I think audio recording is one of the few things you're allowed to do in the background. I didn't do anything special. Did they give you any specific reasons?

- marpalmin 13y agoThis was the message after the appeal: "We still found the app is inappropriately using background audio because it is recording audio in the background for an indefinite period of time, which is not appropriate."
- alexvr 13y agoMaybe they don't think it's necessary or appropriate to what you're doing with the sound?
- simias 13y agoMaybe marpalmin was recording and storing big audio files, which might be a privacy issue I assume (if the user forgets the app is running in the background and ends up recording sensitive/private info). On the other hand I assume that you don't need to keep long audio samples to run your alarm-recognition algorithm and just discard the audio almost right away. That's just a wild guess of course, it would just seem reasonable to me if the Apple reviewers saw it that way.
- marpalmin 13y agoI'm not storing audio. Just audio analysis, of course I have a small buffer but that's normal for realtime audio anaylsis. I'm using it to detect footsteps.
- cdcarter 13y agoLikely that the use case for this app includes it being plugged in/charging.
- marpalmin 13y agoWell at least is not the idea to use it being plugged. In fact I even added code so that the app leaves background after 1 hr if it did not go to the foreground in between. I also found other people with the app being rejected for the same reason after asking about it in the apple dev forum.

- WiseWeasel 13y agoMaybe they want you to use the motion sensor for that.
