AVPlayer, notification for play/pause state?

Question

I\'m searching for a way to get notified the exact moment when AVPlayer starts playing. There\'s the \"rate\" property, but currently I am checking it periodically

For iOS 10 onwards You can check new property of AVPlayer timeControlStatus.

if(avPlayerObject.timeControlStatus==AVPlayerTimeControlStatusPaused)
{
//Paused mode
}
else if(avPlayerObject.timeControlStatus==AVPlayerTimeControlStatusPlaying)
{
 //Play mode
}
