I’ve found a strange thing happening on os7.0 (and 7.1 as I've just discovered) while testing one of my applications.
Previously (on OS6.0 and below), TimerTasks that were scheduled via a Timer would not execute if I turned off my device.
These are being scheduled to run once and not “at a fixed rate”, once the task has completed the app creates new instances of the timer and task and schedules them to run again later. I won't bore you with the reason why I have to do this.
On OS7.0 they continue to run when I’ve turned the device off, either by holding down the END key or clicking on the power off app icon.
These tasks still execute and go through the reschedule and execute function (after the correct allotted period).
Has anyone else noticed this effect and seen any documents / release notes to explain this change in functionality?
