Keeping audio running when app goes into background

[ameetnsharma]

Hi. I’m trying to keep flite speaking when the app goes into the background. Right now the audio stops. In my info.plist, I’ve included audio as one of the required background modes.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response! Appreciate it!

Hmmm… in that thread, you mentioned keeping the current audio stream running, even if you can’t initiate a new stream. In my app, the current audio stream stops quickly after hitting the home button. Is there a way to allow the current stream to continue?

I’m surprised to hear that it’s possible and in the thread it’s actually the other developer who has a method, so I can’t really help with implementing his approach unfortunately.

No prob. Thanks again. I’ll try experimenting with it.

OK, good luck!

Just to update, I got it working. The reason it wasn’t working before was that I was editing the wrong info.plist (i was accidentally editing the test-info.plist file instead).

Setting audio as one of the required background modes looks like all that needs to be done. very nice.

Awesome, good to have the confirmation.
