Question

Windows phone

The Windows phone app needs to run in the background.
Everything is done as it is written on msdn ( msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj66... ​​but the application still ends. Closing method is called, not RunningInBackground. I
also found information that in windows phone 8.1 applications in the background cannot work, but I'm testing on the eight.

Answer 1

Главное указывать в WMAppManifest.xml и приложение будет работать в фоне.

Answer 2

8.0 is the same. Applications cannot run. If necessary, you can hang part of the functionality on background tasks, but not all. Well, + remains a notification - if you need interaction with the user when the application is "minimized".
