Rive plays unrelated sound

[aednlaxer]

Description

My app plays sounds when user performs certain actions (button clicks etc) and has Rive animations with sound. iOS build has a strange issue: last app sound (which is unrelated to Rive) is played after minimizing-maximizing the app.

I'm able to reproduce it only on iOS and only when running on a physical device (issue is present in both debug and release builds).

Rive file has an embedded sound and audioplayers package is used to play other sounds.

I suspect this could be related to how both rive and audioplayers play audio in the native layer.

Steps To Reproduce

Example app with the issue:

Archive.zip

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In the test app tap the button to play 'button click' sound
2. Play the Rive animation using 'play' button
3. Minimize the app
4. Maximize the app
5. 'Button click' sound is played after app is maximized and without user's action

Source .riv/.rev file

test_riv_rev.zip

Expected behavior

No sound is played after app is maximized
