Since iOS 27 beta we are seeing a behavior change in our video streaming app and I would like to know whether others can reproduce it.
Behavior on iOS 27 beta:
Fully opening the Notification Center pauses playback. Audio continues for about 5 more seconds, then the app is suspended. Closing the Notification Center leaves the player paused.
On iOS 26 the same build keeps playing in this situation.
Setup:
-
AVQueuePlayer playing video with audio, not muted
-
audiovisualBackgroundPlaybackPolicy = .automatic (default)
-
AVAudioSession category .playback, UIBackgroundModes: audio entitlement
-
AVPictureInPictureController attached with canStartPictureInPictureAutomaticallyFromInline = true

Questions:
- Can anyone reproduce this on iOS 27 beta?
- Is this intentional or a regression?
