is there anyway to detect the beat of an mp3 or wav file using javascript's web audio api on mobile devices? I've seen it work on Desktop chrome but not on iOs

Answer 1

Web Audio API is cross-platform solution. If it works on one browser, using standardized APIs, the solution should work with other browsers too.
