Backgrounding music on iOS and Android?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,

We are building up a music player app with Corona SDK.

I’ve did a research but yet can’t find any support for continuing play music outside of the app.

(ex: suspended, locked, navigate to other apps.)

Corona states backgrounding audio is not supported for now. Is that right?

Although adding plist 

UIBackgroundModes = { "audio", },

can enable audio to play audio to the end on iOS, it is not working on Android.

Also it lacks the ability to jump to next/previous song, pause/play…etc.

We are just wondering if backgrounding music support coming to the nearly future?

Is there any way to further working on this feature?

Will Enterprise account or Pro account help?

Thank you.

There might be some flexibility with Enterprise.  The problem is that Corona SDK’s UI expects to be in the foreground.  Any parts of your app that updates any Lua code can’t work while backgrounded.  We have no plans to change this.

Thanks for the replying.

If that’s the case, will we be able to sign up a test Enterprise account to make

sure if we can further add the feature, before we decide to develop with Corona platform?

Thank you.

Curious - have you proceeded with using Corona Enterprise for this?

How would you do this with entreprise?
