Hmm.. I just tested this. I changed the Session Timeout to "Logout on exit", and once I exitted the app my friend told me I was logged out. So I guess you have to be logged on onto Beejive in order to let the push notification work properly. Does anyone know if changing the Session Timeout to say 12 hr or 24 hr will eat up a lot of battery life even if you exit the app? Thanks.
the session timeout just shows how long the beejive servers will keep you connected, but it's not something running on your iphone, so it doesn't affect your battery. just put this to 24hrs, as long as you open the app once every day you will always be online and ready to receive push
