https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/refreshing_and_maintaining_your_app_using_background_tasks Looks like you could kick off a recurring background task with a timeout just a little shorter than your disconnect timeout to check playing status and determine whether auto log off should be initiated.

Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh Looks like some apps, including my email program (I guess messaging is using some other background processing mechanism) can be configured to periodically refresh. It seems that the BBO app isn’t registered to offer that option — it’s not on the list.

I’ve never written iOS code, so I had no idea that it might not support running background processes. That’s a very strange limitation for an OS. Apps like messaging and email (which receive when they are not in the foreground) must also be handled as special cases then.

When logged in to BBO using the phone app (iOS in my case), temporarily switching to another app (to quickly respond to an important text msg, for example) causes the BBO app to log me off. That is very annoying. Switching apps should not cause BBO to log off. Please fix. If your concern is responsiveness, then could you at least limit auto-logoff to when I am actively playing at a table (not when I’m dummy, kibitzing, or not even at a table)?

Could you please remove bidding tables with 2 "can't join" seats from the web interface "Open Tables" view? Those tables are not open.
