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:

You can’t just ran your app 5min in the background.. You can schedule a timed local notification with alarm though
