3. Launch app that activates AVAudioSession and notice that session.currentRoute.outputs.firstObject.portType says Airplay
4. Hold down TV button and put the ATV to sleep
5. Wake up the ATV
6. Launch app that activates AVAudioSession and expect Airplay but see HDMI output
7. Go to home screen and hold down Play button. Airplay option is still selected

Version/Build:

Apple TV 4
tvOS 12.0

Code:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

  var window: UIWindow?


  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    let notificationCenter = NotificationCenter.default
    notificationCenter.addObserver(self,
                                   selector: #selector(handleRouteChange),
                                   name: AVAudioSession.routeChangeNotification,
                                   object: nil)
    return true
  }

  @objc func handleRouteChange(notification: Notification) {
    guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo,
      let reasonValue = userInfo[AVAudioSessionRouteChangeReasonKey] as? UInt,
      let reason = AVAudioSession.RouteChangeReason(rawValue:reasonValue) else {
        return
    }
    print("route changed: reason=\(reason)")
  }

  func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
    let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
    do {
      try session.setActive(false)
    } catch {
      print("deactive error: \(error)")
    }
  }

  func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
    let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
    do {
      try session.setCategory(.playback, mode: .moviePlayback, policy: .longForm)
      try session.setActive(true)
      print("outputs: \(session.currentRoute.outputs)")
    } catch {
      print("reactive error: \(error)")
    }
  }
}

Output:

outputs: [<AVAudioSessionPortDescription: 0x1c000ed20, type = AirPlay; name = AirPlay; UID = 12779568-c588-478e-8019-d3b65ae2c30b; selectedDataSource = (null)>]
<sleep>
<wake>
outputs: [<AVAudioSessionPortDescription: 0x1c000f870, type = HDMIOutput; name = Entertainment Room; UID = 4C2DBA07-0000-0000-2E14-010380593278; selectedDataSource = (null)>]

Same issue :-( Is someone found a fix?

I have exactly the same problem, but i've notice that other apps can correctly output to Airplay after wake up....so it must be a way to avoid this :)

If you find more info about this pls let us know.
