Hi folks,

I have an openGL game running on an iPod Touch. It's derived from an NSView (i.e. it's based on EAGLView) NOT NSViewController).

When I run my game, the iPhone never goes into sleep mode. Any clues as to what I might be missing? Rather naively, I thought the sleep thing just... happened. I don't believe I'm over-riding it... at least not intentionally.

Are you setting the application's disableIdleTimer to YES? Or playing music will prevent hard sleep from happening.

I don't believe I'm setting disableIdleTimer to Yes. I am using both the openAL library and openAL to play music and sound effects. Would either of those have an effect?

Thanks for the help.

See http://developer.apple.com/iphone/librar...ryPlayback. It discusses what types of audio sessions keep the iPod awake.

I've just found out what the problem was: rank stupidity on my part.

I've only just started deploying my apps to my iPhone and... uh...
...didn't realise that apps are *never* interrupted by sleep mode if you are debugging them.

I'm writing this out of scientific diligence, so that other newbies like myself will not suffer the same ignominy and humiliation.

I shall now flagellate myself with birch twigs while standing naked in a freezing lake.
