iOS doesn’t play when app is in the background about react-native-sound-player HOT 7 CLOSED

I've faced this issue too. I could solve It by using SoundPlayer.setSpeaker(false).

To be able for an audio to be played in background the following category is needed to be setup. Which is done when you setSpeaker to false
[session setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: nil]
Also you need to enable the Background Mode on your capabilities to enable audio, airplay and picture in picture

@strawberry-code, I strongly recomend to use this one https://github.com/react-native-kit/react-native-track-player

from react-native-sound-player.

Hi @danias, thank you for using the package! I will consider adding background playing ability in the future, but for now, this library will stay simple. For the mean while, you may consider using a slightly more robust package https://github.com/react-native-kit/react-native-track-player.

Hi @danias, try use with this lib https://github.com/tanguyantoine/react-native-music-control and set your app the ability to run on background on Xcode

from react-native-sound-player.

Any news here? Is now this library capable of playing sounds in background?

@edferreira Can you share more on what all you did to make this library play in the background state of a react-native app?

@jenipharachel
Just call SoundPlayer.setSpeaker(false) before play sound in iOS.
