Does this skill support the latest iOS versions?

Yes, it is specifically designed for iOS 18+ and includes notes on automatic system behaviors like the Liquid Glass visual design introduced in later versions.

Why does my app not appear in the iOS Now Playing controls?

Now Playing visibility requires three elements: an active non-mixable AVAudioSession, at least one registered remote command handler, and published metadata. This skill identifies which of these is missing.

Why is my artwork flickering or not updating?

Flickering is often caused by rapid redundant updates to the Now Playing dictionary. This skill provides patterns to manage metadata updates efficiently and handle image blocks correctly.

How do I fix grayed-out play and pause buttons?

Buttons appear grayed out if the remote command target isn't properly registered or if the command's isEnabled property is set to false. This skill provides the correct registration patterns.

Can this help with CarPlay Now Playing issues?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated decision tree branch for CarPlay, covering entitlements and configuration timing within the templateApplicationScene.
