With a joined PTChannelManager channel and setAccessoryButtonEventsEnabled(true) completing successfully, what supported condition makes a classic Bluetooth headset's AVRCP Play event start PTT transmission instead of routing to a media app? The headset microphone and physical Stop button work. The next physical Start press produces no didBeginTransmittingFrom callback, while an on-screen Start request works again. Tested environment Observed on 3 October 2026: iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 26.6.1. Xcode 26.6, macOS 26.5.2. boAt Rockerz 255 Pro+, classic Bluetooth A2DP/HFP. Push to Talk capability, microphone permission, and audio/push-to-talk background modes enabled. Default half-duplex transmission mode and Ready service status retained. Isolation and setup The reproduction uses an independent UIKit controller initialized before the host app runtime. No React Native, Expo audio module, Live Activity, MPRemoteCommandCenter, Now Playing metadata, audio player, transcription, or backend participates. The controller retains its channel manager, leaves a restored channel before joining a fresh channel, and enables accessory button events in didJoinChannel. The revised test configures the audio session at launch, before manager initialization: let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .voiceChat, options: [.allowBluetoothHFP]) The relevant join callback is: func channelManager(_ channelManager: PTChannelManager, didJoinChannel channelUUID: UUID, reason: PTChannelJoinReason) { channelManager.setAccessoryButtonEventsEnabled(true, channelUUID: channelUUID) { error in // The test logs successful completion here. } } PTT owns audio activation/deactivation; the diagnostic never calls setActive. In didActivate, it reapplies the same category/mode/options, clears a speaker override, selects an available HFP input, waits for the route to settle, and starts an AVAudioEngine input tap. It verifies HFP input/output and incoming frame counts; samples are discarded. It removes the tap and stops the engine on Stop/deactivation. The full focused sample was already supplied privately to DTS. Its controller was tested on the physical phone through the native-only launch path. The standalone Xcode project packaging passed an unsigned iPhoneOS build, but has not independently been installed on the phone. Reproduction Connect the headset, launch the diagnostic, grant microphone permission, and join a fresh PTT channel. Confirm that enabling accessory events succeeds. Tap on-screen Start, which calls requestBeginTransmitting(channelUUID:). Wait for HFP input/output and incoming audio frames to be verified. Press and release the headset multifunction button. The delegate reports didEndTransmittingFrom with handsfree/headset source (raw 3); PTT deactivates audio and the channel remains joined. Press and release the same headset button again. Expected: PTT begin callback and microphone activation. Observed: no begin callback; Console shows AVRCP Play routed to Music. Tap on-screen Start again: transmission works. Headset Stop works again. Selected evidence The revised launch-configuration test produced this native trace on 3 October (UTC): 04:32:10 launch: native-only; launch audio configuration v2 04:32:10 category=PlayAndRecord; mode=VoiceChat; options=4 04:32:11 fresh channel joined 04:32:11 accessory mapping accepted 04:32:19 app start requested 04:32:19 BEGIN source=2 04:32:20 available inputs=MicrophoneBuiltIn,BluetoothHFP 04:32:20 discard engine running 04:32:21 HEADSET VERIFIED: BluetoothHFP input/output; frames=4096 04:32:22 END source=3 04:32:23 audio deactivated No physical-headset BEGIN appeared in the native event snapshot copied at 04:32:49 UTC. Selected Console observations from the same run, converted from IST to UTC: 04:32:30.529053 AVRCP Play routed to com.apple.Music 04:32:30.535720 Music launch failed: NotFound 04:32:35.852134 the same command timed out after 5.326288 seconds Music had been removed during troubleshooting. Before removal, the user observed Music opening; the supplied timestamped excerpts were captured after removal. Removal explains the launch failure, but does not explain why the joined PTT channel is bypassed. An earlier native-only fresh-channel control also showed Play routing to Music before any app-requested transmission, with no BEGIN or audio activation in the callback trace. That earlier control configured the category in didActivate; it was not a fresh-start test of the revised launch-configuration variant. The revised test above establishes that configuring the category at launch did not fix the post-Stop failure. Questions I reviewed the accessory mapping explanation in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/804205 and the launch audio configuration guidance in WWDC22 session 10117. Is a discrete AVRCP Play command from this type of consumer headset supported for PTT Start in this state, or is a different command form required? Does the playback-mode qualifier in that forum guidance require an additional supported setup step? Could the category/route sequence described above bypass accessory mapping despite successful completion? What targeted diagnostic or controlled configuration would distinguish accessory-command compatibility from an iOS routing defect? The observations establish a routing/callback mismatch in this tested configuration; I am not assuming an iOS defect or that the headset is unsupported.

We are trying to play consecutive Apple Music videos in Picture in Picture from a native iOS app. Our minimal reproduction uses one WKWebView, one MusicKit JS v3 instance and one preloaded queue. There are no parallel players or transitions implemented by our app. Setup: Inline playback enabled; allowsPictureInPictureMediaPlayback reads true. UIBackgroundModes includes audio. Initial PiP is opened through a user gesture and works correctly. Reproduced on iOS 26.6.2 and iOS 27.0; failure details vary between runs. await music.setQueue({ musicVideos: ["1445284008", "1258705880", "290361007"] }); await music.play(); The user opens PiP, goes to the Home screen and lets the first video finish naturally. At the queue boundary, MusicKit replaces its HTMLVideoElement. The existing PiP window closes, and the next video does not inherit the presentation. We also tested requesting PiP once on the new element, after it becomes ready, including a variant waiting for playing. In affected background runs, the element briefly reports the WebKit PiP mode, then receives leavepictureinpicture without enterpictureinpicture. The standard requestPictureInPicture() promise remains pending during observation. Native logs report a failed new PiP start while the source scene is backgrounded. The equivalent explicit handoff succeeds in the foreground. In one background configuration, the next video continued audibly, while the PiP window still closed. Explicit native playback audio-session configuration did not resolve the continuity issue. Is there a supported way to: Preserve the underlying media element/PiP presentation across MusicKit queue items? Transfer an existing PiP session to the replacement element while backgrounded? Obtain a reliable error or rejection when native PiP startup fails but the JavaScript promise remains pending? We can provide a minimal reproducer and correlated JavaScript/native logs.

Our music player plays library and Apple Music catalog content with MusicKit's ApplicationMusicPlayer. On the Mac, we want a volume slider that changes only our app's playback level, like the slider in Music.app. We found no supported way to do this: ApplicationMusicPlayer and MusicPlayer have no volume property. The audio plays in com.apple.MediaPlayer.RemotePlayerService, not in our process, so we cannot change the stream level. MPVolumeView and the deprecated MPMusicPlayerController.volume control the system output volume, not the app's level. AVPlayer cannot play Apple Music catalog content. Questions: Is there a supported API to set the playback volume of ApplicationMusicPlayer on macOS or Mac Catalyst? If there is none, what does Apple recommend for Mac apps that need an app-level volume control for MusicKit playback?

We are developing CameraDirector, an iPhone application that controls external professional cameras through documented vendor APIs and reads back native recording state. We want an AirPods camera-remote press to request record start/stop on the selected external camera, then provide audible confirmation only after the camera reports its state. In external-camera control mode, the app would be in the foreground but would not be capturing video from an iPhone camera. The WWDC25 session 'Enhancing your camera experience with capture controls' states that AVCaptureEventInteraction (or SwiftUI's onCameraCaptureEvent) requires an active AVCaptureSession and does not receive events when the app is backgrounded: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/253/ Is there a supported configuration for receiving AirPods capture events in this external-camera mode without running a local iPhone camera capture? Does an active audio-only AVCaptureSession qualify, or does event delivery require an active video-camera input? If this is outside the intended API contract, is there another supported input path for this use case, or should we file an enhancement request? We have not yet established an on-device AirPods result for this configuration. We would appreciate guidance on the intended architecture or a relevant sample and can provide a focused reproducer for an implementation issue. Related capture-event implementation discussion: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/740616 Thank you, Eddie DaRoza ACTION Cinema Technologies

We are developing a voice call application that uses AVRoutePickerView, allowing users to switch between an iPhone, a speaker, and Bluetooth earphones. However, we have encountered an intermittent issue: when switching from the speaker to Bluetooth earphones, the earphones remain in a loading state, and the audio channel subsequently switches back to the speaker. How can we resolve this issue? Here is the sample code: let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() do { try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default, options: [.allowBluetooth]) try session.overrideOutputAudioPort(isBluetoothConnected ? .none : .speaker) try session.setPreferredSampleRate(48000) try session.setPreferredIOBufferDuration(0.02) try session.setActive(true, options: []) INFO(" >>> start: hasBluetooth=\(isBluetoothConnected), inputs: \(session.currentRoute.inputs.map { $0.portType }) outputs: \(session.currentRoute.outputs.map { $0.portType })") } catch { ERROR("(error.localizedDescription)") }

On an iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) running iPadOS 27.0 (24A437), ScreenCaptureKit delivers a maximum of 60 frames per second when capturing the entire screen, even while an app is rendering at 120 fps (confirmed with the Metal Performance HUD). What I tested: Default configuration: exactly 60 fps, with every frame timestamp spaced 16.67ms apart. Setting minimumFrameInterval to 1/120 and queueDepth to 8, both before starting the stream and through updateConfiguration after it started: the values are accepted and read back correctly, but delivery stays at exactly 60 fps. Smaller output sizes (1/4 and 1/8 of native resolution): still 60 fps. ReplayKit broadcast upload extension: also exactly 60 fps. Also, minimumFrameInterval and queueDepth are documented as available on iOS/iPadOS 27, but the iOS 27 SDK marks them as unavailable. Request: please allow ScreenCaptureKit to capture at the display's full refresh rate (up to 120 fps) on ProMotion devices when minimumFrameInterval asks for it, and make minimumFrameInterval available in the iOS SDK.

We are developing an iOS app that plays individual prerecorded spoken-audio files in response to background triggers. The user explicitly enables this functionality while the app is in the foreground. Subsequently, playback may need to start while the app is backgrounded or the device is locked, with silent intervals between files. For this question, please assume that the app is legitimately executing in the background when a trigger arrives. We are not asking how to wake a suspended app or keep it running artificially. Desired behavior Temporarily interrupt other media playback while an audio file is playing. Release the audio session afterwards, allowing the other app to resume. Repeat this for subsequent triggers without requiring foreground interaction. We do not need to override phone calls, Siri, or other higher-priority system audio. Current configuration try session.setCategory( .playback, mode: .voicePrompt, options: [.duckOthers, .interruptSpokenAudioAndMixWithOthers] ) try session.setActive(true) After playback finishes: try session.setActive( false, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation ) This provides ducking for other music playback. However, we would prefer non-mixing playback during each file. We are considering .playback with .spokenAudio and no mixing options, but Apple's documentation describes cannotInterruptOthers when attempting to activate a non-mixable session from the background. Questions Is there a supported audio-session lifecycle that allows this intermittent, non-mixing background playback after the user initially enables the feature in the foreground? If we deactivate the session between files, does the background activation restriction apply again to every subsequent file, regardless of the earlier user interaction? Does implementing a CarPlay audio app with the appropriate entitlement change these restrictions? In particular, is there a distinction between playback explicitly initiated through the CarPlay interface and later background-triggered playback? If this behavior is not supported, is ducking/mixing the recommended approach for this use case? We want to use public APIs and avoid silent playback or retaining an active audio session solely to prevent other apps from playing. Any clarification on the intended behavior and recommended configuration would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and guidance! regards, Carsten :-)

Hello, I am developing a non-commercial, web-based music intro quiz using MusicKit on the Web and Apple Music. Before proceeding with development and potentially making the application publicly available, I would like to clarify whether the following implementation complies with Apple’s MusicKit and Apple Music terms. Planned implementation: Each participant authenticates with their own Apple Music account and must have an active subscription. Music is streamed directly from Apple Music to each participant’s device through MusicKit. My server only sends Apple Music song IDs and playback control messages. No audio files are downloaded, stored, modified, redistributed, or transmitted through my server. When the host starts a question, the application triggers playback on each participant’s device. Playback automatically stops after approximately five seconds, allowing participants to guess the song. The application is initially intended for private, non-commercial use with approximately 5–10 participants. I may eventually make it publicly available for online multiplayer sessions. My questions are: Is it permitted for a host to remotely trigger MusicKit playback on other participants’ devices, provided each participant has authenticated with their own Apple Music account? Does automatically stopping playback after approximately five seconds violate any MusicKit playback requirements? Is using Apple Music playback as part of a music identification quiz or game permitted? Would sending song IDs and playback commands to multiple devices be considered prohibited synchronization of Apple Music content, even though each device streams the audio independently? If this implementation is not permitted, would requiring each participant to manually initiate playback make the application compliant, assuming all other requirements are satisfied? Are there any additional licensing requirements or permissions necessary before making this type of application publicly available? I understand that MusicKit has requirements concerning user-initiated playback, standard playback controls, and synchronization with other content. I would particularly appreciate clarification on how these requirements apply to this use case. If this forum is not the appropriate place for questions about MusicKit licensing and permitted use, could someone please direct me to the appropriate Apple team or contact point? Thank you for your time and guidance.

Hello, I am building a Windows desktop application that lets users migrate their own playlists between music services. Apple currently documents automatic Music User Token management for Apple platforms and web apps, and manual token management for Android. I could not find a documented native Windows authorization flow. My proposed architecture is: Windows desktop app → system browser → MusicKit on the Web authorization → return authorization to the same Windows desktop app. The desktop app would then call Apple Music API directly using a developer token issued by my backend and the user authorization obtained through MusicKit. My questions are: Is there a supported way for a Windows desktop app to obtain a Music User Token through MusicKit on the Web and then use that token from the desktop process? Is handing the token back from the browser to the same Windows device supported? If yes, is there a recommended handoff mechanism or lifecycle/refresh guidance? Is secure local storage of that Music User Token on Windows supported? I am not asking about playback. The intended usage is only reading the user’s playlists and creating playlists through Apple Music API. The Media Services private key would remain server-side and would never be shipped with the desktop application. Thank you.

I am building a personal iPhone prototype with an on-screen record platter. Before enrolling in the Apple Developer Program or developing the Apple Music integration further, I would like to establish whether the core interaction is supported by public APIs. The intended interaction is: Tap the platter to play or pause an Apple Music subscription song. Hold the platter to stop playback at its current position. Move the platter forward or backward to control the direction and speed of audible playback continuously. Change pitch together with speed, like a physical record, rather than preserving the original pitch. Release the platter to smoothly return to normal playback. Hold a separate control to listen continuously at a faster speed. A prototype using an AVAudioEngine-based renderer works with unprotected local audio. I have NOT verified these behaviors with Apple Music subscription content. I understand that this local renderer does not establish feasibility for MusicKit, and I am not seeking to extract protected audio or bypass content protection. MusicPlayer.State.playbackRate is documented as settable, with positive values for forward playback and negative values for reverse playback: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickit/musicplayer/state-swift.class/playbackrate For ApplicationMusicPlayer on iOS, is this vinyl-style interaction supported for full Apple Music subscription songs, rather than previews or user-owned unprotected files? In particular: What playback-rate range is supported for subscription songs? Do negative rates produce audible reverse playback, and how should zero-speed holding be implemented? Is there a documented public API to make pitch follow playback speed, or to disable pitch preservation? Are frequent rate and direction changes supported for interactive scratching? Are there documented limitations on update frequency, buffering, seeking precision or responsiveness? If this interaction is outside public MusicKit capabilities, is there an official channel where an individual developer can ask about eligibility for an approved Apple Music DJ integration? I am asking for the supported API path and its limitations, not implementation details of another app. If only ordinary variable-speed playback or seeking is supported, a clear distinction from continuous vinyl-style scratching would be very helpful. The initial goal is personal use; possible App Store distribution is undecided. I have an active Apple Music subscription but am not currently enrolled in the paid Apple Developer Program. Thank you.

Our iOS app plays Apple Music catalog videos using MusicKit JS v3 in WKWebView. We use a WebView, with the current video visible. Tests are on an iPhone 16e running iOS 26.6.2, built with SDK 27.1. Inline playback and PiP are allowed, background audio is enabled, and the system’s automatic PiP setting is on. A real button click calling video.requestPictureInPicture() successfully opens PiP, which continues playing when returning to the Home Screen. However, leaving the app without opening PiP manually produces audio only. We tested both public video PiP APIs, including an early request from UIScene.willDeactivateNotification. In the latest trace, AVKit reports a visible, supported and eligible source, then reads ForegroundInactive and immediately reports “Failed to start picture in picture.” The video briefly reports PiP mode before returning inline; no PiP window appears. Our WebKit audio session also changes from ambient to auto on deactivation; its contribution has not been isolated. Is automatic inline PiP supported for MusicKit JS videos in WKWebView? Is there a supported configuration or initialization hook to prepare it while the scene is still active? We do not own WebKit’s underlying controller to set canStartPictureInPictureAutomaticallyFromInline. What lifecycle and audio-session setup does Apple recommend? If this behavior is unexpected, which minimal reproduction and diagnostics would help DTS investigate?

For an AUv3 plug-in of type kAudioUnitType_MIDIProcessor how is the plug-in supposed to figure out the sample rate of the host? I think this might be an API limitation. For instruments and effects, we can read the AUAudioUnit's output bus format and check the sample rate. But MIDI FX plug-ins have no audio I/O. And even if I set them, Logic Pro, for example, doesn't update the AU if I change the sample rate in Logic. Looking at AVAudioSession.sharedInstance.sampleRate doesn't work either, because the host can have a different sample rate from the hardware. Is there a solution to this that I'm not aware of?

Question: Camera Permission Reset and NSInternalInconsistencyException on iOS 26 We’ve recently started seeing an issue in our production app: NSInternalInconsistencyException "Call must be made on the main thread" We were able to reproduce the issue by manually revoking/resetting the Camera permission so that its state changes back to notDetermined. This raises a few questions: Does iOS 26 automatically revoke or reset previously granted permissions in certain scenarios? Has Apple introduced any changes to the permission or privacy policy in iOS 26? Is there any known behavior where an existing Camera permission can unexpectedly return to the notDetermined state after an OS update? Has anyone else encountered a similar issue in production after updating to iOS 26? We couldn’t find any clear or recent documentation from Apple that explains a change in this behavior. Has anyone experienced this issue or found any relevant Apple documentation explaining the permission-state changes in iOS 26?

How can I tell which DNG opcode belongs to which OpcodeList for a RAW image captured by AVPhotoOutput? I couldn't find any of the OpcodeList1, OpcodeList2 or OpcodeList3 tags in the DNG metadata inside AVCapturePhoto.metadata, but when exporting the photo into a DNG file to disk and extracting that DNG file's metadata using exiftool on a computer, I could see the opcodes in their respective opcode lists. Can I get the opcode lists without exporting into DNG data representation and then parsing the DNG file?

In the old simulator you were able to simply drag a photo or video from your desktop into the photos app within the simulator in order to use it for testing. That doesn't seem to be working yet in Device Hub. Is there a workaround or are we just waiting on this to be fixed?

Since iOS 27 beta we are seeing a behavior change in our video streaming app and I would like to know whether others can reproduce it. Behavior on iOS 27 beta: Fully opening the Notification Center pauses playback. Audio continues for about 5 more seconds, then the app is suspended. Closing the Notification Center leaves the player paused. On iOS 26 the same build keeps playing in this situation. Setup: AVQueuePlayer playing video with audio, not muted audiovisualBackgroundPlaybackPolicy = .automatic (default) AVAudioSession category .playback, UIBackgroundModes: audio entitlement AVPictureInPictureController attached with canStartPictureInPictureAutomaticallyFromInline = true Filed as FB23893965 Questions: Can anyone reproduce this on iOS 27 beta? Is this intentional or a regression?

I'm building a podcast app (AVPlayer, .playback + .spokenAudio). When the user asks Siri a non-media question, such as "What is the capital of France?", our audio pauses as expected. But the interruption-ended notification with .shouldResume, and on iOS 27 the resumption recommendation, arrive only when the user dismisses Siri's answer card. If the card is left up, we stay paused indefinitely. Under the same conditions (same device, same question, card left up), these apps resume within a few seconds while the card is still visible: Apple Music Apple Podcasts Pocket Casts (its log shows interruption-ended with shouldResume 3–7 s after began) Overcast Our app, installed through TestFlight, and a minimal AVPlayer sample both wait for dismissal. What we've ruled out (each changed one variable, no effect): Mode .spokenAudio vs .default (with .default, playback continues but stays ducked until dismissal) Route-sharing policy .longFormAudio vs .default AVPlayer vs AVAudioEngine Calling pause() on interruption vs letting AVPlayer pause itself Now Playing registration on or off Calling setActive(false) 5 s after the interruption began SiriKit: Siri capability plus in-app INPlayMediaIntent handling (Siri found the app and started playback through our handler; no change) Our app responds within 0.05 s once the signal arrives, so the delay is entirely in delivery. AVAudioSession.promptStyle reads .short from Siri's answer until dismissal, then returns to .normal at the same moment our end notification arrives. Seen on iPhone with iOS 27.0 and 27.0.1, and on iPad with iPadOS 26.6, so it isn't new in iOS 27. Questions: What determines whether an interrupted session receives interruption-ended while Siri's answer card is still visible? Is this related to App Store vs TestFlight/development distribution, or is there something an app needs to adopt? A focused sample project is available. I also have an open DTS case on this.

I am a private individual working on a personal panorama viewing and reprojection project. I have been investigating the geometry of panoramas produced by the iPhone Camera app, with extensive analytical and research assistance from OpenAI's ChatGPT. My goal is to determine the physical viewing direction (longitude and latitude, or equivalently a 3-D viewing ray) corresponding to each pixel in a finished iPhone panorama. I have been able to recover much of this geometry from information contained in the panorama itself. Controlled tests on several iPhone models indicate that I can accurately determine the effective focal length of the perspective source camera, camera rotation during capture, endpoint geometry, horizontal field of view, and gravity-relative camera orientation. The remaining problem is the absolute vertical/latitude mapping in the finished panorama. The gravity/orientation information allows me to determine where a known physical latitude—for example, the true horizontal plane (0° latitude)—falls in the individual source-camera frames. However, I have not found a documented way to determine exactly where those source-frame viewing rays are placed vertically in the final panorama bitmap. My investigation suggests that the Camera app performs additional geometric processing during panorama assembly, including geometric/perspective correction and the selection, cropping and/or rotation of image slices before they are blended into the panorama. What I have not been able to determine is whether the information needed to reconstruct that source-ray-to-finished-pixel mapping is retained anywhere in the finished panorama or is available through a supported Apple API. My primary question is therefore: Is there a documented or supported way to determine the physical viewing ray corresponding to each pixel in a panorama produced by the iPhone Camera app, including its absolute vertical/latitude mapping? More specifically: Is the projection used for the finished Camera panorama documented? Is the gravity-relative orientation or vertical reference of that projection available through supported metadata or an API? Is sufficient information retained in the panorama to reconstruct the geometric correction and placement applied to source images/slices during panorama assembly? If that information is not retained in the finished image, is there another supported framework or API that provides it during or after panorama capture? I am not trying to reproduce Apple's image blending or other proprietary image-processing algorithms. I simply want to interpret the geometry of the finished image accurately enough to reproject it—for example, to cylindrical or equirectangular coordinates—and assign physical longitude and latitude to its pixels. I have controlled test panoramas from multiple iPhone generations and considerably more technical detail about the investigation. I would be happy to provide example files, measurements, or additional information if that would be helpful. Even confirmation that the required vertical-placement information is not retained or exposed would be very useful.

Hello, I am an undergraduate student working on a non-commercial university capstone project. I would like to clarify whether it is permitted to: Temporarily stream the 30-second preview audio provided through the iTunes Search API and process it in memory using the Essentia audio analysis library to extract numerical audio features. Store only the extracted numerical audio features (such as BPM, key, energy, and timbre) in a database, while immediately discarding the original preview audio after analysis. Could you please confirm whether this use of the previewUrl is permitted under Apple's terms and guidelines? Thank you.

I want to hide only the Cancel button of a modally presented SwiftUI PhotosPicker, so I'm using .photosPickerDisabledCapabilities(.selectionActions) with the default selection behavior: .photosPicker(isPresented: $isPresented, selection: $selection, maxSelectionCount: 5, matching: .images, photoLibrary: .shared()) .photosPickerDisabledCapabilities(.selectionActions) Cancel goes away as expected, but Add (the checkmark) stops working. Tapping it does nothing, the picker stays up and isPresented never becomes false. Pulling the sheet down doesn't close it either, so there is no way out of the picker. Without the modifier, Add works. WWDC23 session 10107 says that without continuous selection only Cancel is hidden and Add stays, so I expected Add to keep working. Seen on both the simulator (iOS 26.1 and 27.0) and a physical device, with Xcode 26.1.1, with and without preselected items. Q1. On a modal PhotosPicker, .photosPickerDisabledCapabilities(.selectionActions) hides Cancel, but Add then does nothing and the picker cannot be dismissed, not even by pulling it down. Is this a bug, or am I misusing the API? Q2. This is about the default modal PhotosPicker with both X and Add shown, without .photosPickerDisabledCapabilities(.selectionActions). With preselected assets, the callback returns the same result whether the user taps Add, taps X, or pulls the sheet down. Are there plans to provide a way to tell them apart?
