How to test iPhone wake up code?

Question

When an iOS app is woken up the applicationDidBecomeActive delegate is called.

If a device is attached to the debugger then the app will never sleep.

How do I debug problems in the wake up code?

Locking manually doesn't work? Can't you just test that without the debugger? — seppo0010, Feb 01 '11 at 01:58
Nope, I don't see the bug unless it has locked up by itself. — Ben, Feb 01 '11 at 02:50

just delegate your applicationDidBecomeActive to other method and unittest it. You are testing your code, not Apple's wakeup callback mechanism.

Very good point but my bug is related to network stuff that I only see on wake up and I want to step through it all. – Ben Feb 01 '11 at 02:47
