Loading apps while iPhone starts up (boots) or aft

Question

For non-jailbreak iPhones, is there a way to let your program load when the phone starts? And is there a way to schedule application startup at specific times?

Answer 1

Nope, thats not possible. The only thing that might help you to launch an application at a specific time is a UILocalNotification but it only allows fixed times and not relative ones like "two seconds after XY" and it isn't guaranteed to really start the app because it depends on user input.
