iOS Question How to add key add UIBackgroundModes to play music background

[tuhatinhvn]

I read about how to make an app to run in background
My app is play music, i use video view to play it (hide control)
But when user press home or screen is off , my app is pause

I read in apple and stack overflow about it, they say about UIBackgroundModes
I know it but can not know how to make it with b4I.
Any one can help me?
Thank you!

Once the project has been created go to File-Info.plist and addUIBackgroundModes as a new row. It should then create the array.

Open the array and to the right of Item 0 set it to audio. Your File-Info.plistshould look like this:

Now go to the target settings and go to the tab labeled Build Phases.

You can set this mode with #PlistExtra:

#PlistExtra: <key>UIBackgroundModes</key><array><string>audio</string></array>

Thank you for your reply, it is very goood, but with my project, i checked
UIBackgroundModes in project file is ok, use PlistExtra is ok

But with Video View (which object i use to play music online) when i press home or turn off screen , app is mute music

I upload my project here, can you see it for me, how to play when screen is off?

It is possible that setting the UIBackgroundMode is not enough here. Try to play a local file with MediaPlayer and see whether it works in the background.

I tried with media player and

#PlistExtra: <key>UIBackgroundModes</key><array><string>audio</string></array>

It play music ok
But when press home or screen turn off , music is pause

I think need some thing? Any one try it?
My project is below

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4i Example
    #Version: 1.0.0
   
    'Orientation possible values: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight and PortraitUpsideDown
    #iPhoneOrientations: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight
    #iPadOrientations: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight, PortraitUpsideDown
    #PlistExtra: <key>UIBackgroundModes</key><array><string>audio</string></array>

#End Region

........etc

b.Initialize(File.DirAssets,"1.mp3","b")
b.Play

.....etc

You probably need to configure an audio session. You can post a feature request in the wishlist forum for this.
