Code Examples for starting background audio from an AppIntent
Hi all, I'm trying to update my app to use the AppIntent framework to play an audio file (loaded from the main bundle). I tried implementing an a PlayMusicIntent using the AudioStartingIntent protocol, but have had no luck. The intent does run, and provides the dialog response, but the music doesn't start. struct PlayMusicIntent: AudioStartingIntent { static let title:LocalizedStringResource = "Play Music" @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { guard let musicPath = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "moonglow", withExtension: "mp3") else { fatalError("Could not load music file") } do { let musicPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: musicPath) musicPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1 musicPlayer.play() return .result(dialog: "Now Playing Moonglow") }catch { print(error) return .result(dialog: "There was an error playing the music: \(error.localizedDescription)") } return .result(dialog: "Cannot play music") } } And then add this in my App Shortcuts Provider: AppShortcut(intent: PlayMusicIntent(), phrases: [ "Play music with \(.applicationName)" ]) I do have Audio background mode enabled. I'm thinking I need to do something with the intent's return type, but there is not a lot of documentation or online examples to implement AudioStartingIntent Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott
