iOS Background Audio rejection.

[Phil Jimmieson]

When I tried to edit it, it broke LiveCode - Gatekeeper complained it was no longer valid - I think because it’s now all signed and changing the plist file makes the signing invalid. 

LiveCode - Can we please have an option in the standalone builder to set the ExitsOnSuspend item in the plist please? You can pop up a warning dialog box in 72pt red text if you like, warning that it can cause problems, but please allow us to do this easily, rather than choose background audio, or manually hack the appropriate plist files.
