[ios] Evaluating JS during onAppWillResignActive
Local Notifications, especially on ios, are most useful when app is in
the background. It would be handy to be able to schedule them during
the window of time allotted during onAppWillResignActive.
We even already have handlers for js document events 'resign' and
'pause' (this one is for a
onAppDidEnterBackground event). (There are some issues with the
javascript here, seems the events aren't properly defined, will file
separately).
However, no matter how I try, I cannot get more then a trivial amount
of js to execute during the time window before app pauses -- far less
than the allowed 5 seconds.
According to the only (unreliable) source I've found on the subject,
its simply not possible to use the webview during
onAppWillResignActive:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4865742/iphone-webview-onbackground-event
Does anyone have a better answer here?
Thanks,

Alright, this has been resolved.
See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1746 for my comment about
how this was done (ended up a small change) and what is left to be
done (maybe).

Yes, and I forgot I filed that already, so thanks ;)
I'll put up the patch tomorrow. Its still limited what you can do,
nothing async that uses setTimeout etc, but its nice to be able to use
console log and so make certain plugin calls, such as notifications.

Great Michal!
I assume it's related to this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1746
Since its a blocker I assume we want to make this in before releasing 2.2.0.

Success!
After some debugging with Andrew, we have been able to make the exec
bridge work even in resign event. (Testing pause event, too).
I've uncovered a few bugs in the process and patches will be up soon,
but long story short, I've got local notifications being scheduled on
app resign, huzzah!

This is something we encountered when playing with the pause and
resume events. More details in the iOS Quirks of
