If Apple Music is playing when my app starts up and I define the category - Apple Music pauses.
If I start Apple Music after my app is running, I get Apple Music to duck while my audio plays, but Apple Music remains ducked after my audio completes. * try audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient, with: [.duckOthers])* I would assume that the audio would come back up. And wouldn't think my app would pause Apple Music when it starts up...
