AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime notification not working on iOS 11

In previous versions there was Done button on AVPlayer and when the following notification was added, it worked : 

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(CourseDetailViewController.moviePlayBackDidFinish(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: nil)

Now suddenly, in iOS 11, firstly there is no Done button (it is replaced by cross button), and secondly, on tapping cross button, NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime is not getting fired.
This is how I am presenting the player with help of AVPlayerViewController 

player = AVPlayer(url: url! as URL)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true)

The documentation states that AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime is

Posted when the item has played to its end time

which makes sense given the notification's name.

Conversely, tapping the Done (or X) button of your AVPlayerViewController before the item has finished playing means it won't play to its end time, and the notification therefore won't be posted.

Testing this on iOS 9.3 shows the behaviour is the same as it is on iOS 11.

Something else must have changed in your application, or in iOS 11's interaction with your application, that is causing the change of behaviour you're observing. Without seeing your code anything else would be speculation, but from what you describe, AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime is behaving as expected.
