PIP is not working in background

Hi,

We have implement pip in our code using AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer in our view and using this guideline https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/avpictureinpicturesamplebufferplaybackdelegate. Every thing seems working fine but when app goes in background then video view freeze. if app is in foreground then it is working fine.

@vnsvirendra Based on the information you provided, it looks like the PIP feature is working fine when the app is in the foreground, but when the app goes into the background, the video view freezes. Is that correct?

If that's the case, it's important to note that PIP functionality is not supported when the app is in the background. According to Apple's documentation, "Picture in Picture is not supported in the background. If you start Picture in Picture and your app moves to the background, Picture in Picture stops."

So, unfortunately, it's expected behavior that the PIP feature will not work when the app is in the background.
