@matrixreal can you test my Fork and check if this works for you? https://github.com/HansKrywaa/cordova-plugin-advanced-background-mode

@mknnaren The Function you mention there only works on Android.

Facing same issue.

Checking on:  iPhone XR / Ionic app having WKWebview /  iOS13.3

Tried with Both Methods to enable background mode and it never gets enabled.

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
// AND
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setEnabled(true);

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.isActive(); // => is never returning true, hence not working.

Any workaround to get this working ? Thanks!

In the APPBackgroundMode.m file

[session setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: NULL];

change to

[session setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback withOptions: AVAudioSessionCategoryOptionMixWithOthers error: NULL];

Got the same issue. Android is working fine but iOS never returned "true". Btw, I also added the permission to use background mode, background data processing in _info.plist

Same here. So this plugin is abandoned I presume?

I suspect the code is written only for playing audio. Not had worked for me too. Code owners can give more info on this but they seem to be silent from a very long.
