It is very likely that Skype is detecting the ungraceful exit (from the termination) upon subsequent relaunch as opposed to catching the termination event itself. (One could easily write something to NSUserDefaults which says that it exited gracefully, and then clear it upon relaunch; if the flag isn't present when the app is launched it does something different upon relaunch) cheers, - j
