React Native Music controls does not appear on real iOS device lock screen at all

[krunalbad]

React Native Music controls does not appear on real iOS device lock screen at all
but appears on iOS simulator but controls does not work at all

but same code works 99% on android
except in android the notification does not go away on reset function

react-native: 0.63.2
react-native-music-control: 1.4.0-alpha
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-music-control/v/1.4.0-alpha

Is there any other setup required for iOS ?

but it is still not working at all for ios.

lock controls are displaying for me on iOS 14. I've ran into an issue on iOS but not on Android such that if there were multiple instances of some media content, you would want to ensure that the media content you'd want to display within the lock controls isn't being mixed with another media instance. natively the code has issues differentiating what media content takes precedence even if you've set native props for now playing/update playback.

I'm having this same problem, have also tried earlier versions of this project and can't seem to get anything to show up the IOS lock screen

Figured out my issue at least, I'm working with react-native-community/audio-toolkit and there's a bug that doesn't let their mixWithOthers flag ever get set to False, you can test this by playing your app audio at the same time as another app's audio.

If you're audio can play at the same time as another app's audio, then react-native-music-control will not work. Merging this commit into your code should solve the mixWithOthers issue in react-native-audio-toolkit, which should make your lock screen controls from this package work.

apparently i am using react-native-track-player and react-native-video that's y i am having trouble having controls in iOS
and both packages provides options mixWithOthers but none gets successful to get react-native-music-control started 😭

[DevMMI]

@krunalbad do you set mixWithOthers to false on both those packages and react-native-music-controls still doesn't work? Try checking whether those flags are being obeyed, i.e. whether you can play audio at the same time as another app.

i have tried mixWithOthers in both pkgs trackplayer and rn-video but none helped

probably the main issue is with integrating these many pkgs together which maybe be creating conflicts i guess

[krunalbad]

Closing this issue due to other pkgs conflicts
