iOS SDK Session Manager sometimes puts the Spotify app into an unrecoverable state.

Plan: Premium

Country: USA

Device: iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 11

Operating System: iOS 13

Sometimes when calling STPSessionManager.initiateSession(...) with a playURI specified in the options, the session is initiated successfully but music does not play in the app.

The app shows a song playing, with the timer incrementing and the pause button visible, but no sound plays.

Obviously this proves problematic for my team when we go to hit the Web API and no active devices are found.

The Spotify app remains in this state until another song is played or the Spotify app is terminated.
