Spotify Stops when I open my react native app

Question

When I first open my app Spotify music stops after that when I go back and turn on the music and come back to the my app, it works fine. I am using react-native video library for Splash screen and video doesn't have audio and also muted by component props. Is there any way to keep music alive when I open my app?

Answer 1

Recently i face this problem,

i think you are using

1. react-native-video
2. react-native-camera

These 2 libraries pause the playback music

so you need to follow these steps to resolve this problem,

react-native-video

ignoreSilentSwitch Controls the iOS silent switch behavior

1. ignoreSilentSwitch: "obey" - Don't play audio if the silent switch is set

2. mixWithOthers: "mix" - Audio from this video mixes with audio from other apps.

code Snippet:

 <Video 
   ....
    ignoreSilentSwitch="obey"
    mixWithOthers={'mix'}
   ....
 />

react-native-camera

 <RNCamera
   .....
    captureAudio={false}
   .....

 />
