Multitasking background audio

[viezel]

Hi..

I want to implement The new background in my radio streaming app As explained in https://developer.apple.com/iphone/l...007072-CH5-SW4

I dont get how the backgroundmodes work in the Info.plist. Have any of you worked with tje new functionality and could show a simple example of how to enable this?

Cheers

The documentation says:

Playing Background Audio
Applications that play audio can continue playing that audio while in the background. To indicate that your application plays background audio, include the UIBackgroundModes key to its Info.plist file. The value for this key is an array containing the audio string. When this key is present, the system’s audio frameworks automatically prevent your application from being suspended when it moves to the background. Your application continues to run in the background as long as it is playing audio. However, if this key is not present when the application moves to the background, or if your application stops playing audio while in the background, your application is suspended.


Could anyone help me explaining how to do this?

Hello, you found a solution?, I am currently doing a similar app and going to implement multi-tasking did not work, I think the reason is the framework that was used (avmediaplayer) for playing audio from a streaming url, I seen the possibility of using another framework for this purpose AvAudioPlayer which I think if it works properly with the audio service for multitasking but does not play streaming only plays local files. If you solved it please let me indicate how and if possible with an example.

Just look up into your Info.plist and click the + button, search for the UIBackgroundModes and write "audio" on the right side of the key
