Nothing to do with audio but.....
My first customer wanted the app to suspend in iOS like Android did by default.
Android will keep an app running until? It seems that the Android app will keep
running until the OS needs to dump it for memory reclamation? I have not done
timing test to see if it a fixed amount of time will also dump the app. Android
leaves the app running at least long enough the user can answer a call or read
email and return to a running app. That being said I have used the iOS plist
hack in all my apps in the iStore store since 2012. I have not gotten any blow
back from Apple (for a host of other things but not the plist hack). All I do
is delete:
<key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key>
${APPLICATION_EXITS_ON_SUSPEND}

Replace this:
<key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key>
${APPLICATION_EXITS_ON_SUSPEND}
With this:
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>audio</string>
</array>
in the Settings.plist files at:
/Applications/LiveCode <whatever
version>.app/Contents/Tools/Runtime/iOS/<all versions of the OS on devices and
the simulator>
As noted you have to change the Settings.plist files for each version of iOS
your app supports, and for both the device and simulator versions.
I haven’t tried this past LC version 6.7.7 so I can’t be held responsible for
any harm it may cause you :)
BTW to also get location services working in the background you’d add:
<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>location</string>
</array>
You can have one or both audio and location services set to run in the
background in the same app but Apple will smack your bottom if you have them in
your plist but don’t use them in your app i.e. you might be tempted to just
have them in there to make your app suspend rather than quit when the home
button is pressed - don’t!
And I might have missed something (not doing any development right now) but
will proper background operation EVER be available for LC iOS apps??? Have we
heard anything from the mothership?
