Using headset (Airpods) on iPhone devices sometimes causes track player bugs

[ivona314]

Description We have gotten various reports from our users that using Airpods on iPhone devices causes track player bugs.

Steps To Reproduce Specifically, a user reported that when they pause an audio track directly on their headphones, then the audio does stop but the track seemingly "keeps playing" on their app, but without audio. There is no way for them to get the audio back in their headphones (so pressing play on the headphones doesn't work) - they have to completely close down the app. Also, other controls like forwarding the track don't work in this case as well.

Code To Reproduce We don't really know what could be causing this issue in our code.

I am unable to replicate this issue on my own devices. What can I do to debug this? Are there any other known issues that could be causing this?
