In anticipation of wanting to have a well behaved app, I added a call to GetResumed to check whether the game should be placed into paused mode.

And it didn't appear to work. I kinda expected it to not work in Windows, but it didn't work on my iPod Touch or my iPad.

I added a call to Message to show if GetResumed returned one and it never appeared.

Is this a legit bug, or is there something else that should be done?

And it looks like the game continues to run while in the background (my timer keeps going and I use GetFrameTime to update it).

I can't find any command that lets me check to see if the app has been minimised (windows or Mac) or sent to the background (iOS, Android).

This is quite important for being accepted as an app by Apple.

If you use get frame time then it might not be a good test as you might end up with 1 big sync. Count every frame instead and see what happens.

Having a call is also different than multitasking. You need to try it on a phone with an incoming call.

I just reran my test on my Android device and it actually did catch the GetResumed.

And I was wrong about the timer updating while in the background. I apparently didn't look at the time properly before and after.

But my iOS app does not get one when calling GetResumed(), like it should.

Currently only the Blackberry and Android implement this command properly, but iOS will follow in the near future if I find a way of detecting it.

Okay. Good to know.

It doesn't hurt to leave the code in place to detect it and put the app in 'pause' mode.

When it becomes functional in iOS (I have faith in you), then it will become an update in the App Store.
