Interestingly it seems like Apple is doing something with remote view controllers with their 12 Days of Christmas app, which could imply they're trying to test it as much as possible in a live context.
I ended up coming down with a cold/flu bug so I was a bit useless and missed the opportunity. My quick notes on it basically go along the lines of:
- 12 Days App remains constant, no outward transition to other app, 12DA is last in tray, normal application switch over/switch back as seen with Facebook auth etc leaves app as 'used' in tray.
- Remote views seem to be getting called as downloads are instantly in store apps on that device, not globally on all devices that can pull them, writing off a trick with the 'download content' settings.
- Not web views as capable of accessing local stored credential for itunes account, unless apple has begun exposing that in some specific and bizarre way.
Wish I hadn't been sick, my plan was to watch the processes to see if they were running something like the mail composition one, or whether it was getting done like the Facebook one.
