We have created an app using the flutter platform.
Music plays fine, but we are struggling to get the app to play audio in the background on iOS devices. As soon as the user moves to another app or locks their phone, the music stops.
Does anyone have any tips on how to keep apps alive, running in the background, and playing audio even while the app does not have user focus?

There are some flutter packages that play audio in the background and they are controlled on the lock screen.

if your player streams music from a server also enable background fetch
