Listening to device shake event on background mode [duplicate]

Question

I'm new to iOS development, with strong background in Android.

I know that Android gives developers much more control and power to do whatever they want, and it's pretty easy to listen to the accelerometer event if your app was closed a month ago.

I know that iOS gives a few background processing abilities, but the nature of motion events is to be handled via a view controller.

Is there any way to listen to motion event while the app is in background state?

Answer 1

According to Apple's Background Execution Programming Guide, listening to motion events in the background is not supported.
