This is an issue that I ran into today (July 31st 2024) where now when I have the game open my music will no longer play. It will be paused as soon as I tap on the app icon on my Home Screen. It pauses both Apple Music and Spotify. As someone who listens to music 24/7 and loves certain songs while I do gac I would love for whatever was implemented that made this happen to please go away. Thank you
Same boat. Can’t listen to my free library audiobooks on Libby all of a sudden.
Community ManagerHey everyone,
thanks for flagging this to us. We've forwarded it to the team for further investigation.
Having same issue… I prefer being able to listen to my own music or audiobooks podcasts etc and since that update I can’t
Any solution? 7 days and 0 news
Hi,
Is there any update you can provide on the status of this issue? Grinding through hours of territory battle missions, raid attempts and conquest the last few days w/o being able to listen to music/podcasts/etc like I have always done for the last 2 years is really starting to make the game a pain to play
Community ManagerI totally understand. At the moment, I don't have any specific information, but you can also follow the status on our Trello board:

This is extremely annoying in an on/off game like Swgoh. And this feature/bug has happened before, at least 2 times.
Same issue here too. I’m on iOS.
I'm in the same boat. I always listen to music, podcasts, youtube, etc. while playing swgoh. The latest update must be preventing background apps from playing audio. PLEASE reverse this change as it really negatively impacts playability
Came here to report this. I can deal with bugs but not this.
I have the same problem. I disabled music and audio effects of the game and still stop music
I have the same issue. My audiobook player, radio app and YouTube app all crash when the game launch screen shows. If I leave the game to restart an app, SWGOH reboots as soon as I reopen it.
