Hello ! I am working on an app connected to an external streamer . I would like to display current playing song on the Lock Screen.
I tried to update the information in MPNowPlayingInfoCenter but I need to play a sound on my iPhone for the control to be displayed .
Is there a way to do it without playing a sound? If not, playing a silent sound would be the only solution ? validated by Apple ? :-/
Thank you Frederic
The audio hardware needs to be engaged for the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter to be populated. The App Review Guidelines mention that:
2.5.4 Multitasking apps may only use background services for their intended purposes: VoIP, audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications, etc.
Thank you for your answer. I know this part of the guideline unfortunately.
Is there a solution to achieve what I want to do ?
