Hello All,

I noticed after trying to use the kde connect app with iOS it works pretty well when iphone is open. however, as soon as it locks/goes to sleep connectivity gets lost and you have to re-open app on phone, refresh on phone, and refresh on app on linux and then it reconnects. 
I know iphones tend to be finiky when it comes to permissions required for an app to continuously run in background/maintain connectivity to app. recieve sms and such. 

I know that iphones have various MDM options. A possible idea, if you guys haven't done so already. You may want to take a look at iphones MDM options to give your app the access it needs. So perhaps you can deploy your app on the phone, not as a connect app, but perhaps as a MDM agent, that connects to the linux device and you should be able to do much more with those options.
