Is there a way to block apps temporarily?

Can I block apps during certain hours?

Question: ?

And should I? You're here, of course, because you think your teenager is sneaking out of the house to buy booze and drugs. "My daughter does this!" you tell me. "I think she's sneaking out at night! She doesn't come home when it's light out, and she doesn't like it when I check her phone to see who she's communicating with while I'm in the house."

But as you look over her mobile device, a little voice inside of you says, "Oh, what are you saying? I mean, this could be an innocent misunderstanding!". Right. Maybe her friends are texting or Facebooking because they went to bed early. If they were up when you were asleep, don't you think they'd ask her why she didn't come home?

Or maybe the truth is that your daughter is selling illegal drugs. "But my daughter doesn't do drugs! She's never been in trouble! Well, your daughter is definitely a minor. So it's possible that your daughter's friends are buying illegal drugs and giving them to her. Or that your daughter herself is an addict and sells them to help support her drug habit.

The fact is, if a kid is selling drugs or going to sleepovers while your teen is out of the house, it could be too late to stop her now. For teens whose brains aren't completely developed yet, being away from home, especially in the middle of the night, can give you lots of excuses to say you missed signs and signals that your daughter was sneaking out.

Your job is to find out if your teen is a drug dealer and a thief. If you know that she's stealing your things, then it's time to report her to the police.

If you think you've caught her stealing money or her parents' credit cards, then you're right on track. Even though she may think the items are rightfully hers, unless the items belong to her grandpa or her mother, we need you to report her crimes.

Once you catch your daughter using drugs or selling drugs, however, you're at a disadvantage because all that she has on her mobile device is going to be evidence in a court of law. Here's the situation.

How do I block an app without deleting it?

I have an app that sends out a "kill" message to a group of apps.

The message is sent with a time-limited link, so that the app is sure to receive it. I've done this before, but now that I'm trying to do it in the app's own way, I've run into a problem. I want to "block" the app from receiving the message, but without actually deleting it. It's only a temporary solution, but at least I can still use the app for other things while I work on a fix. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance! Use UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend. Set it to YES when you are ready to kill the app (by the way, there is no need to send the message since the user will be prompted to re-launch the app).

When you are ready to kill the app, it will be put in the background by the system. But your app will not get a call to applicationWillResignActive:. It will be considered as terminated.

So when you are ready to kill the app, stop using background services, unregister for remote notification and call UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend. Edit. You have to unregister for remote notification to prevent your app from receiving the remote notification. If you unregister for remote notification, it will force your app into background (it will not be terminated). So you should unregister for remote notification in your code, not in the Info.plist file.
