Multiple Mobile Shutdown Messages?

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Scott,

I use the plist hack that allows suspend. When I reopen the stack from the suspended state, I’m pretty darn sure the StartUp handler is not triggered. It is triggered when the app is opened fresh… can you make sure of that?

be well,
randy
