iOS doesn't allow developer to create background services like in Android.

Check the belwo SO post that clearly state Only some of the Apple apps are allowed to do this

There is no way for the standard apple SDK program, but not sure about jailbreak phones. – Jhaliya - Praveen Sharma Jun 23 '11 at 07:04

Actually i want to capture screen all the time and save it to the photo album. Tried many things but nothing worked. I guess Apple sdk dont allow to run these kind of applications in background. – Prashant Jun 23 '11 at 09:28
at what frequency do you want to take the screenshots ? if it's one every minute, maybe local notifications can do the trick but if you want to make a movie, i can't see any way. – teriiehina Jun 23 '11 at 10:10
I want to take scrennshot every second.I made an application which does it but when i am trying to take it to background,it stops.I guess apple doesnt even allow to run our application in the background.What to do?? – Prashant Jun 24 '11 at 03:53
