Swift: Keep playing sounds when the device is locked

Question

I\'m using the following code to play a sound off a URL from the internet:

var audioPlayer = AVPlayer()

...

let audioSessio         


        

Answer 1

You use wrong category, for AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient it's normal behavior "Your audio is silenced by screen locking and by the Silent switch". Use AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback instead.
