You can find the related information in its README.md.

  • If you want to enable RemoteControl features, you will have to override UIApplication.RemoteControlReceived(UIEvent) and forward the event to the MediaManagerImplementation.MediaRemoteControl.RemoteControlReceived(UIEvent) method. See the sample application for more details.

Follow these steps:

  1. Create a SampleApplication class inherit from UIApplication To implement RemoteControlReceived(UIEvent) as its sample code, like this:

    using Foundation;
using Plugin.MediaManager;
using UIKit;

namespace MediaSample.iOS
{
    [Register("SampleApplication")]
    public class SampleApplication: UIApplication
    {
        private MediaManagerImplementation MediaManager => (MediaManagerImplementation) CrossMediaManager.Current;

        public override void RemoteControlReceived(UIEvent uiEvent)
        {               
           MediaManager.MediaRemoteControl.RemoteControlReceived(uiEvent);
        }
    }
}

    MediaManager.MediaRemoteControl.RemoteControlReceived(uiEvent) helps you to handle the next/previous/pause/play events. To see how it works, you can refer here.

  2. Don't foget to add the SampleApplication to UIApplication.Main() in Main.cs like this:

     UIApplication.Main(args, "SampleApplication", "AppDelegate");
