I have a pause menu in my game that I want to toggle when the i hit my home button. it works when I'm within my game, however when I hit my home button the menu comes up, but the game will not pause.
when i restart the app, the menu is still there, but the game un-pauses itself. It seems like spritekit automatically pauses and restarts the game on its own when you leave and enter the app. When I'm within the app I have full control over it. But when I'm exiting/entering the app it behaves how it likes.
Any suggestions?
func applicationWillResignActive(application: UIApplication!) {
// get the root viewcontroller
// toggle my pausemenu method. pause menu sets skview.paused = true
}
