iOS app rejected five times because of background audio setting

[Richard Miller]

Thanks for the info, Ralph. I had figured out the exit-on-suspend issue previously. In my last app submission, I completely removed the entire section in the info.plist file which referenced UIBackgroundModes, but they still rejected it on the same claim that background audio was enabled. This tells me one of two things: there is some other file in the standalone that is referencing this function, or, by completely removing it from info.plist, this effectively defaults to enabling that function. 

I am hoping that the precise code I included in my previous email is the correct way to disable background audio in info.plist, and that there is no other file other than the info.plist that needs to be addressed.
