## Overview

Overview AVSystemRouteSession manages a single media playback session on a remote device. Create a session to initiate playback on a connected device, communicate with a remote application, and control the lifecycle of the remote playback experience. To use a session: Create an AVSystemRouteSession with a URL and launch mode Add the session to an AVSystemRoute using addSession(_:) Start the session with start() Use the returned AVSystemRouteMediaSession to communicate with the remote device Call stop() when playback ends to clean up resources Sessions are single-use. After calling stop(), the session cannot be restarted or added to another route. Create a new AVSystemRouteSession for each new playback. Reporting Playback Metadata Report playback metadata to MPNowPlayingInfoCenter to ensure the system displays accurate information about the current media across a person’s devices and in system UI.
