That's not allowed on the app store (Apple will reject apps that abuse this without a legitimate reason, and a terminal app has no business playing background audio or abusing location services). Also, the audio background mode is particularly bad for user experience, as it does not allow you to play real audio, because in toyOS land, only one process can play audio. Yes, this is the state of iOS in 2023. Garbage.
- urbandw311er 3y agoNot true if I recall correctly, since around iOS 4 multiple processes can play audio simultaneously- it is only if a process requests exclusivity that playback from other backgrounded apps is stopped.
- LeoNatan25 3y agoA foreground app can play additional audio if it does not require system support (such as controlling the playback from a Bluetooth headset and appearing in the now playing widget/dynamic island). But only one process can play continuous audio in the background. You cannot have Safari play a video and also listen to an audiobook. “wHy WoULd YoU wAnT tO Do tHaT aNyWaY¿” -typical Apple fanboy response
