iOS Application Does Not Run In Background = YES - how do I check when the user exits app

In my info.plist file I have Application Does Not Run In Background = YES. This is an enterprise app and I am trying to log when a user exits (hits the home button). But in AppDelegate, I was logging to the console to see what method would be called and none of them were (applicationWillResignActive, applicationDidEnterBackground, applicationWillTerminate). Is there a way to determine when a user exits with the plist setting I have>?

Thanks

Here's the willTerminate method, it's right out of the box: 

- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application
{
    NSLog(@"goodbye");
    // Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.



}

I've changed the plist settings and can now log from applicationDidEnterBackground.

So you don't want the app to run in the background but you want to know when the app terminates? Do this

UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(applicationWillTerminate:)
                                             name:UIApplicationWillTerminateNotification
                                            object:app];

Then fill in your own applicationWillTerminate method. You won't have much time to do stuff.

if you have set ApplicationDoesNotRunInBackgound to YES, then this must work,

put this method in your appDelegate.m

-(void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application
{
    NSLog(@"user exits app");
}

In my app, with the same plist settings, this method fires
