In attached example for this repo, PIP is not working on iOS device
On pressing the togglePip icon nothing happens.

Is there any additional configuration we need to add to make it work ?

To reproduce

1. Clone the repo
2. Navigates to the examples
3. Install the dependency and pods
4. Connect your device to xcode and install the app
5. Now open the advanced example and start the video
6. Now click on togglePip icon, nothing happens on clicking.

Expected behavior
On press of togglePIp icon , video should play in PIP mode.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

• Device (iphone -XS):
• OS: [e.g. iOS 15.5]

Additional context
Even we tried this with our app, the behaviour remains same, PIP mode doesn't get launched.

Note - If we try this example with iPod pro (15.5), the PIP gets lauched but video doesn't gets played in PIP, it keep on playing in video container.

Hi all,

Can you please try the following to see if it fixes the issue:

1. Set your app’s audio session category to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback.
2. Enable the background audio (“Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture”) capability.

See Configuring the Audio Playback of iOS and tvOS Apps for more details.

Also, as a heads up, there are issues with iOS PiP and simulators. We suggest testing on a device.

Thanks!
