Hi, look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38690103/cordova-sounds-stop-background-music Is it fix for that?

[jagan27101986]

I resolved the issue by adding the following code [session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:NULL]; in - (void) configureAudioSession method. Everthing works as expected.

@katzer - Could you please update in the file; so everytime i dont have have to copy and paste it.

I have a same problem. I tried your solution but it does not work for me. Which file did you modify?

[jagan27101986]

FileName - APPBackgroundMode.m Copy and paste this method /**

• Configure the audio session. */

• (void) configureAudioSession { AVAudioSession* session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];

  // Don't activate the audio session yet [session setActive:NO error:NULL];

  // Play music even in background and dont stop playing music // even another app starts playing sound [session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:NULL];

  [session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:NULL];

  // Active the audio session [session setActive:YES error:NULL]; };

FileName - APPBackgroundMode.m Copie e cole este método / **

• Configure a sessão de áudio.

  • /

• (vazio) configureAudioSession { AVAudioSession * session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance]; // Não ative a sessão de áudio ainda [session setActive: NO error: NULL]; // Toca música mesmo em segundo plano e não para de tocar // outro aplicativo começa a reproduzir som [session setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: NULL]; [sessão setCategory: erro AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient : NULL]; // Ativa a sessão de áudio [session setActive: YES error: NULL]; };

@jagan27101986 do you use cordova-music-controls? How do you control the media you're playing? ios overwrites the media controls automatically, i have been struggling for weeks...

[jagan27101986]

The solution is only about when opening the application, the music player or any third party application stops playing the file. However, this has nothing to do with music controls.

@katzer - Could you please add the line [session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient error:NULL]; and update the git hub repo ?

i think this Plugin is not maintained anymore, so i decided to create a new one and fix this Issue. It also has a Ionic Wrapper, so go ahead and use this: https://github.com/HansKrywaa/cordova-plugin-advanced-background-mode
