VideoPlayer Autoplay SwiftUI Issue

I am trying to get the VideoPlayer to autoplay with the video controller but I can't seem to figure it out! What should I do? I am fairly new to SwiftUI.

struct VideoView: View {
    // MARK: - PROPERTIES
    
    //: BINDING
    @Binding var videoView: Bool
    
    //: STATE
    @State var player = AVPlayer()
    @State var isplaying = true
    @State var showcontrols = true
    
    //: VAR
    var allowsPictureInPicturePlayback : Bool = true
    var wrkflw: Wrkflw
    
    // MARK: - BODY
    
    var body: some View {
        
        VideoPlayer(wrkflw: wrkflw, player: $player)
            .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
            
            .onAppear {
                player.play()
            }
        
    }
}

MARK: - VIDEO CONTROLLER

struct VideoPlayer : UIViewControllerRepresentable {
    
    var wrkflw: Wrkflw
    @Binding var player : AVPlayer
    
    func makeUIViewController(context: Context) ->  UIViewController {
        
        
        let player = AVPlayer(url: wrkflw.wrkvideo)
        let controller = AVPlayerViewController()
        
        controller.player = player
        controller.showsPlaybackControls = true
        controller.exitsFullScreenWhenPlaybackEnds = true
        controller.allowsPictureInPicturePlayback = true
        
        return controller
    }
    
    func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) {
        
        
    }
}

The simplest solution would be to just pass the AVPlayer reference from your VideoView to the VideoPlayer. You can use player.replaceCurrentItem so that you can set the correct URL but maintain the same player reference.

Make sure you remove the let player... lines in VideoPlayer


struct VideoView: View { // MARK: - PROPERTIES
    
    //: BINDING
    
    @Binding var videoView: Bool
    
    //: STATE
    @State var player = AVPlayer()
    @State var isplaying = true
    @State var showcontrols = true
    
    //: VAR
    var allowsPictureInPicturePlayback : Bool = true
    var wrkflw: Wrkflw
    
    // MARK: - BODY
    
    var body: some View {
        
        VideoPlayer(wrkflw: wrkflw, player: player)
            .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
        
            .onAppear {
                player.replaceCurrentItem(with: AVPlayerItem(url: wrkflw.wrkvideo)) //<-- Here
                player.play()
            }
        
    }
}
// MARK: - VIDEO CONTROLLER

struct VideoPlayer : UIViewControllerRepresentable {
    
    var wrkflw: Wrkflw
    var player : AVPlayer
    
    func makeUIViewController(context: Context) ->  UIViewController {
        
        //<-- Here
        
        let controller = AVPlayerViewController()
        
        controller.player = player
        controller.showsPlaybackControls = true
        controller.exitsFullScreenWhenPlaybackEnds = true
        controller.allowsPictureInPicturePlayback = true
        
        return controller
    }
    
    func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIViewController, context: Context) {
        
        
    }
}
