Lock screen play button doesn’t start the audio again
On an Iphone, when the phone is locked and I hit the pause button it stops playing, but doesn’t start again unless I open the app/unlock the phone.
The answer from our developer:
"This is a known limitation of how the app plays audio on iPhones. Audio runs through a built-in web player (shared with the website and Android), and iOS only keeps an app awake while audio is actually playing. About 10 seconds after pausing on the lock screen, iOS puts the app to sleep, so pressing play has nothing to talk to. Apps like Podcasts or Spotify avoid this because their players are built on Apple's native audio system, which iOS knows to wake up. Android isn't limited this way.
Our forked music-controls plugin doesn't get around this on its own. It handles the lock-screen display and buttons, but the audio still plays through the web player, which is the part iOS puts to sleep. For now, the workaround is pressing play within about 10 seconds of pausing, or resuming from inside the app."
This is possible to fix if we would invest in building an iOS-specific integration with Apple's native player. That is really expensive so we can't commit to that yet. Donations to AC Central are always appreciated!

Remove Default "Sunday AM" for Service/Day Submission
Would it be possible to remove the default "Sunday AM" selection from the Service/Day field on a new sermon submission? I think it would cause fewer issues if it were left blank. We just reportedly had five consecutive "Sunday AM" services in Eureka, according to our AC Central submissions. :) While not difficult to edit, and certainly the result of user error, it seems like it would be less likely to occur if the field was nominally blank. A blank (or "select") would probably stand out more readily as incomplete than a default "Sunday AM". We will continue to try to raise awareness of this in the sound booth, but it could also be helpful if it were possible to change the default selection. Thanks.
Final conference prayer missing
I would like to have the final prayer of the conference included at the end of the conference recordings. Bro. Fred Witzig.
Ministers
I've noticed several ministers have been deleted off, is this becoming a prescreened selective app?
Each congregation maintains its own sermon archive and decides what they want to upload or not.
We fixed the issue with a server-side script update. Your data should refresh next time you restart the app or logout and back in.
Password can't autofill - resubmit
A new update on Google Play seems to have turned off the feature for autofill for password and username info. I know this was fixed previously, but it appears to be not working again.
