Hi I am looking for a way to make sure that my app cannot be completely closed or at least automatically open when the iPhone turns on. I am happy to use any private api's to accomplish this. Is this possible? Although it may affect battery life, for the b2b app i am making it needs to always listen for certain events and we do not want the user closing it out. Thank you for any help in this!

If you can't accomplish what you want with the documented API's, you're probably either doing it wrong and/or not supposed to do it. What are these "certain events" you're trying to listen for?? – Jonathon Reinhart Sep 26 '13 at 01:31

well im pretty sure that you cannot accomplish this with documented API's since its without user control. I am listening for an iBeacon device but if the app is closed it wont connect to the device. It only works if the app is open and I want to make sure the user cannot close it. – Inovize Sep 26 '13 at 01:39

Is the device bluetooth connected? I think you can register an app to respond to certain types of things connecting to your device – Bergasms Sep 26 '13 at 01:49

Couple of things:
Restarting an app
VOIP application automatically start applications after reboot and in couple of other cases. So, it's better to use it.
Continuously running
There are couple of methods.
Most commons are:
1) Play silent audio in the loop:
Look at these
How do I start playing audio when in silent mode & locked in iOS 6?

2) Use turning on and off LocationManager
Prevent app from being closed
I am not aware of this one.

No need for private APIs if you physically control the device in question: use guided access mode.
