---------------------------------
Summary: iOS media play does not work in background
Key: CB-7214
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7214
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS, Plugin Media
Affects Versions: 3.5.0
Environment: iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2, xCode 5.1
Reporter: David Peacock
It does not look like mediaObj.play() works on iOS in the background.
Additionally I tried with mediaObj.play({playAudioWhenScreenIsLocked : true});
but this did not change the behavior. Running mediaObj.play() with the
application in the foreground works as expected. I also have Background Modes
'Audio and AirPlay' enabled (note I tested notifications beep/vibrate in the
background with success).
Tracking the issue, it looks like the error occurs in CDVSound.m in function
prepareToPlay on the line:
bError = ![audioFile.player prepareToPlay];
This sets error to YES. This is before the check of whether the audio should
play when the screen is locked. On the console I receive the error:
Play sound failed!
