Question

I am playing Apple Music from my application , the apple music player code is as -

-(void) submitAppleMusicTrackWithProductID: (NSString *) productID // productI         


        

Answer 1

Instead of using -(void)remoteControlReceivedWithEvent:(UIEvent *)event to track for the controls, use MPRemoteCommandCenter adding targets to each one of the controls:

Note: It's important to enable the controls before assigning a target.

[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].playCommand.enabled = YES;
[[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].playCommand addTarget:self action:@selector(remotePlay)];

[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].pauseCommand.enabled = YES;
[[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].pauseCommand addTarget:self action:@selector(remoteStop)];

[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].previousTrackCommand.enabled = YES;
[[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].previousTrackCommand addTarget:self action:@selector(loadPreviousSong)];

[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].nextTrackCommand.enabled = YES;
[[MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter].nextTrackCommand addTarget:self action:@selector(loadNextSong)];

Selectors:

-(void) remotePlay {
    [APP_DELEGATE PlayPauseMusic:nil];
}
-(void) remoteStop {
    [APP_DELEGATE PlayPauseMusic:nil];
}
-(void) loadNextSong {
    [APP_DELEGATE next:nil];
}
-(void) loadPreviousSong {
    [APP_DELEGATE previous:nil];
}
