Only happens on iOS 13 (including 13.2 beta). Expected Behaviour: Sound should continue with the app in background as it did on iOS 12 and older Sample app reproducing the issue: https://github.com/jcesarmobile/background-audio-bug (note that the app has background mode enabled for audio and still doesn't prevent from pausing the audio) 1582875 1 webkit-bug-importer 2019-10-23 10:45:26 -0700 <rdar://problem/56544807> 1594162 2 trent 2019-11-29 02:42:10 -0800 It appears that this is due to web audio from the wkwebview not having the same entitlement that safari has for background keeping background proccesses open. 1622574 3 mbalyaba 2020-02-25 05:08:35 -0800 Hello Trent Brown! Do you mean that it is not an issue ? 1625595 4 protean 2020-03-04 10:07:39 -0800 Can someone please acknowledge this? It's a new bug, as far as I am aware, introduced with iOS 13 (or possibly more specifically 13.2) and is impacting countless applications and developers worldwide, myself included. Prior to this bug, audio playing on a page viewed in webkit worked perfectly fine, even after backgrounding the app or putting the phone to sleep. We have a significant amount of content that is nearly unusable as a result of this bug. 1641986 5 joshterry55 2020-04-15 14:23:16 -0700 I am having this issue as well, is there any fix coming soon? 1653636 6 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-05-18 09:28:20 -0700 Any news in this issue? It affects ALL hybrid apps that play sounds in background in IOS environment. 1656019 7 timothy 2020-05-26 06:42:04 -0700 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205687 *** 1656032 8 joshterry55 2020-05-26 07:50:35 -0700 (In reply to Timothy Hatcher from comment #7) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205687 *** I see this has been marked duplicate and resolved.

Did you verify this actually fixed this particular issue? 1658109 10 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-01 16:45:05 -0700 In which version of iOS it will be available? 1658295 11 joshterry55 2020-06-02 07:52:49 -0700 Yes it would be very helpful to know which version of iOS this bug will be fixed on. Our entire WKWebview app audio has not worked in months. Thank you 1658429 12 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-02 13:29:17 -0700 Because of duplicated ticket related to this bug is resolved and released in iOS 13.5.1, this bug is fixed in iOS 13.5.1? 1658583 13 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-02 19:39:39 -0700 Please, can you reopen this bug? It was not fixed in iOS 13.5.1. 1658593 14 cdumez 2020-06-02 20:31:43 -0700 (In reply to Pedro Furtado from comment #13) > Please, can you reopen this bug? It was not fixed in iOS 13.5.1. Did you validate that it was indeed not fixed in iOS 13.5.1. If so I will happily un-dupe. 1658594 15 cdumez 2020-06-02 20:32:41 -0700 Reopening this the duping was wrong. 1658684 16 protean 2020-06-03 07:17:49 -0700 Can someone please prioritize this bug? I think the flurry of activity around this and the bug that this was (briefly) marked as a dupe of should be indicative of how many people are eager for this to be fixed. This appears to have been a problem for over a year at this point (per this bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198277). 1658694 17 jon 2020-06-03 08:16:06 -0700 I just want to add my voice others asking that this bug be treated as high priority. 1658712 18 joshterry55 2020-06-03 08:59:05 -0700 ^^^ I too would love to see this as a priority. I appreciate the help on this issue and hope we can resolve soon :) 1659593 19 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-05 08:24:32 -0700 Let's wait an official declaration of maintainers ... 1660609 20 bernardo.oliveira 2020-06-09 01:05:44 -0700 Here I'm using the iOS 13.5.1 and audio still stops playing when a standalone web app is no longer in the foreground or in lock screen. 1661743 21 cdumez 2020-06-11 14:37:58 -0700 We are actively working on this. The reason you are not seeing activity on this bug is because the fixes are not in WebKit but rather in other components of the system. We will comment here when we have this fully fixed. 1661825 22 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-11 19:33:24 -0700 Thank you so much for this feedback! We are looking forward to a release asap with this bugfix. Many apps that my company develops does not work properly for months. But we are happy to see this bug is now a high priority. Thanks again! 1664736 23 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-20 08:34:47 -0700 Is there some news available for us? 1664740 24 cdumez 2020-06-20 09:47:01 -0700 (In reply to Pedro Furtado from comment #23) > Is there some news available for us? The news I have is that we have a complete fix and the corresponding radar has been marked as fixed. I have also validated that the fix is working. However, I am unable to comment on when the fix will ship. I will try and remember to update this bug when it does ship though. 1664741 25 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-20 10:17:10 -0700 Oh, that is a great, very great news! Thanks for feedback! Well, now we just have to wait a release with this fix asap, but knowing that is already fixed is a very good news! 1664762 26 jon 2020-06-20 12:03:27 -0700 Great news, that there is a fix! I eagerly await more information about when it will be deployed. 1664946 27 adel.abdelli.aa 2020-06-22 00:09:16 -0700 Hello, Do you know approximately when the fix will be released ? This bug is very problematic because our applications do not work anymore on IOS and we have a lot of pressure from our company. Please let inform us .. 1664950 28 mbalyaba 2020-06-22 00:35:56 -0700 Looks like issue is fixed after latest iOS update. Tested on iphone xr ios 13.5.1 1664980 29 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-22 03:28:29 -0700 Negative. iOS 13.5.1 without this fix there. That's why we are waiting a release ... 1664982 30 mbalyaba 2020-06-22 03:42:02 -0700 We are tested cordova ionic 4 app, with <audio> tag. Before it stops after 30sec app in background. Now all is fine (tested by different users and devices). Do you set background audio setting ? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/media_assets_playback_and_editing/creating_a_basic_video_player_ios_and_tvos/enabling_background_audio 1664983 31 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-06-22 03:44:53 -0700 Oh Yeah. But if the audio pause because of internet lack, or anything else, it not allow play again. In that case, only with the app in foreground is possible. So, bugfix is not released yet. But we are happy to see this released asap. 1670628 32 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-07-10 15:55:36 -0700 IOS 14 will have this bugfix? Please, say yes kkkkkk 1670633 33 cdumez 2020-07-10 16:02:53 -0700 (In reply to Pedro Furtado from comment #32) > IOS 14 will have this bugfix?

Thanks guys. 1679968 35 pedro.felipe.azevedo.furtado 2020-08-13 06:55:15 -0700 The bugs still happens in ios 14 beta. Oh god! Can you guys reopen the bug, please? 1681964 36 juliosincesar 2020-08-21 07:18:34 -0700 The issue I reported is fixed, I've tested on iPadOS 14 beta 4 and beta 5, and verified that works on both. So if you are facing a similar problem, better report a new issue. You can try the sample app I provided to reproduce the issue, just updated the audio file because the link I used was down. https://github.com/jcesarmobile/background-audio-bug 1690355 37 ch235 2020-09-21 11:07:44 -0700 I confirm that this bug is fixed in iOS 14.0.
