I think the example 2 from https://paulbakaus.com/tutorials/html5/web-audio-on-ios/#How_do_I_know_when_my_context_is_unlocked should be usable with fair ease, e.g. via a --pre-js, or via using the emscripten/html5.h event handler registration functions. Would that work?
This could be done as a runDependency (add/removeRunDependency() functions) to create that kind of "tap to play" type of launcher, which user would need to tap on to make the Emscripten main() actually run. (or if you have another location after main() but before the render loop, that might be a suitable place as well) 2016-12-06 15:16 GMT+02:00 Floh <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > on iOS Safari since iOS9, WebAudio will only work if 'unlocked' from an > input event handler connected to a touch input event.
