App get kill in background

Question

I want to use background gps background, and I set the App registers for location updates . I want to my app is not killed by system, but when 10min my app is close.

my code is:

    #import "AppDelegate.h"
    #import "ViewController.h"

    @implementation AppDelegate
    @synthesize locationManager;

    - (void)dealloc
    {
     [_window release];
      [_viewController release];
      [super dealloc];
     }

     - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
    {  
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(
                                                         NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *logPath = [documentDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"decrypt.log"];
    freopen([logPath cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding], "w", stderr);

Using a timer (which suspends when the app goes into the background) would be a wrong approach.

Apple strongly recommends against self termination of your app, since users might get a wrong impression that your app crashed (and then leave bad feedback or reviews about your app on the app store).

If you really want to do this, the way I would do this would be -- at either launch time or when the app goes into the background -- to set a variable or property of your app to be a date 10 minutes into the future.

When you get a Core Location / GPS update in background mode, if the current date/time is beyond that date you saved previously, then the app can terminate.
