Using the AppGameKit Player on my iPhone, I get no audio if my iPhone ringer switch is on silent. This does not affect any other apps I have, sound and music play fine. I am using the latest Player, "Built Jun 11 2019".

To test this simply use the "PlayingMusic" or "PlayingSound" examples included with AGK.

Upon further investigation, this also affects releases actually published on the iOS store. For example, Galaforce Worlds:

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/galaforce-worlds/id1263273605

Again, other iOS games I have (not developed with AppGameKit) do not have this problem. With the switch on it is only the phone ringing that should be silent, not any other sounds.

It's an iPhone 7, running iOS 12.3.1.

Unfortunately I have no access to any other devices with a ringer switch, so can't test a different version of iOS.

(Also, as a side note, please don't take this as a criticism of AppGameKit, I am just surprised at this unusual behaviour. Overall I have been testing AppGameKit across my iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Mac and PC over the last few days and this is the only thing I have found that is of concern. AppGameKit seems fantastic and just what I'm after - it reminds me a lot of Blitz Basic, of which I spent many (hundreds of!) happy hours on both my Amiga and subsequently PC.)
