I want to play sound in background for a feature but I want to play sound only in foreground for another feature. Also, I want to play sound even when the silent switch is turned on.

To play sound in background, the following 2 code is needed:

  • [Info.plist] UIBackgroundModes = audio

  • AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, withOptions: [])

To play sound only in foreground, I think I have to set UIBackgroundModes to empty in the Info.plist. But it is not possible while the app is running.

How can I play sound only in foreground for a feature and sound in background for another feature?

* playing sound in foreground means that sound is paused when the user push the home button of the iPhone and it is resumed when the user open the app again.

Detect when the app goes into the background, and stop playing the foreground sound and switch to the background sound.
