didUpdateLocations stops updating

In my Swift 2.0 app, I'm using CoreLocation to check whether the user is within 1km of a certain place and if they are, I use AVFoundation to play a sound.

The problem is, when I start playing the audio within the didUpdateLocations, it stops updating, even after the audio stops..

Here's my code:

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {



    //Method called every time the location is updated by CoreLocation



    let userLocation = locations[0]


    var i = 0

    while i < coordinates.count {

        //Looping through all different coordinates



        let location = CLLocation(coordinate: coordinates[i], altitude: 0, horizontalAccuracy: kCLLocationAccuracyBest, verticalAccuracy: kCLLocationAccuracyBest, timestamp: NSDate())



        if userLocation.distanceFromLocation(location) < 1001 {


            //If the user is within 1000m of area[i]



            if player.rate == 0.0 {

                //Checks for the player already playing something else


                if let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource(titles[i], withExtension: "mp3") {                            


                        player.removeAllItems()
                        player.insertItem(AVPlayerItem(URL: url), afterItem: nil)
                        player.play()






                        i = 10 //We had an area that was closer and the player is finished, so we stop the loop

                }


            }


        } else {

            //This location was further than 1000 meters, so we up the count and check the next coordinate

            i += 1

        }

    }

}

Since the didUpdateLocations just stops updating, I can't play audio when the user enters another area. Your help is highly appreciated!

Thanks

It looks like your while loop will be stuck if player.rate != 0.0, or the "if let url" condition is false because the i-value won't change. I might be wrong, but based on looking at the code that is on this page, that would seem to be the case.
