To know if the change was a success, the new song track should have a checkmark next to it under the alarm's Sound options. Hit the + sign next to the song title to add it to the alarm. Tap 'Pick a song' to get to the Library and find a track to wake up to. Tap the + sign on the top-right corner of the screen to 'Add Alarm.' After setting the time, 'Repeat' schedule, and alarm 'Label', tap 'Sound.' Users who already have songs downloaded on their device through the iPhone's Music Library should find suggestions to use under 'Songs' or an option to choose one. To set a new alarm using a song for a ringtone, launch the Clock app. Related: Spotify Sleep Timer: How It Works For people who want to know what it feels like to wake up to " Circle of Life" from The Lion King instead of " Early Riser," morning alarms need to be set through the Clock app. However, alarm options are limited to only nine sound choices. There's also the Sleep section of the iPhone's Health app for users who are running their devices on iOS 15 and like to track their sleep schedule. The Clock app is the obvious choice for quick and easy alarms that are pretty easy to program and modify. Again, tremendous thanks for any help.There are two ways to set up a wake-up alarm clock on an iPhone. what resources I've already looked at - if you like, but I'm fairly certain that I've looked at every possible resource out there.
One last thought: is there a silent push technique whereby they may be pushing a notification to the app at the time of the event and checking to see if it is time for the alarm tone to play? Shot in the dark there.Īny insight into the matter would help a ton! I'm pulling my hair out! I can edit this post and add more information - i.e. Could it be that the permissions are there, so even though the app isn't allowed to access the location information, the iOS still allows it to be active in the background?

So, to wrap up, IMHO, this feature can't come from any Background Audio permissions since the app isn't actively playing audio when it enters the background (unless its silence and they simply got lucky and slipped through the submission process) it may come from continually refreshing the app in the background for location/weather services (and then via a simple timer counting down to the alarm fire time) but the feature still works when background refresh and location services are disabled for the alarm. For a fixed price paid app with no IAPs, that doesn't seem like a great business model.
#ITUNES ALARM APP FREE#
This isn't necessarily complete fluff - I can see some value in that for an alarm app - but is it possible that they're querying some weather API at short enough intervals to keep the app awake in the background until the alarm time? If they are, what would that look like? Furthermore, weather APIs are free to use up to a certain number of queries, but they have a lot of downloads and I assume a lot of queries. It does have a feature that seems a little out of place - the app displays weather information. However, even with all of these turned off in settings, the alarm still works and plays an iTunes song! I have to assume as well that Alarmy isn't playing silence until the alarm time since it wouldn't have gotten through Apple's submission process (or could they just have missed this, and the playing field is now totally uneven). I don't know of any way to investigate what Alarmy is doing while waiting for an alarm time, but I can see that it does have location services enabled, cellular data enabled, and background refresh enabled. It can bypass the ring/silent switch, increase volume to max, and play a preselected song from a local iTunes library when it is seemingly (or should be) in a background state. Unlike most other alarm clocks in the app store, it is able to play an iTunes song as an alarm sound without being in the foreground at all. The app in question is "Alarmy" - formerly "Sleep if you can." It's an alarm clock.
I'm looking into the issue because I'd like to add this functionality (like many others I've seen) to an app I'm building. I've been pouring over all documentation regarding background states and permissions for playing audio in iOS and I can't figure out how a particular app is able to seemingly wake itself at a specific time in the future and play non-bundled sounds.
