AVplayer resuming after incoming call

Question

I am using AVPlayer for music playback. My problem is that after an incoming call, the player won\'t resume. How do I handle this when an incoming call comes?

Answer 1

I was getting the same problem in "AVAudioPlayer" controller. Using "AVAudioSession.interruptionNotification" we can resume audio playing once interruption ended even though audio playing in the background.

    @objc func interruptionNotification(notification: Notification) {
    guard let type = notification.userInfo?[AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeKey] as? UInt,
        let interruption = AVAudioSession.InterruptionType(rawValue: type) else {
            return
    }

    if interruption == .began{
        print("Pause audio....")
        self.player?.pause()
        do {
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(false)
            print("AVAudioSession is inactive")
        } catch let error as NSError {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
        }
    }

    if interruption == .ended{
        print("Play audio....")
        do {
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
            print("AVAudioSession is Active again")
            self.player?.play()
        } catch let error as NSError {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
        }
    }
}

Here first you need to InActive AVAudioSession when it's interrupted and Active AVAudioSession once interruption ended. It's working perfectly please try it!
