Description
In this context, background playback means playing audio while the app is minimized or the mobile device is locked.
Our current behavior when running a QMediaPlayer on mobile is that background playback will be enabled by default on Android, but will be disabled by default on iOS. To replicate this, run some audio using MediaPlayer and then lock the mobile device.
We should solve this discrepancy and also create a user story that lets the users control whether background playback should be used at all. Many apps don't want background playback enabled, and some only want it to be enabled conditionally (i.e YouTube Premium on mobile).
