be discussing this.
I published an app last year (2021 / June) on 14.? which required the popup and it was accepted. Did this again with another app just after 15.? and I cannot get it past the apple store. Once they allowed me to post a video recording and I got it through, but since then ... no chance.
How are people getting their app through - I assume apple use the screen capture system to do their testing.
I had the same problem but my app was accepted.
Surely screen recording does not work, but screen capture does. I have embedded a screenshot of the permission dialog into a video and submitted it for app review.
I am wondering how I can keep receiving motion sensor values while the app is in background mode. I realize that there are already several posts out there. For example, I have tried How Nike+ GPS on iPhone receives accelerometer updates in the background? which does not work for me.
I have also enabled background modes (location updates at the moment) in my App-Info.plist.
Are there any working examples out there? Also, if possible, I would not want to implement some of the hacks, e.g. play silent audio or get the user's location. Apps such as SleepCycle seem to be able to have achieved this without any workarounds.
I'd be grateful for any help.
I want to make app as my master thesis on ios 7 but I need to know if could run camera on background. I need to record video after user press home button (it should be traffic cam to car while user uses another app eg. navigation). I know it was not possilbe in ios 6 but I know that ios 7 has better support for background tasks... Is it please possible? I would be grateful for every answer. Thank you
There is a list of long-running tasks permitted in the background in Apple's documentation.
Camera access is not one of them. You will need to have your app in the foreground to use the camera.
