Playing audio files in background does not work
-
hi,
i'm trying to implement an audio player who plays music, even in background or when the device is turned off. I have tested all code examples from this thread, but no ones work. Immediately after clicking the home-Button or turning of the device the sound is fading out.
It seams to me, that Pythonista doesn't meet the requirements from Apple to play music in background .
Am i wrong? -
You're right, Pythonista cannot play audio in the background. I've tried to implement this once (and it was possible in some beta a while ago), but it was rejected by app review because Pythonista is not an "audio app".

Can Swift Playgrounds do it?!?

@ccc I don’t think so, not completely sure though.

@omz thank you for the fast reply. Though the answer is disappointing.
I completely disagree with Apples position.
Pythonista isn't a document scanner or calculator. No 2D-Game, no text writer etc. But it is an IDE. So it's all of them.
Apple, this is nonsense.I hope they will correct this mistake in the near future. Maybe this is one step towards that.

I really would like to have this functionality. Maybe including an example of this functionality with Pythonista would qualify it as an “audio app”?
