Detect App idle time period for iOS in Xamarin forms

Question

I recently started working in Xamarin forms and quite happy to be part of Xamarin community. I've a requirement to kick out the loggedIn User if he is idle on app for 10 mins. I got through of it in Android part using usual Life Cycle methods (combination of OnResume/OnPause) but not yet succeeded in iOS app.

I've hard time trying to find a solution over the internet but not able to find the one so far. I also tried with using Some Life cycle methods like WillEnterForeground/DidEnterbackground but due to some reason these method are not invoked on desired actions.

FYI, I am from the Android background so not expertise in iOS. Any help would be highly appreciated or let me know If I am missing anything.

Actually what was wrong with WillEnterForeground/DidEnterbackground? — SushiHangover, Apr 18 '18 at 06:35
it is expected that debugger should come in this method but actually it's not coming. — sohit sharma, Apr 18 '18 at 06:41
With the app running in a debug session, hit Home, `DidEnterbackground` (i.e. `applicationDidEnterBackground:`) will be called. — SushiHangover, Apr 18 '18 at 06:47

in App class

DateTime sleepTime;
protected override void OnSleep()
{
    base.OnSleep();
    sleepTime = DateTime.Now;
}

protected override void OnResume()
{
    base.OnResume();
    var sleepDuration = DateTime.Now - sleepTime;
}
