React-native-youtube: No sound in silent mode on iOS

[arnsa]

Hello,

If there's a silent mode turned on on iOS, when video is playing, there's no sound for some reason. When I watch videos on other apps on iOS with silent mode turned on, it works just fine. Is there an available fix for this?

Package version: ^1.0.1
RN: 0.49.3

Ah, okay, sorry, found the fix in the documentation.

And for SEO:

1. Open AppDelegate.m and add:
   #import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

2. A bit lower in AppDelegate.m -- In the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method add:
   [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error: nil];
