I've been using the init(items: [AVPlayerItem]) method of AVQueuePlayer to play local music, and it has been working well from iOS 14 to iOS 16 without any playback gaps. However, I just upgraded my iPhone 12 to iOS 17, and there are gaps when playing music. I also tested it on an iPhone 15 Pro, and it has the same issue. Interestingly, there is no such problem when running it on the iOS 17 simulator.
