Hoping for guidance on how to prevent my app from stopping/pausing music playing from the Apple Music app. Would prefer if users can choose to listen to their own music while playing the game.
App Launch Pausing Music.
Your app will cause other apps from playing audio when you activate your audio session if you're using a non-mixable session.
To prevent that from happening at launch, you should follow the best practice of activating your audio session just before you first need it. To prevent that happening at all, configure your audio session with category option .mixWithOthers (or something similar).
