  1. Initialize an audio session in ./ios/MY_APP_NAME/AppDelegate.mm:

    #import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

    //...

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
    {
      //...
      [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil];
      [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive:true error:nil];

      return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
    }
