Initialize the AVAudioSession on app startup

Considerations around initializing AVAudioSession when your application starts.
Read time 1 minute
Last updated 8 months ago
We strongly recommend that you set the AVAudioSession to 
AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback
, 
AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient
, or to another non-recording category on app startup.
Caution: Configuring the AVAudioSession near to or during voice chat can lead to unexpected volume changes. Limit this activity to the early stages of the app’s life cycle, unless you are restoring the device audio volume.
