Even when it's implemented to the fullest extent iOS allows, there are only a relative handful of things the API allows a process to do in the background.
What are you hoping to be able to do?

I was hoping to be able to come back to my app without having to re-start it as if I was starting for the first time. Such as, log into my profile...
do you think this will be possible?

I believe Internet connections cannot be maintained in the background with the current limitations of iOS, so another approach might be to store relevant settings on close and restore them on open.
