Background Process
I really want to make SecureChat my go-to Android and iOS chat application, but I can't because of the 10 minutes background timeout on iOS.
Check out the Gliph app. Clearly not as secure as SecureChat since it has a proprietary protocol, but somehow (push notifications?) they are able to remain in the background of my iOS device indefinitely.
I know you are based on the FAQ entry, but please consider implementing a background/push feature in an upcoming version.

I only stay connected in the background for one minute, not ten. This makes using the app extremely inconvenient. Even 10-20 minutes' worth of background connection would help with missed messages.

Add secure VoIP - background refresh problem solved AND we get secure voice calls. Just do it!

ChatSecure stays in background for 1minute for me, then I get the 1minute warning message. Thats way too short...

Skype stays connected because it uses the voip backgrounding type. As for push notifications, with iOS 7 you can send silent push notifications to do trigger updates in the background. There is also the background fetch API, but its behavior is inconsistent.

Likewise.
We need to find a way to maintain the connection.Re: "Remote notifications (we're looking into using this for a push service)"
Apple Push Notification is an interesting work-around. How is that Skype can stay connected?? -
