Swifty answer to get progress:

private func addPeriodicTimeObserver() {
        // Invoke callback every half second
        let interval = CMTime(seconds: 0.5,
                              preferredTimescale: CMTimeScale(NSEC_PER_SEC))
        // Queue on which to invoke the callback
        let mainQueue = DispatchQueue.main
        // Add time observer
        self.playerController?.player?.addPeriodicTimeObserver(forInterval: interval, queue: mainQueue) { [weak self] time in
            let currentSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(time)
            guard let duration = self?.playerController?.player?.currentItem?.duration else { return }
            let totalSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(duration)
            let progress: Float = Float(currentSeconds/totalSeconds)
            print(progress)
        }
    }
