Background audio not persisting

[mykeln]

I load the app, tap play, then switch away from the app. Music immediately pauses. All of the code seems to set background audio correctly -- I have no idea why it's not working. Anyone else experiencing this?

Mobile OS:
iOS 18.3

You must configure your application for background media playback. See Apple's developer documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/configuring-your-app-for-media-playback.
