Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

UIBackgroundModes and Audible Content

Hello fellow Devs,

My recent App got rejected by Apple for Two Times with a same issue and I don't know why it got rejected, and how to fix it.
Below is the Reason for Rejection,


============

2.16

We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

We noticed your app declares support for audio in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, but no audible content is played when the application is in the background. While your intention may have been to provide this functionality, at the time of review, we were not able to play background audio for your app.

As indicated in the iOS Application Programming Guide:

"This key is intended for use by applications that provide audible content to the user while in the background, such as music-player or streaming-audio applications."

Therefore, it would be appropriate to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.

For information on background modes, please refer to the section "Executing Code in the Background" in the iOS Reference Library.
For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. Please be sure to:

- include the complete details of your rejection issues
- prepare any symbolicated crash logs, screenshots, and steps to reproduce the issues for when the DTS engineer follows up.

For information on how to symbolicate and read a crash log, please see Tech Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing iPhone OS Application Crash Reports.

If you have difficulty reproducing this issue, please try testing the workflow as described in Testing Workflow with Xcode's Archive feature".

It says I need to provide audible content that plays when the app is in the background, and it DOES have one.

When an Alarm rings and the user presses the home button, the Alarm should still be ringing and that is why we implemented UIBackgroundMode inside the App.

I tried to contact apple via resolution center about this issue and they are just saying the same thing :(

Does anyone know what this really means? I do have a audio content that rings on the background!!
