Is there a way to set the "preferred" app to nothing? I really want to be able to
detect the hotsync interrupt but at the same
time not interrupt the currently running process. My understanding of the situation
is that I can set my own app as the preferred
app, but then when the app gets run it will cause the app that was running to receive
an appStopEvent and shutdown. This is
undesirable as it will cause the app to lose data - or if it stores that data before
exiting it will at least cause it to require a
restart by the user.
