Does an iOS app which declares using background audio run indefinitely? Or, is its lifecycle tied to AVAudioSession being active? Or, is it tied to audio playback being active?
I want to know what happens when you stop audio in a background app. Is the app then eligible for termination?
I'm only interested in iOS 8 and 9.
Apple docs are saying:
When the UIBackgroundModes key contains the audio value, the system’s media frameworks automatically prevent the corresponding app from being suspended when it moves to the background. As long as it is playing audio or video content or recording audio content, the app continues to run in the background. However, if recording or playback stops, the system suspends the app.
