Developing for Apple can be a PITA with their strict background processing rules, apps just terminate/stop working unless they fall under a special case. I get it but yeah.

edit: by terminate I don't mean crash, it just stops code execution an example is an active socket connection getting disconnected unless it's doing something like streaming audio

But as a user I appreciate the strictness much more. I don't have to worry about closing background apps or having a bunch of crap running when I'm not actively using it. The OS (mostly) handles that for me, as it should.

    Absolutely. I’d rather have backgrounded apps unexpectedly closed from time to time than to find a big chunk of battery gone at a bad time because some app I don’t even care about has decided it needs to keep running and eating resources for some reason.
