Always on
Hey!
I love your app and where it is heading! A merge with Gibberbot, Cryptocat and all desktop jabber apps would be great.
But even better still would be a replacement for the horribly privacy-invasive WhatsApp.
For that tough there has to be a way for the app to be always on, or able to receive messages offline. Of course without draining the battery too much :-)
Also I kinda like OneTeams take one a jabber app for iOS; it just lacks OTR... but maybe you can take some ideas from them; the ability to join chatrooms for instance...
Keep up the good work!

As dosch asks, I'm also wondering how Whatsapp does it.
I got a friend with iOS to setup Chatsecure and we were happy to have it as an alternative to texting, for privacy. But since Chatsecure always logs out and can't notify him when he's received a message, beyond the 10 min default, it really is not very useful.

RE: "Remote notifications (we're looking into using this for a push service)"
Apple Push Notifications is an interesting work-around. How is that Skype can stay auto-logged in? -

Yes, we would all LOVE to have ChatSecure for iOS maintain it's connection and not log you off after a period of time. Any solutions?

This app is great. Only major feature I'd love to see is to have the application run continuously in the background.

This is a great app, but like previous users says, it is freakin annoying to log back on every 10 mins. Figure it out how to continue please. Thx!

Please remove disconnect timeout or add option to increase the length

The reason Skype can stay running in the background is because they're a VoIP app. We are not a VoIP app and therefore don't have privileges necessary to continue running the background

So how do WhatsApp and OneTeam do this then?

Dear David,
Great work, but I have a suggestion, because always on, is a must, certainly longer than 10min while in background.
We all know its possible, what about Skype? just one example of many that stay online even in background. If this is a requirement due to push notifications, I suggest dropping Apples push notifications - because these reveal your IP No and so approx. location - something I expect users of a secure chat app, would prefer to not have unnecessarily revealed.
And may I ask, are ones accounts logging details sent only to the server defined for the account or via some 3rd parties server, before being sent on to the accounts server?
Many thanks,
rains
