[IOS] Player does not keep playing when phone is locked

[zPhoeniqz]

When a track is playing, it is automatically paused when the phone is locked (on IOS).

Add this to your App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist:

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
          <string>audio</string>
</array>

In addition, you need to set some specific configs in your player options:

this._playerOptions = {
            loop: false,
            //audioFile: ...
};


if(platform.isIOS) {
            //allow audio to continue on screen lock, app sent to background or silent switch
            this._playerOptions.sessionCategory = AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback;
            this._playerOptions.sessionMode = AVAudioSessionModeDefault;
            this._playerOptions.sessionRouteSharingPolicy = AVAudioSessionRouteSharingPolicy.Default;
}

player.initFromUrl(this._playerOptions).then(() => {
   //...
} (e) => {
            console.log(e);
});
