An iOS background mode audit scans Info.plist and Swift sources to detect silent audio, non-navigation location, and misused BGTaskScheduler tasks, providing file paths and remediation suggestions to prevent App Store rejections.

Silent audio background abuse is playing inaudible audio to keep an iOS app alive in the background, violating Apple's requirements. It is detected during an audit by scanning sources and suggests replacing it with BGTaskScheduler for background processing.

To audit BGTaskScheduler usage, scan your iOS Swift sources to identify unregistered or misdeclared background tasks. The audit flags these patterns and provides actionable guidance to correct task declarations and align with Apple's requirements.

Using background location mode for non-navigation tasks risks rejection under iOS Guideline 2.5.3. An audit detects this misuse and recommends using CoreMotion APIs for non-navigation purposes to maintain compliance.

The background audit is designed for iOS projects with declared background modes and BGTaskScheduler usage. It scans Info.plist and related APIs to surface violations, but projects without these declarations may not yield actionable audit results.

Automated iOS background mode compliance checks are non-destructive and focus on identifying silent audio, location misuse, and BGTaskScheduler overuse. They provide actionable guidance but require developers to manually apply the suggested remediations to align with Apple's guidelines.
