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
