Music plays alongside sounds but pauses music upon initial launch. How to let background music keep playing when launched?

Question

I followed this post: SKAction playSoundFileNamed stops background music and it worked in that background music was no longer paused when SK sound actions were run.

Unfortunately thought music is still stopped when the app is launched initially. I also tried code from another post (background device music gets stopped as app starts ios) but that either didn't work.

How do I stop my app from pausing music upon the initial launch? Maybe I am not placing my code in the right location?

Code:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?


    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.
        do {
            try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient)
        } catch _ {
        }
        return true
    }
}

Thanks!

EDIT 1 (for use from comments)

func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) { // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface. do { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryAmbient) } catch _ { } do { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) } catch _ { } }

post some code and we could tell you, that is exactly how to keep music playing — Knight0fDragon, Sep 19 '16 at 19:36
No, you need to set active to true in the shared instance, look at the 2nd example you provided — Knight0fDragon, Sep 21 '16 at 11:19
I put ```do { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) } catch _ { }``` inside the applicationDidBecomeActive and it did not work. I also put it inside the didFinishingLaunching function and it did not work. Where should I put it? — lelephant, Sep 21 '16 at 12:26
Hey. Just updated my post with what my new code looks like. Had to convert to new swift but otherwise it's what that posts 1st answer says to do — lelephant, Sep 21 '16 at 12:45
