AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory in iOS 9

I want to play audio while the phone is in silent mode.

I can do this in >= iOS 10 with the following statement:

try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, mode: AVAudioSessionModeDefault, options: .mixWithOthers)

But how do I do this for iOS 9? Xcode tells me that this statement is only available in iOS 10 or newer.

I tried the following but it is not working:

In fact, the method setCategory is rapidly changing in recent Xcodes & SDKs.

You need to find the right combination.

For Xcode 10.2 (Swift Language Version 4.2, 5)

        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            //Xcode 10.2 (Swift Language Version 4.2,5)
            //Xcode 10.1 (Swift Language Version 4.2)
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .default, options: .mixWithOthers)
        } else {
            //Xcode 10.2 (Swift Language Version 4.2,5)
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, options: .mixWithOthers)
        }

For Xcode 10.2 (Swift Language Version 4.0) or Xcode 10.1 (Swift Language Version 4.0)

        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            //Xcode 10.2 (Swift Language Version 4.0)
            //Xcode 10.1 (Swift Language Version 4.0)
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, mode: AVAudioSessionModeDefault, options: .mixWithOthers)
        } else {
            //Xcode 10.2 (Swift Language Version 4.0)
            //Xcode 10.1 (Swift Language Version 4.0)
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, with: .mixWithOthers)
        }

(Unfortunately, I could not have found a way to call setCategory for iOS 9 with Xcode 10.1 (Swift Language Version 4.2).)

Anyway, please re-check your Swift Language Version setting:
