## Discussion

Discussion Call this function to unregister a session from the route when playback ends or when you no longer need the session. Removing a session stops any ongoing communication associated with that session and releases system resources. If the session is currently active, this function stops the session before removing it. important: Always remove sessions when they are no longer needed to ensure proper cleanup of system resources and network connections. To start new playback after removing a session, create a new AVSystemRouteSession instance.
