Issue:
My application's audio is not resuming after an interruption (such as phone call or when I use other applications). This issue happens when my application is already in the background state before the interrupt occurs.
Code to handle interrupts:
- (void)handleInterruption:(NSNotification *) notification{
if (notification.name != AVAudioSessionInterruptionNotification || notification.userInfo == nil) {
return;
}
NSDictionary *info = notification.userInfo;
if ([notification.name isEqualToString:AVAudioSessionInterruptionNotification]) {
if ([[info valueForKey:AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeKey] isEqualToNumber:[NSNumber numberWithInt:AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeBegan]]) {
NSLog(@"InterruptionTypeBegan");
} else {
NSLog(@"InterruptionTypeEnded");
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, 0.1 * NSEC_PER_SEC), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
NSLog(@"playing audio");
self->_audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1;
[self->_audioPlayer play];
});
}
}
}In Xcode console, I see logs in the following sequence but no audio is played:
- InterruptionTypeBegan
- InterruptionTypeEnded
- playing audio
I would appreciate any suggestions and thoughts on this topic. Thank you.
Additional information:
I have noticed same issue with many online music streaming apps such as Saavn and Spotify.
