I'm trying to use this one also when app is on background, Tried to add that in capabilities -> background -> play audio. And also checked that the plist have this line.

But that doesn't work. What am I missing? Can I only play regular audio?

  1. Add on target's info.plist the key "Required background modes" to "App plays audio or streams audio/video using AirPlay".

  2. Configure the audio session in your AppDelegate:

    NSError *error = NULL;
AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
[session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&error];
if(error) {
    // Do some error handling
}
[session setActive:YES error:&error];
if (error) {
    // Do some error handling
}

    Don't forget to import AVFoundation.h
