Question

Explain the common execution states for a swift iOS App (iOS Application Lifecycle).

Answer 1

The 5 common execution states are as follows:

• Not Running: This is a simple state in which our app is not launched or no code is being executed and terminated by the system and the application is completely switched off.
• Inactive: This state is just a transitional state. Inactive state means our application is running in the background but is not able to receive events.
• Active: Active state is the main execution state, where our app is running in the background and is able to receive events.
• Background: This is the state where our App is running in the background and still is able to execute the code in the background.
• Suspended: This state means that our app running is in the background state and the system suspends this app and the application cannot execute any code.
