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

first of all you should add background mode to your plist like this:

Then you should use AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback session. Like this:

AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, error: nil)

AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient does not work in background.
