Hello,

I just wonder when the background audio playing feature will be implement?

I feel like it is important feature to develop or  nobody can develop music app for mobile with AIR.

How can I submit the feature?

Thanks

Hi Jamal,

be specific. What mobile OS? as that differs between platforms I believe.

For example on iOS that is not explicitely stated in Adobe's docs that one cannot use iOS SDK "audio" background mode addition to application descriptor iOS section:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>

<array>

    <string>audio</string>

</array>

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f7e64a7f12cd2dd1867-8000.html

so see e.g. that desperate post here:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/765913

The iOS settings of that type usually allows application that is entering background (e.g. via HOME button) to not be suspended immediately but let it to use given native audio framework (which one Adobe's is using I don't know)

If you have device to test go on (I cannot do that as my FB 4.5.1 trial expired),

regards,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I'm targeting IOS mobile.

I havn't found any solution in any forum subjects

So I suppose this is not supported feature yet.

The UIBackgroundMode doesn't work either, and I don't think it's supported.

The subject forum you gave me doesn't say how it works

Thanks again.

You should be able to achieve this in next major version of AIR release.

-Thanks
