What do you mean exactly by quit? Here are some quit-like situations I can think of: - user shuts down the phone - your app is killed for using too much memory - user swipes up to kill the app from the task switcher I don't know of a reliable way to hook into those events. Would it be possible to periodically dump the cache to the db in the background?
