I have an app that uses background audio recording. From what others say, I have enabled the audio background mode to keep the audio session active, and this worked. But when submitting the app to the app store, the app was rejected because the audio background mode is only supposed to be used for audio playback.

How do I create this background mode while following Apple's guidelines?

I have some general advice on this topic in iOS Background Execution Limits. I recommend that you read this through and then come back here if you have specific follow-up questions.

I don't think there is a workaround. They tell you when you are allowed to use the background mode.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-background-execution-modes

If you use the background mode for a different purpose, it seems that you violate the Guideline 2.5.4. Also, if you make an audio recording without user's consent, you may violate Guideline 2.5.14.
