Hi All,I have an App that starts a Timer, this timer could potentially be put into the Background or a User might go to another App while the App Timer has begun. What I am finding with the latest OS is that my timer now goes to sleep with the app when it's put into the Background.How can I have the Timer begin and finish even though the App is in the Background? What happening is the User starts a 1 min timer, this timer runs and the App could go into the background because the User forgot about the Timer was running. And when the App is in the background we're finding that our alarm that happens (10 seconds before the actualy timer finishes) isn't triggering and the countdown in the App stops. Is there anything I can do to work around this issue? The timer is max 5 mins. Min: 1 min.How can I have it so that my timer in my app will finish; even if it's in the background and the alarm still goes off and can be heard by the User?Kyle

Hi All,I am hoping someone can help me out here or point me in the right direction, I am at a impasse.I have an app and trying to flesh the idea that I want to create. The point is to allow the user to run 1-5 min, at the end of the timer, a alarm will go off on the phone. However I need to allow the app to go into the background and continue the timer.What should happen:I want to start a timer, when app goes into background how do I keep that timer going? And an alarm goes off when the timer finishesKM
