@ccc I'm presuming you mean in such a way as using something like VNC on the iPhone to connect to the Pi and trigger the python script on the Pi which is connected to the home network?

Running simple script in background
I'm trying to execute a simple script in Python via my iPhone in order to keep alive a Buffalo NAS drive by sending a magic packet every 3 minutes. The script works well as long as I have the Python app open in the foreground but as soon as it moves to the background it looks like it stops executing and the NAS turns off.
Is this a limitation of iOS rather than the python app(s) I'm using? Running on android via QPython in the background seems to work well
