Hi! My app is a simple webview pointing to a website with a web radio. It works flawlessly on Android, when I minimize the app the audio continues. But not on iOS. Is there a way of enabling background audio when minimizing apps on iOS? Thanks! ---

hello there, the Exactly same problem I am facing. It looks like some bug or configuration issue. Even on iOS sound component is not working for the streaming link(web radio link). Did you find the answer? if yes please share. ---

I have the same problem. It’s likely permission issues to play audio or video in webviewer. Will appropriate webviewer advanced settings do the magic? ---
