How to auto-restart an app after a crash (like Skype 4.0 did)

Perhaps you've all heard about what Skype did with their iOS app; it will auto-restart itself when it crashes: http://bytenow.net/2012/04/30/skype-releases-4-0-update-for-ios-brings-ui-redesign-and-auto-relaunch

I'm wondering how this is done. Does anyone know?

I don't know how Skype does, in my case I made an app to run in an "iPad Kiosk" so in case it crashed I needed the app to automatically restart, so what I did was put my iPad in "Kiosk mode" and the OS automatically restarts the app in case of crashes.

Take a look at:
