This tells iOS that you want to be able to continue processing even if your app gets put in the background. It does not create a new … Read more

Well I found the answer thanks to someone from the Developer Forums, and you guys aren’t gonna like it! I’ve had a response from Apple on this. They’ve said they don’t and never have provided a method for detecting hardware mute switch and don’t intend to do so. 🙁 IMO there is definitely value in … Read more

It’s not advisable, but who am I to say you can’t do it. You may have a good reason to be playing sound. If you are using Audio Sessions, then include <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h> at the start of your file and [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: nil]; should do the trick. Note if you play music or … Read more
