Backendless is setting AVAudioSession on init

I have an app that allows users to continue listen to the background audio from other apps, ie music apps. I have backendless initialized in my app delegate so now whenever my app is launched, it hijacks the audio focus and stops the background audio playback. I’m not integrating a media streamer from backendless or anything at all really, just using it for some simple config params. Even if I were to use the media streaming capabilities, I’d still expect to have full control over the audio focus.

Hi Allen,

To what extend do you use the backendless API then? Could you please identify the APIs used? Anything from backendless.media?

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the quick response. Turned out to be a false alarm. It was Admob’s interstitials that were hijacking the audio session on load. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks
