I\'ve tried to overcome this for a while. I\'m trying to record sound, but the AVAudioRecorder doesn\'t record while screen is locked. It does continue to record once screen
How about disabling the screen lock until you are done recording?
[UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES; // Do recording here [UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = NO;
Just don't forget to re-enable the screen lock when you're done!
