Ionic Capacitor iOs: Media create INVALID (https url)

[anonymze]

Hello and thank you for your awesome work !

Bug Report

Problem

On iOs, the song is not playing and i got an error on the Xcode's console. I create my media with an https URL where i get my audio file (it can be a .mp3 or a .wav file).

What is expected to happen?

It should be playing the song, it works like a charm on Android.

What does actually happen?

I got this error on the Xcode's console (i suppose it is related to why it's not working):

Command or Code

There is my url where i get the audio file: https://api.viny.club/post/file/47678658-88ab-4f6e-97f1-31d65b4cf152

My code:

import { Media, MediaObject } from '@ionic-native/media/ngx';

export class MediaService {
  file: MediaObject;

 constructor(private media: Media, ...){}
  
  initMedia(fileId) {
    this.file = this.media.create(fileUrl);

    this.file.onStatusUpdate.subscribe((status) => {
       ...
      // status 2 is detected but NO SOUND is played
      // status 3 detected too, status 1 and 4 not detected
    });

    this.playMedia();
  }

  playMedia(): void {
    if (this.file instanceof MediaObject) { // not necessary but for safety
      this.file.play({ playAudioWhenScreenIsLocked: false }); // i tried without the ios option too
    }
  }
}

Environment, Platform, Device

Ionic + Capacitor / iOs / emulator iPhone on Xcode (tried on iPhone 11 and 12).

The issue seems related to this one: #324
But the fix didn't work for me. I added this in CDVSound.m (line 398):

 if (audioFile.rate != nil){
                       float customRate = [audioFile.rate floatValue];
                       NSLog(@"Playing stream with AVPlayer & custom rate");
                       [avPlayer setRate:customRate];
 } else {
                      NSLog(@"Playing stream with AVPlayer & default rate");
                      avPlayer.automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling = true; // i added this line !
                      [avPlayer play];
 }

Hello,

Same result with a https URL.

I assume you switch BasicAuth on/off for testing, or use an IP-based filter? I only get 401 for both http and https.
