iPad App Logout
Posted by Sudhir Kelappan on August 22, 2012
After entering the logout password the App just quits exit (0);
This is against the Apples guidelines (copied below).
Pls. advise. Probably we can show the login screen again but it is very similar to logout.

The iOS Human Interface Guidelines specify,
"Always Be Prepared to Stop
iOS applications stop when people press the Home button to open a different application or use a device feature, such as the phone. In particular, people don’t tap an application close button or select Quit from a menu. To provide a good stopping experience, an iOS application should:
- Save user data as soon as possible and as often as reasonable because an exit or terminate notification can arrive at any time.
- Save the current state when stopping, at the finest level of detail possible so that people don’t lose their context when they start the application again. For example, if your app displays scrolling data, save the current scroll position."

Your comment is noted.
Please leave this functionality as it is. We will try go explain to Apple when we submit an app. If it will not work then we think of it further.
The reason for this functionality is that iPad will be installed into case with Home button physically blocked.
Denis.
