Feature Request: State restoration

What would the proper VC creation sequence be to achieve this? I can store the currentTrack data to parse as demonstrated in AppDelegate, but that schema doesn’t hold true for da Phish.

Cheers & thanks

This is something I've wanted in Relisten for a while. I have a branch where I started working on things, but then I found out that the state restoration story from Apple has changed. It looks like we want to switch to using UIScene and NSUserActivity and the system should take care of most of this for us.

Switching to UIScene is also necessary for the latest CarPlay API (#193), so that's something we'll need to before the old API is completely removed.

My memory is a bit fuzzy about where I left the state restoration work, but I remember that untangling the setup of AGAudioPlayer was one of the big parts. There's probably a fork in that repository with some work in progress that would still apply in the new world of NSUserActivity

Thanks for the update on that, same thoughts. I've got the session to resume playing; Updating the UI to display the show is difficult but possible with what's there now I think. I'll enjoy giving it another try the hard way to learn the codebase a bit better. It took Apple Music until this year to get it right, so I'm not rushing it 😉
