Merge audio and video when the lengths are different - iphone

Question

Im making a video merging a movie file from one image (only have one frame) and an audio of several seconds using this tutorial.
In iphone devices the video duration is equivalent of audio duration and i saw the image along all the video.
But when i share to android devices (through whatsapp) and i press play the playback duration is the movie from images duration (one frame). I make a test that if i create a movie file from one image repeated a hundred times (a 10fps, ten seconds), in android devices playblack duration is ten seconds.
I think that android devices only plays the shortest track in the video, but if i modify the timerange in addMutableTrackWithMediaType of video to the audio duration nothing happens.
Any advice?
Thank you for support

Answer 1

Just fixed!
I create the movie file repeating X times the image, and then in the composition process i scaled to the size of the audioAsset.duration
CMTimeRange video_timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero,videoAsset.duration);
AVMutableCompositionTrack *a_compositionVideoTrack = [mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
[a_compositionVideoTrack insertTimeRange:video_timeRange ofTrack:[[videoAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0] atTime:kCMTimeZero error:nil];
[a_compositionVideoTrack scaleTimeRange:video_timeRange toDuration:audioAsset.duration];
You need to repeat the image once to allow track to be scaled, but if the movie has only 2 frames, in android only plays eight seconds, so i made a video with a image repeated 10 times to allow me exceed the limit of 45 secons in video share of whatsapp

Inside CompileFilesToMakeMovie method, use video_timeRange instead of audio_timeRange wherever its needed...
