I have the following code in my app to make all of my AVPlayers play audio in the background as well as foreground. It worked fine in Swift 4.
do {
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, with: .mixWithOthers)
NSLog("Playback OK")
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
NSLog("Session is Active")
} catch {
NSLog("ERROR: CANNOT PLAY MUSIC IN BACKGROUND. Message from code: \"\(error)\"")
}
Then this morning when I converted to Swift 5, I'm now getting an error on line 02 that says "Ambiguous reference to member 'setCategory'". What does this mean and how can I fix it?
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback, options: AVAudioSession.CategoryOptions.mixWithOthers)
NSLog("Playback OK")
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
NSLog("Session is Active")
} catch {
NSLog("ERROR: CANNOT PLAY MUSIC IN BACKGROUND. Message from code: \"\(error)\"")
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback, options: AVAudioSession.CategoryOptions.mixWithOthers)
NSLog("Playback OK")
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
NSLog("Session is Active")
} catch {
NSLog("ERROR: CANNOT PLAY MUSIC IN BACKGROUND. Message from code: \"\(error)\"")
