title: Pedometer in the Background
body: <p>I know this has been asked 1 million times but it has been just impossible to figure it out for me.</p>
  
  <p>So I need to build a pedometer app and have it continuing counting steps event if they send the app to de background for more than 10 minutes.</p>
  
  <p>The client wants not use use GPS at all, an also not play a silent audio because Apple may reject it.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone one have and idea on how to do this?</p>
  
  <p>The client is taking Runtastic Pedometer app as Reference and I have been analysing it and it doesn't use nor Location, nor music and runs in the background for more than 10 minutes.</p>
  
  <p>Any clue? is it really imposible to do it this way? could be possible that Runtastic people made an agree with apple to use some secret API to have it running in the background?</p>
