The "App Store Review Guidelines" state (2.16) that "Multitasking apps may only use background services for their intended purposes: VoIP, audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications, etc."
There is a background mode plist key (UIBackgroundModes="voip") for apps that provide VOIP services, allowing the app to continue to handle listening and data sockets while in the background. In the discussion for UIBackgroundModes, the doc states that: "These keys should be used sparingly and only by applications providing the indicated services." All this taken together suggests that I shouldn't use this key for "voip" unless I am specifically a VOIP application, or else risk App Store rejection. Is anyone using this form of background mode in an non-VOIP app that's in the app store? Fwiw I would like to be able to run in the background enough to be able to send and receive SSH-level keepalives so that I can keep an SSH session open, given that it's costly to setup in the first place (imho).
