I'm migrating my Push-to-Talk app from the old VoIP-push approach (PushKit PKPushTypeVoIP) to the PushToTalk framework (iOS 16+), sending apns-push-type: pushtotalk notifications with the .voip-ptt topic. My app currently has these entitlements from the old implementation: com.apple.developer.pushkit.unrestricted-voip com.apple.developer.pushkit.unrestricted-voip.ptt And I've now added: com.apple.developer.push-to-talk My questions: When migrating to the PushToTalk framework, is it mandatory to update the App ID and remove the unrestricted-voip and unrestricted-voip.ptt entitlements? Or can the new push-to-talk entitlement coexist with them? Can I submit an app update that uses only PushToTalk notifications (no VoIP pushes), while the App ID / provisioning profile still has the voip and voip-ptt entitlements enabled? Will this pass App Review, or does the presence of the old entitlements cause issues? I currently see the runtime warning "Your app must be updated to use the Push to Talk framework" — is this triggered specifically by the presence of the unrestricted-voip.ptt entitlement, and will removing it resolve the warning? Thanks in advance.

App getting terminated as the app enters background state. No crash logs are generated. I have collected this log from Console(Mac app)by connecting iPhone and sending my app to background. There is no meaningful reason or code I can get from the logs. Can you please help me with what does 'explanation:BG Kill Demo ' means ? My app is a VoIP app. App depends on voip apns notifications to receive information about new Voip calls from server. I am posting the logs collected from console app here. default 14:29:55.265590-0400 audiomxd -CMSessionMgr- CMSessionMgrHandleApplicationStateChange: Sending stop command to com.myapp.bundleid with pid '2933' because client is background suspended and there is no AirPlay video session for it default 14:29:55.265753-0400 dasd Received state update for 2933 (app<com.myapp.bundleid(AD9F24FF-321B-48U6-895F-723CDA943372)>, running-suspended-NotVisible default 14:29:55.265908-0400 locationd Received state update for 2933 (app<com.myapp.bundleid(AD9F24FF-321B-48U6-895F-723CDA943372)>, running-suspended-NotVisible default 14:29:55.265994-0400 locationd {"msg":"invoking applicationStateChange handler", "StateChangeData":"{\n BKSApplicationStateAppIsFrontmost = 0;\n BKSApplicationStateExtensionKey = 0;\n SBApplicationStateDisplayIDKey = "com.myapp.bundleid";\n SBApplicationStateKey = 2;\n SBApplicationStateProcessIDKey = 2933;\n SBMostElevatedStateForProcessID = 2;\n}"} default 14:29:55.266083-0400 locationd {"msg":"Post Application State Change Notification", "notification":"BackgroundTaskSuspended", "pid":2933, "bundleId":"com.myapp.bundleid"} default 14:29:55.267019-0400 locationd {"msg":"#CLIUA AppMonitor notification", "notification":"BackgroundTaskSuspended", "pid":2933, "bundleId":"com.myapp.bundleid", "ClientKey":"icom.myapp.bundleid:"} default 14:29:55.267061-0400 locationd {"msg":"skip erasing #CLIUA for RunningBoard Process State.

I am working on a VoIP based PTT app. Uses 'voip' apns notification type to get to know about new incoming PTT call.  When the app is in foreground, the app gets to know about incoming VoIP PTT call through incoming push notification. After receiving notification, the app receives audio from the server. This works properly, as expected. The app faces issues in receiving apns notifications only when the app is in background. Issue: My app is in background and iPhone locked, the server sends apns notification to the target iPhone about a new incoming VoIP call. Server received 200 success response code from APNS. But the app in background did not receive the notification. Second time, the server sends notification about second VoIP call. App did not receive notification. Third time, server sends notification about 3rd incoming call. This list goes on. Everytime server sends a notification to the target phone, success response is received from APNS. 
 Now, bring the app to foreground, the app receives all the pending notifications at once. This scenario happens only in a few phones. Those customers are missing PTT calls.
Can you please provide us suggestions to solve this issue ? My app uses unrestricted-voip entitlement

I am working on a VoIP based PTT app. Uses 'voip' apns notification type to get to know about new incoming PTT call. When my app receives a PTT call, the app plays audio. But the call audio is not heard. While checking the phone volume, the API [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] outputVolume] returns 0. But clearly the phone volume is not zero. On checking the phone volume by pressing side volume button, the volume is above 50%. This behavior is observed in both app foreground and background scenario. Why does the API return zero volume level ? Is there any other reason why the app volume is not heard ?
