Hi !
I’m running my app under Ionic 5.4 + Vue and a custom audio player plugin in swift.
I’m using the swift capacitor plugin that allows the user to :
- Play, pause and seek the audio track (uses AVPlayer)
- Download an audio track
- Once downloaded, listen to the audio track in offline mode
My issue : In offline mode, the audio track will cut at a seemingly random time without errors.
It doesn’t matter if the track is very long or very short (heavy or lightweight) :
- For example a 58min-long track can cut at 6min or 20min in offline mode.
- A 5min-long track can sometimes cut at 52 seconds.
If you press the play button after that unexpected stop, the track will play again for a few minutes and stop again.
What’s even weirder is that when the phone is locked, the CommandCenter seekbar will continue to play even when the track has stopped in-app.
This only happens when emulating on a physical device but not on an Xcode Simulator.
Further information :
- In the config.xml file, the APPBackgroundMode is set to true
- In the Info.plist file, the UIBackgroundModes is enabled with the « audio » string
- ionic BackgroundMode plugin is enabled
Despite trying to catch an error in the swift custom plugin, no error is returned in Xcode when the track stops playing. I am running out of ideas on how to debug this since I can’t seem to get an error.
Do you have any idea to suggest to me to fix this problem ?
Thank you !
