“Popping Sound”

Hi, In Apple Music on CarPlay, there is a Search button shown next to the Now Playing (NPS) button in the top navigation bar. Tapping this Search button activates Siri voice search. I want to understand: Does CarPlay allow third-party audio apps to add a similar Search button in the top bar (next to the Now Playing button)? Which can be used to trigger Siri from the screen UI (not steering-wheel button or “Hey Siri”)? Is there any supported approach for screen-based Siri activation other than the guidance here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/cplisttemplate#Integrating-Siri-Into-Your-Template-App Basically, is the Apple Music search/Siri button a publicly available CarPlay capability, or is it system-reserved?

Hi, Has anyone been able to protect the audio part of FairPlay protected content from being captured as part of screen recording on Safari/iOS (PWA and/or online web app)? We have tried many things but could not prevent the audio from being recorded. Same app and content on Safari/Mac does not allow audio to be recorded. Any tips?

When rendering an equirectangular video on a sphere using VideoMaterial and MeshResource.generateSphere(), there is a visible black seam line running vertically on the sphere. This appears to be at the UV seam where the texture coordinates wrap from 1.0 back to 0.0. The same video file plays without any visible seam in other 360° video players on Vision Pro, so the issue is not with the video content itself. Here is the relevant code: private func createVideoSphere(content: RealityViewContent, player: AVPlayer) { let sphere = MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 1000) let material = VideoMaterial(avPlayer: player) let entity = ModelEntity(mesh: sphere, materials: [material]) entity.scale *= .init(x: -1, y: 1, z: 1) // Flip to render on inside content.add(entity) player.play() } The setup is straightforward: MeshResource.generateSphere(radius: 1000) generates the sphere mesh VideoMaterial(avPlayer:) provides the video texture X scale is flipped to -1 so the texture renders on the inside of the sphere The video

I have a BLE device which my app connects to and can detect button presses. On a button press, I want my app to start recording using the AudioRecordingIntent. But my app doesn't work and throws a background error. Is there any reliable way I can get the app to start recording audio in the background?

My app Mocawave is a music player distributed through the Mac App Store. It declares specific audio document types (public.mp3, com.microsoft.waveform-audio, public.mpeg-4-audio, public.aac-audio) in its CFBundleDocumentTypes with a Viewer role. When a user sets Mocawave as the default app for audio files and double-clicks an MP3 downloaded from the internet (which has the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute), macOS displays the alert: Apple could not verify [filename] is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. This does not happen when: Opening the same file via NSOpenPanel from within the app Opening the same file with Apple's Music.app or QuickTime Player The app is: Distributed through the Mac App Store Sandboxed (com.apple.security.app-sandbox) Uses com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write entitlement The file being opened is a regular audio file (MP3), not an executable. Since the app is sandboxed and distribut

I attempted to register with ADP from the developer app. After entering my driver's license, address, and name, a pop-up appeared stating “There may be an issue with your account.” Subsequently, the “Register Now” button for ADP within the app became inactive. What could this account issue be? I would like to know how to proceed with registering with ADP.

After recent upgrade to 17Pro, CarPlay no longer lists any audio streaming services-Sirrius XM, Pandora, etc. Did Apple recently drop them from CarPlay approval? They all showed prior to upgrade to 17 and iOS26. If not any recs to get them to show again? Thx Jim
