Closer to the AppStore but yet so far

I found out hidden in a developer forum that Apple has recently allowed the use of one private API which ScreenSplitr uses:

CGImageRef UIGetScreenImage();

However, ScreenSplitr still has to run in the background. Unless…

    Unless what? Unless apple allows background processes in 4.0? We could really use this functionality on non jail broken devices in the business/educational sector.

    There is a chance of it on the app store because 4.0 will have backrounding.

    Either I was informed wrong, either you were:
    Multitasking on 4.0 doesn’t actually runs apps in the background, instead it uses a new API that is called to “freeze” the app on that state. If the app has more than just the “freezing”, it can also have the possibility to know if the app was closed in that moment or not.
    So using ScreenSplitr will only work either with a Daemon or making it actually run in the background.

    Are you developing a version of Screensplitr that will run on the iPad? If so, any ETA on release?

    Please keep up the great work! Screensplitr for iPhone and DemoGod on the Mac are WONDERFUL apps!!!
