I want to do something like getting an event when a user has pressed the power button 3 times within 5 or 10 seconds.

Think of this like an SOS / emergency call. If the user pressed 3 times power button then I want to trigger a sound or alarm from within the app.

Can anyone suggest an alternative option if this is not possible. Can we get an event call multiple times when the method applicationWillResignActive occurs?

Power button? Do you mean the [Side button](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203017)? – Joakim Danielson Feb 25 '19 at 09:56
