I am creating an iOS app that performs audio. I exploit an AVAudioSession in .playback, and have MPNowPlayingInfoCenter and MPRemoteCommandCenter built-in, together with audio and AirPlay background modes. It really works almost flawlessly and seamlessly throughout Apple gadgets, e.g. now taking part in controls pop up on Apple Watch, I can AirPlay to AppleTV and Homepod.
The one difficulty I’m having is that once I AirPlay to AppleTV, whereas the audio performs and I can management the amount from my cellphone or watch, I don’t get the now taking part in controls. Nevertheless, if I AirPlay Spotify from my iPhone to AppleTV (Spotify app not put in on AppleTV), within the prime proper of the television display, the album artwork and track information briefly pop up close to the time and profile initials (then disappear after a number of seconds) and the “audio output animation/waveform” then seem between the time and profile initials. If I open the command heart and spotlight the audio waveform icon, the track information pops up with mini audio controls, and if I choose the audio waveform icon, it switches to full display and shows album and track information. It additionally switches to full display if I let if play for a couple of minutes.
I do not get that habits with my app (though the audio performs nice and I can management monitor choice and quantity from my cellphone/watch). Nevertheless, if Spotify is taking part in and I then AirPlay from my app, my app then shows full display with album artwork and track information…that is the one method I can get my app to show something.
Any concept what may very well be inflicting the distinction in habits? Operating iOS 18.3.1 on iPhone and tvOS 18.3.
