Done button click event in AVPlayerViewController

Question

I want to play local video in AVPlayerViewController but did not find click event of Done button.

My video is able to play in AVPlayerViewController but I did not fi

Answer 1

I found a workaround without having to subclass the AVPlayerViewController, which the documentation clearly states you should not (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/avplayerviewcontroller). It is not pretty, but it got the job done for me by giving me somewhere to run code when the AVPlayerViewController is dismissed.

AnyViewController: UIViewController, AVPlayerViewControllerDelegate {
    private let playerVC = AVPlayerViewController()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        playerVC.delegate = self        
    }

    func playerViewController(_ playerViewController: AVPlayerViewController, willEndFullScreenPresentationWithAnimationCoordinator coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
        if playerViewController.isBeingDismissed {
            playerViewController.dismiss(animated: false) { [weak self] in
                self?.someDismissFunc()
            }
        }
    }
}

It is really messed up that there is no clean way of doing this as far as I can tell :(
