Hi, First of all thanks for creating such an awesome library to work with beacons.Can you tell me of any way where the application can restart itself in the background once a user swipes it off from the background,I need to keep the application working. Thanks :)

I have been wrestling with this and it seems that one would have to modify the App Delegate in order to have iOS invoke the app on region status events: http://stackoverflow.com/a/22515773/693279

I reported the issue here: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TC-4463

UPDATE: I made a kludge that gets events working when the app isn't running. Please help me test ver0.9!

I will! Will all events work in the background now?

Call startMonitoringForRegion() with your region uuid. Then iOS will start your app when it sees a beacon and deliver the "enteredRegion" event. Your app will run for a short amount of time that you can use to begin ranging beacons, schedule a local notification, hit a server, whatever you want to do...
