Getting error when trying to use AVPictureInPictureController in iOS 13 or tvOS 13

Question

I have small app which runs on iOS and tvOS where I’m displaying a video in UIView.It does support iOS 12 and tvOS 12. Now want to show PIP for tvOS hence trying to use AVPictureInPictureController gives error “Use of undeclared identifier 'AVPictureInPictureController”.

Even though deployment target set to tvOS 13. In Xcode, capabilities -> Background mode -> enabled “ Audio,Airplay and Picture In Picture”. This basic code gives error.

#import <AVKit/AVKit.h>
if ([AVPictureInPictureController isPictureInPictureSupported]) {
   // code 
}

Any other settings missing or something else I need do ?

Thanks
