…ervice Pass enableBackgroundRecording: true to the expo-audio config plugin so it wires up the AudioRecordingService foreground service on Android. Also add POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission required by the service notification. Without the plugin option, enableBackgroundRecording defaults to false and the recorder's useForegroundService flag is never set, so Android kills the microphone when the screen turns off. Requires a native rebuild — not deliverable via OTA update. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…cording On Android 13+, POST_NOTIFICATIONS is a runtime permission. Without requesting it explicitly, the foreground service notification cannot be shown, causing Android to kill the recording when the screen locks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Activates keep-awake when recording starts and deactivates it on stop, cancel, or screen unmount. Prevents the screen from sleeping mid-recording while still allowing the user to manually lock the device. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
POST_NOTIFICATIONSruntime permission on Android 13+ before starting recordingexpo-keep-awake(deactivated on stop, cancel, or unmount)Why
Background recording fix: On Android 13+,
POST_NOTIFICATIONSis a runtime permission — declaring it in the manifest is not enough. TheAudioRecordingServiceforeground service needs to show a notification to keep recording alive in the background. If the notification permission isn't granted,startForeground()silently fails and Android terminates the recording when the screen locks.Keep awake: Prevents the screen from going to sleep mid-recording so users can monitor the timer and waveform. The user can still manually lock the device.
