iOS AVPlayer: pause video when screen locks

I am using an AVPlayerViewController to display a video with an AVPlayer.

When I lock the phone screen the video keeps playing on the background.

How can I prevent this?

Try this disable background mode for Audio and Airplay 

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
     // pause the video here
 }

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application      {
    // resume video when screen unlock 
 }
