Question

I\'m writing a radio app for both iPhone and iPad and am running into some weird behaviour when handling pausing and playing the audio with interruptions. I\'m using the AVA

Answer 1

It turns out that this is a known bug in iOS, which requires some careful work-arounds in the applicationDidBecomeActive to handle beginInterruption. Sadly, I couldn't figure out another solution.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. Issue disappeared after I implemented remote control event handling. I called [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];when starting playback.
