Now Playing Integration

소개

This skill provides a systematic framework for implementing and debugging the iOS Now Playing system, ensuring media metadata and remote playback controls function reliably on the Lock Screen and Control Center. It addresses critical system heuristics required by iOS 18+, such as correct AVAudioSession activation sequences and mandatory command handler registration, while offering battle-tested patterns to prevent common pitfalls like flickering artwork or out-of-sync playback states. By following its comprehensive decision trees and implementation guides, developers can ensure their apps maintain eligibility for system-wide media controls across iOS, iPadOS, and CarPlay.
