Toggling Privacy settings will kill the app

the OS sends a SIGKILL which is not a crash – Apple session on privacy in iOS6 says:

  • If permissions changes, app is quit.
  • Background task expiration handler is called, if registered
  • iOS then kills the application.

WWDC 2012 Session Videos: Privacy Support in iOS and OS X

Expiration handler: beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler

There is no way around this I can see.
