[jira] [Closed] (CB-12422) Media does not play when the App is in the background on iOS

["jcesarmobile (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

jcesarmobile closed CB-12422.

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: jcesarmobile

iOS doesn't allow background audio unless you enable it on the info.plist file

There are 3rd party plugins to enable background audio or write into the info.plist. You can also use a hook to write into the info.plist.

But the media plugin will not add this functionality, so closing as won't fix

> While trying to trigger a sound to play in the App (running in the background or screen locked) via a button press on an external bluetooth device, I receive the error:
> _"message":"","code":4_
> I've also tried creating a new blank app and wrapping the play method in a timeout so that it triggers a short while after I lock the screen or minimise the App. I do not hear a sound until I reopen the App and I don't get any errors in console this way.
> I have set the _playAudioWhenScreenIsLocked_ option to true, despite this being true by default.
