Background staysActiveInBackground argument for Audio.setAudioModeAsync(mode) about playlist-example HOT 4 OPEN

Same issue here. Even when going to the control center on iOS, the video stops playing and onPlaybackStatusUpdate's status isPlaying becomes false.

Potentially you're missing this from your app.json (or app.config.js)

Well in my case the video pauses also (even when going into the Control Center on iOS), do you think it's linked to this?

Ah I missed that you mentioned video, I'm not sure if background video play is possible with expo-av. Only recently looked at getting audio files to work in the background and this was one of the things we had missing in our project

As an aside, we're already looking at an alternative package for audio due to a potential limitation: expo-av doesn't seem to expose/connect-to any native OS controls (e.g. control centre, lock screen) to show and control the currently playing media, which is a deal breaker for us
