iOS Apple ditches background audio

[DennisdeWit]

Hi,

I am trying to build a radio app. But unfortunately, with the coming of iOS 12, all the background audio will be muted.

Normally I use this code:

AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback)

Since the new Swift, I get the notification that setCategory 'is not available in Swift'. It seems radio apps are dead in iOS 12?

Thanks,
Dennis

The syntax has changed:
