flutter audio_service and just_audio not working on ios

Question

I have list of song on song screen. If user click the one item in the list, I call the loadFirstPlaylist() to load the list of songs(all song in album) into queue and then skip the queue and play. It is working on android but I got following error on iOS. GitHub Sources Code [NowPlaying] [MRNowPlaying] Ignoring setPlaybackState because application does not contain entitlement com.apple.mediaremote.set-playback-state for platform

Future<void> loadFirstPlayList(List<MediaItem> playlist, int index) async {
    await emptyPlaylist();
    if (playlist.isNotEmpty) {
      await _audioHandler.addQueueItems(playlist);
      await _audioHandler.skipToQueueItem(index);
      await _audioHandler.play();
   }
}

Audio Handler Method

@override
Future<void> addQueueItems(List<MediaItem> mediaItems) async {
    // manage Just Audio
    final audioSource = mediaItems.map(_createAudioSource);
    _playlist.addAll(audioSource.toList());

    // notify system
    final newQueue = queue.value..addAll(mediaItems);
    queue.add(newQueue);
}

@override
Future<void> skipToQueueItem(int index) async {
    if (index < 0 || index >= queue.value.length) return;
    if (_player.shuffleModeEnabled) {
      index = _player.shuffleIndices![index];
    }
    _player.seek(Duration.zero, index: index);
 }

@override
Future<void> play() => _player.play();

I do not know if you have figured it out or not already. However, I had the same issue when trying to load an empty playlist. I was following this example, which includes a _loadEmptyPlaylist method. However, when I implemented it this caused the player to fail silently. It now seems to be working by not calling loadAudioSource on an empty audio sequence.
