For slideshow, Powerpoint presentation, ring tone, videos, audio books, podcast or just for fun with your MP3 player, pc, laptop and PDA/tablet. Whether it’s double checking for bugs or treating your users with respect, it’s important to remember that a mobile device’s battery is a finite resource. All mp3 files with 128 kbps and 44 KHz stereo quality. For what it’s worth, I’ve heard that this was, as stated, a bug. Either way, attention was brought to it and it’s fixed now. I’m not gonna pass any judgments here - bugs happen all of the time and it’s not fun to get pilloried over a simple mistake. If you don’t believe him, it was a thing Facebook was doing to make their app work a way they wanted it to but Apple didn’t and they got caught. So if you believe Grant, this is a simple bug.

A popular storage company used it at one point to keep their app open to grab new photos to upload (before it switched to using ‘known locations’ to wake the app up).Īnd I’m aware of a bunch of other devs that have used the trick in one fashion or another to get their apps to do something Apple didn’t want them doing - things like leaving an app open constantly in the background to pre-load content or advertising, to upload or download files or the news feed or more auto-playing videos. Our fixes will solve this audio issue and remove background audio completely.įor context, using background audio (via the VoIP calling entitlement) to keep an app awake is an old standard in the app kludge world. The app isn’t actually doing anything while awake in the background, but it does use more battery simply by being awake. This is similar to when you close a music app and want to keep listening to the music while you do other things, except in this case it was unintentional and nothing kept playing.
If you leave the Facebook app after watching a video, the audio session sometimes stays open as if the app was playing audio silently. The second issue is with how we manage audio sessions. The version released today has some improvements that should start making this better. This repeated processing causes our app to use more battery than intended. A CPU spin is like a child in a car asking, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”with the question not resulting in any progress to reaching the destination. The first issue we found was a “CPU spin” in our network code.
