iOS How playing webradio streaming with nativescript-audio plugin? - ios

Question

I am using nativescript to develop a web radio app and nativescript-audio plugin to read the stream. On Android I have no problem but on iOS the method:
sharedSession.dataTaskWithUrlCompletionHandler(URL, function(data,
response, error)) return with error = {}
Here is part of my Info.plist
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>radioking.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
<string>TLSv1.1</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
And here is my url : https://www.radioking.com/play/jobradio
The stream format is mp3
The plugin call :
private player = new TNSPlayer();
public initFromUrl(url : string, autoPlay : boolean = false) {
// Initialize player
this.player.initFromUrl({
audioFile: url,
loop: false,
completeCallback: () => {
this.player.dispose().then(() => { });
},
errorCallback: args => { },
infoCallback: args => { }
}).then(() => {
if (autoPlay) this.player.play();
});
}
Could someone explain me what is wrong ?
Thanks

Finally, I found the solution. As wrote ahead, I replace the AVAudioPlayer by the AVPlayer.
The usefull information in the Info.plist are:
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>radioking.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
And in the plugin, I replace all the code in the playFromUrl by:
TNSPlayer.prototype.playFromUrl = function (options) {
var _this = this;
_this._completeCallback = options.completeCallback;
_this._errorCallback = options.errorCallback;
_this._infoCallback = options.infoCallback;
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
if (options.autoPlay !== false) {
options.autoPlay = true;
}
try {
var audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance();
var output = audioSession.currentRoute.outputs.lastObject.portType;
if (output.match(/Receiver/)) {
try {
audioSession.setCategoryError(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord);
audioSession.overrideOutputAudioPortError(AVAudioSessionPortOverrideSpeaker);
audioSession.setActiveError(true);
common_1.TNS_Player_Log("audioSession category set and active");
}
catch (err) {
common_1.TNS_Player_Log("setting audioSession category failed");
}
}
_this._player = AVPlayer.alloc().initWithURL(NSURL.URLWithString(options.audioFile));
if (_this._player) {
_this._player.delegate = _this;
common_1.TNS_Player_Log("this._player", _this._player);
_this._player.enableRate = true;
_this._player.numberOfLoops = options.loop ? -1 : 0;
if (options.metering) {
common_1.TNS_Player_Log("enabling metering...");
_this._player.meteringEnabled = true;
}
if (options.autoPlay) {
_this._player.play();
}
resolve();
} else {
reject();
}
}
catch (ex) {
if (_this._errorCallback) {
_this._errorCallback({ ex: ex });
}
reject(ex);
}
});
};
With this code, all the controller actions keep working.
online mp3 and web streaming work correctly.
