I have verified that the bug is not already awaiting release

Yes

What was the Problem?

iOS App
If listening via Bluetooth & I pause, ABS closes. (lockscreen widget is closed)
I have to re-launch the app, select the book and press Play.
IsoTunes Pro 2.0, IsoTunes Air Defender, Anker Souncore Liberty 4 NC, Toyota 2012 Headunit.

There is one exception, Soundcore Life Q30. When using these, if I pause for less than 5 minutes or so, I can unpause and it pickes right back up. More than 5 minutes or so, the app has to be re-opened again.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Connect iPhone to bluetooth audio.
Open ABS and play a book.
Pause playback from the BT headphones or car audio.
Unpausing from the audio device does not play the audiobook. App is not on the lock screen. App must be opened, book selected, and press play.

What was Expected?

When pausing from BT device, the lockscreen widget should remain open.
Pressing play from BT audio device should un-pause the playback.

Phone Model

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 8

Phone OS

16 - 18

Audiobookshelf App Version

iOS App - 0.9.81

Installation Source

Testflight

Additional Notes

This has been a continuous issue since I first got ABS in late 2023

I have the same issue on Android, interestingly. S22 Ultra on android 15.

Not able to reproduce this with Airpod Pros. I'll try with other bluetooth headphones. Does it reproduct 100% of the time for you, or only sometimes? Is the app always closed, or is it sometimes still open (with a red error chip)?

I'm wondering if this and #1385 and #1022 are all related issues.
