.plist alternative for setIdleTimer

Question

i'm looking for something similar to setIdleTimer but as a .plist value. I just want to keep my app active even if the user is not using it for a while. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Do you mean you want a way to set a custom value for the idle timer? — Fr4ncis, Nov 14 '13 at 10:40
I mean i want to set a value (which i dont know yet) within the .plist to let the screen stay not black. — Fry, Nov 14 '13 at 10:41

As far as I know the only way to keep your app active is by setting

@property(nonatomic,getter=isIdleTimerDisabled)       BOOL idleTimerDisabled;     // default is NO

for UIApplication, that is

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];

If you want to set a different time you can do an hack by keeping the app active, running your own timer and dimming the screen when needed, but I am not sure it is worth the effort.
