@abdelhamidTsouli did you find any solution for this issue?
Even I am facing the same issue in my app.

Has someone found the solution? I have the same issue.

Anyone please? Just installing the base plugin, like the original post explain, cause the issue. It works just fine in android but in ios there is no error, the debugger stop at "int retval = uiapplicationMain(argc,argv,nil,@"AppDelegate"); Thread 1 : signal SIGABRT" and there is nothing we can do.

Please tell us if you found a solution!

Alright guys, this is what you need to do. Open up xcode (Or your editor of choice), and search for
"_requiresUserActionForMediaPlayback" (No quotes)

Replace that string with "requiresUserActionForMediaPlayback"

This is an issue that was fixed on the latest git repo, but for some reason has not made itself to npm.

You can also pull it directly from the repo, but for some reason I still can’t play my media on background. It plays, but it lags and kind of loops every 2 seconds and then continues.

This worked for ios under 12.
It comes back again when I tried to install on IOS 12.2. Please give me a solution. Thanks.

+1 for the crash on 12.2 from the example of @luatvudinh
Also i think it caused some damage on latest android version, but this is not confirmed

Try in file src\ios\APPBackgroundMode.m replace following lines

• (NSString*) wkProperty
  {
  NSString* str = @"X2Fsd2F5c1J1bnNBdEZvcmVncm91bmRQcmlvcml0eQ==";
  NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:str options:0];

  return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
  }
  with

• (NSString*) wkProperty
  {
  NSString* str = @"YWx3YXlzUnVuc0F0Rm9yZWdyb3VuZFByaW9yaXR5";
  NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:str options:0];

  return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
  }

remove and add the platform again

@rodrigoti Thanks, it works!

@rodrigoti not working for me sir..

@rodrigoti não está funcionando para mim senhor ..

try to change directly in the file inside the ios platform:

platforms/ios/project/Plugins/cordova-plugin-background-mode/APPBackgroundMode.m

(NSString*) wkProperty
{
NSString* str = @"X2Fsd2F5c1J1bnNBdEZvcmVncm91bmRQcmlvcml0eQ==";
NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:str options:0];

return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}
with

(NSString*) wkProperty
{
NSString* str = @"YWx3YXlzUnVuc0F0Rm9yZWdyb3VuZFByaW9yaXR5";
NSData* data = [[NSData alloc] initWithBase64EncodedString:str options:0];

return [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}

remember that requiresUserActionForMediaPlayback must be without (_)
_requiresUserActionForMediaPlayback, if downloaded by github, should already be correct UserActionForMediaPlayback ...

Sorry for my english, I'm not native, I'm from Brazil.

use following commands to fix that issue :

ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-background-mode
ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/iowayankee/cordova-plugin-background-mode.git
