Hello,

I have an application for iPad. I use short sounds in it for the buttons in my UI.

Unfortunately when I start my application the background music in the audio player stops immediately.

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? I don't want to stop the user's audio player but in the same time I want my sounds.

Thank you in advance.

With AIR 2.7 on iOS, there is no way to prevent the background audio from being silenced.

However the sound will be stopped only when you actually play any music in the AIR app and not at the launch time.

AIR 3.0 Beta release notes:

iOS Background Audio Playback Support — Developers can now write multitasking iOS applications that can play audio while in the background, including music or voice chat from a conferencing application.

has anyone actually implemented it?

Hi,

You don’t need a new API to use the feature. If you want to support background audio playback, you need to specify it the the iPhone section of application xml:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>audio</string>
</array>

Thanks,
Sanika
