If Apple Music is playing when my app starts up and I define the category -
Apple Music pauses.
If I start Apple Music after my app is running, I get Apple Music to duck
while my audio plays, but Apple Music remains ducked after my audio
completes.
* try audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient, with:
[.duckOthers])*
I would assume that the audio would come back up. And wouldn't think my app
would pause Apple Music when it starts up...
