import AVKit

And add this to your AppDelegate's applicationDidBecomeActive section

func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
        // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
        do {
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback)
            print("AVAudioSession Category Playback OK")
            do {
                try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
                print("AVAudioSession is Active")
            } catch {
                print(error.localizedDescription)
            }
        } catch {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
        }

Swift 5.0.1

try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback)

Answer 4

Put this line before calling play() method of AVPlayer.

In Objective C

[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance]
            setCategory: AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
                  error: nil];

In Swift

do {
    try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback)
 }
 catch {
    // report for an error
 }

Swift 5

do {
      try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback)
   } catch(let error) {
       print(error.localizedDescription)
   }
