Axiom Now Playing

If you've ever fought with iOS Now Playing not showing up or commands failing silently, this is the fix. It tackles the four most common issues on iOS 18+: missing info, broken commands, artwork problems, and state sync failures. The core insight is that 90% of Now Playing bugs come from getting the activation order wrong or missing command handlers, not actual API issues. You need three things working together: AVAudioSession activation, remote command handlers, and metadata publishing. Miss any one and the whole system breaks silently. Built for Swift 6.0+ and pulls from WWDC 2022 session 110338 to handle the system's heuristics correctly. Already has 168 installs and 948 GitHub stars, so people are clearly hitting this pain point.
