IOS Audio Precedence: Stupid Problems, Stupid Solutions

In iOS if you are:

  • Using Apple Maps for directions
  • Playing Music
  • Connected to a car over Bluetooth (not Apple CarPlay)

…when you pause your music it will remain paused until the next direction is audibly announced by Apple Maps. At which point, the music will unpause itself once the Apple Maps voice is done talking. Additionally, because all music apps for iOS utilize the OS-hosted audio contols, closing the music app entirely does not stop this behavior. You must uninstall the app. You may think that navigating to iOS settings and disabling that app’s ability to utilize mobile data may limit the impact. However, this simply makes it play the current song which has already been cached.

For every Apple Maps direction change dictated along your route, iOS will unpause your last audio source, and exhaust your mobile data. Additionally, because of the quiet voice of Apple Maps, this can result in Death Grips - Takyon (Death Yon) suddenly playing at comparatively FULL VOLUME at 2am in the morning as you complete a 70mi stretch of highway, and approach the last exit before the hotel awaiting you and your toddler asleep in the backseat.

Anyways, I’ve long since uninstalled all music apps over the past few years. And yes, this is a years long problem. Glazing over the quite obvious lack of pathways for real-world feedback from iOS users to Apple, this is at it’s core a very stupid, potentially costly, and user hostile behavior.

The mechanisms at play can be a little confusing, but I was reminded recently of this problem along with the fact that I had prior re-used a module I’d written for plick (play/pause=click) from MUVR to propose a way to exfiltrate data from a locked down Android device smuggled out of place by read/writing a few bits at a time using the state of Bluetooth audio controls.

Since I’m already familiar with the browser API’s, albeit a bit rusty (oh my god that was 4 years ago?!?!?!?), and iOS probably isn’t much different: herein follows an implementation of a stupid solution to an even stupider problem, so that I can once again install music apps on my iPhone. Or, you know, Apple could set a flag somewhere that if an audio source was manually paused it should never be automatically un-paused.

Let’s see who can solution faster!

Audio

Because the OS-hosted audio controls are the core suspected culprit and/or what we want to “stomp” upon to evict a music app, we’ll be targeting one of the most readily accessible and highly OS-integrated apps on iOS: the browser.

We start by using the HTMLAudioElement to create and audio element.

d = document;
a = d.createElement('audio');

We give the HTML audio element some controls, which propogate to the OS-hosted audio controls when the browser is backgrounded.

a.setAttribute('controls', true);
a.setAttributeNode(d.createAttribute('controls'));

Then, to prevent our audio from being evicted itself, we attempt to prevent this by setting out audio to loop.

a.setAttribute('loop', true);

Source

While potentially not entirely necessary, we also define the MIME type and set the src attribute to a data URL fetch’d into a buffer then placed in a blob and construct an ObjectURL pointing to the cached buffer… that contains an MP3 file I made in Audacity containing silence. Then we register a click handler on the entire document so that I can literally tap anywhere on the blank page to trigger the behavior. Additionally, a little alert popup to ensure the activity fired.

Events

Javascript in the browser doesn’t run in the background, or is at least deprioritized when another app is in the foreground, such as Apple Maps. However, there may be an exception to that rule for native OS-hosted audio controls and the events they trigger in the background. Let’s hook into them such that our audio source should automatically play itself if its ever paused, if it can.

a.addEventListener('pause', function () {
    a.play();
}, false);

Packaging

In yet another hilarious scenario similar to that called out in the top of this blog similar to the behavior observed when disabling the music app’s access to mobile data: When listening to music on iOS and the entire phone goes out of cellular signal the same “endless repeat” behavior is triggered.

While driving on back-roads with my wife we were stuck listening to a cached version of John Denver’s “Country Roads, Take Me Home” because we we had no cellular signal. Rebooting the phone was a non-starter because then we would also have no cellular signal to load up the maps we needed to navigate.

We made the best of the situation and I belted out the lyrics ad nauseam. My wife found this preferable to me describing the technical details of the problem at hand.

However, I’d also like to address this situation. In doing so, I cannot rely on having cellular data to retrieve the magic javascript listed above from a remote web page. Hence, I will package it into yet another data URL that I can then save to my iOS home screen as a bookmarklet. This requires no cellular data to trigger.

Now, unfortunately, data URLs have been leveraged for phishing and misdirection, so I can’t actually make a link for you to click and bookmark because your browser will prevent it from loading.

But I CAN make this little button here to copy the entire thing to your clipboard, which you can then paste in a new tab, then bookmark that and/or save it to your home screen!
