Since version 2+ is not maintained, could you also try our recent version which currently is 3.0.9?

I would really like to know if anyone got this to work. I want to record audio 24/7 and stream the recording to an api without having the app open (personal research project). Please email me at cfa AT karsens.com

Doesn't need to be Android + iOS but preferably iOS. Android is also fine if iOS doesn't work.

Any news on this ?

Ok, if someone still has this issue, I figured out for iOS that you simply have to add :

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

In your Info.plist file. By doing this, the recording should continue if the app goes in background.
