Resume AVPlayer video playback after app become active

Question

I write custom player from AVPlayer for video playback. According to Apple docs set the video layer:

    self.player = [IPLPlayer new];
    self.player.playerLa         


        

Answer 1

This works for me on Swift 3

Add somewhere while setting up the view:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, 
  selector: #selector(appWillEnterForegroundNotification),
  name: .UIApplicationWillEnterForeground, object: nil)

Grab your player and force it to play:

func appWillEnterForegroundNotification() {
  myPlayer.play()
}

Don't forget to remove the observers when you don't need them:

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
  super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
  NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}
