UIBackgroundModes audio does not work on iOS 11 developer beta 7

UIBackgroundModes audio does not work on iOS 11 developer beta 7.


When I move our video streaming app to the background with UIBackgroundModes set to audio, audio keeps playing with iOS 9/10 devices, but not with iOS 11 developer beta 7. Is this a bug? Is it known?


BTW, the problem occurs on a iPhone 6 Plus. I have tried uninstalling the app, restarting, then reinstalling but it didn't help.

Did you ever figure this out? I have an issue like this in the released iOS11..

I'm seeing this exact same issue. When targeting iOS 10 and lower, background playing works as expected. In iOS 11 and 11.0.1, audio stops when the app is backgrounded. It seems that the app is completely suspended the moment it goes into background. Is this a bug or do we need to update our implementations?


Update: After finding this - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46601068/backgound-audio-not-working-in-ios10-ios11-on-simulator/46662174 - I can confirm that (for me) this issue only exists in simulator. Background audio works as expected on actual devices running iOS 11.

I also have the exact same issue!!

If you press the lock button at the exact timing as when the song is being switched, the app becomes completely suspended and the audio stops.

I could easily reproduce the case with Phone X (11.0.1) and iPhone7(11.1). (The actual devices, not simulators)

Anyone have the same problem with pysical devices?
