[BUG] PiP not working on iOS

README.md

@@ -409,6 +409,7 @@ If you use a different provider for DRM or this does not work for your use case,
 1. Read and understand the requirements for PiP in the [iOS SDK](https://docs.jwplayer.com/players/docs/ios-invoke-picture-in-picture-playback). PiP mode is enabled by JWP for the `PlayerViewController`.
 2. (viewOnly:true only) Set the `pipEnabled` prop to `true`.
 3. (viewOnly:true only) Call `togglePIP()` to enable or disable PiP.
+4. Ensure [category](/docs//legacy_readme.md#audiosessioncategory) and/or [categoryOptions](/docs//legacy_readme.md#audiosessioncategoryoptions) prop(s) are set to define and configure your media. This is required to setup the audio session. If `category` is not defined but `pipEnabled` is set true, we default to the standard `playback` category to avoid crashing.
