Hi, I want to embed song previews in my app when a user shares an apple music link. While using MusikKit getting previews seems to require access to the iCloud Music library, even though I‘m not shure how this is related, since I‘m not acessing user data. Is there any possibility that makes the preview work while neither requiring access to the users library nor a signed jwt?

I updated to iOS 18.4 Beta for Developers today on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It is now acting weird. At first my Apple Music would stop playing whenever I touched my phone. Now it is only doing it whenever I unlock the phone. I have tried restarting the phone. Turning Bluetooth on/off. Tried different Bluetooth connected device. Played music that is download and then streamed. I turned WiFi off and back on again. I am at a loss. I have been researching tips and tricks for hours. Am I truly only left with formatting my phone at this point so it resets to iOS 17?

I wanted a platform that combined apple music and podcasts, so I built one. I'm looking for beta testers currently, please reply if you're interested.

Hi, since the IoT cybersecurity, I need to hide the version of all sevices. For the 7000 port, AirTunes, I can't find the method to hide it. Like tomcat version hide, how can I hide the version of it?

Hi, Is it possible to get the various audio variants for a given song ID, I am unable to find any documentation for this online. In particular, could I see if Dolby Atmos is available for the track? Here is an example of a request I am sending: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/songs/1168770969

I have a new iPhone 15 PRO and some new Usb-C Earphones too, both are 3 days old. Since the first day I have been having this Error 1852797029. I can be listening to music on Apple Music for a while but when I stop it and a while passes without resuming playback, when I resume it it gives me this error and I have to close the App and disconnecting and connecting the earphones again. It's very annoying and I'm very angry that this is happening to me from day one. With both devices completely new. Does anyone have a solution other than connecting and disconnecting the earphones?

Hi. I know that playing videos from Apple Music was not possible with iOS 17. There is only the workaround to open the Music app. My question is whether anybody found a solution for iOS 18 (Beta). Thanks, Dirk

Hello there, I am faced with the following situation: We are building a web app that manages playlists for different platforms, including Apple music We have the concept of teams in there, where a user can be part of multiple teams, and teams are managed by team admin A team admin could manage multiple teams The problem here is, that a team admin wouldn't be able to sign in to the Apple music account for multiple teams because if using the same computer we try to let the user sign in once and store the Music User Token, we can't do another login unless we unauthorized the previous one. Is there anything we can do about this? Thanks

Hi there, I ve Been wondering about getting a 'music user token' for manipulating users playlists. The situation I found myself in is that that can only be done in the front-end, but by exposing the 'developer token' I need to generate, and the 'developer token' is the key to our app, if someone takes that, they can do anything with it, am I wrong? Thanks for your time!

I built an app that makes playing audio plays easier using MusicKit. Now I am about to release the app to the app store. Following questions occured while doing so: Am I accessing/showing third party content in my app when I am music (in this case radio plays) from MusicKit? I am getting all of that data directly from Apple. Is Apple a third party in this case? The publisher has an app that can playback all of the content that can be accessed in my app. This app has an age rating of 4+ years. Can I just copy that? I've heard that referring to other apps doesn't convince the App Review Team if they disagree. None of the titles are marked explicit in Apple Music. Under the hood MusicKit is using HTTPS to get the data from Apple's servers. I have no code that has anything to do with encryption or HTTPS. Does my app still uses Non Exempt Encryption because MusicKit does so? Can I access music through MusicKit that is otherwise not available in this region or does MusicKit take care of this for me? In other words do I have to restrict the availability of my app to certain regions so I don't bypass any geo blockings by accident? Thank you

When I connect my MacBook to my living room AirPort (older gen wallwart) via Music app, the music output in both rooms is synced. When I try to setup a Multi-Output Device in AudioMidi setup, I'm not able to get them synced. I'm outputting to the same devices, they're all on the same sample rate, and I've played with the various settings (Primary Clock Source and Drift Sync). What gives? How are these connections different? Intel MacBook Pro 2018 running Sonoma 14.5

I'm trying to generate a developer token with the following code in nodeJS: const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken') const {TEAM_ID, KID, APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY } = require('./secret') const expiration = 36000; const currentTime = Math.floor(Date.now() /1000); const expirationTime = currentTime + expiration; const options = { algorithm: 'ES256', header :{ alg : "ES256", kid : KID } } const payload = { iss : TEAM_ID, iat : currentTime, exp : expirationTime } const newToken = jwt.sign(payload, APPLE_PRIVATE_KEY, options) console.log('1111111111111111111111' , newToken) When testing my newToken in curl -- I'm getting a 401 response. Please help.

I'm making a request to get 10 artists with their top songs at once, but for some artists it will always fail with a 504. The response is also in HTML which leads to a decoding error. This is my code var request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Artist>(matching: \.id, memberOf: ids) request.properties = properties let response = try await request.response() where ids is MusicItemId. Below I have an input which will always fail 100% of the time, even when retried. 10 elements  - 0 : "51639"  - 1 : "331584"  - 2 : "120199"  - 3 : "45058"  - 4 : "284786497"  - 5 : "44984"  - 6 : "37299"  - 7 : "518462"  - 8 : "39525"  - 9 : "73568" Example response: [DataRequesting] Failed to parse body of response with status code Unknown (504):  <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>   <style>     body {       font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "HelveticaNeue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;       font-size: 15px;       font-weight: 200;       line-height: 20px;       color: #4c4c4c;       text-align: center;     }     .section {       margin-top: 50px;     }   </style> </head> <body> <div class="section">   <h1>&#63743;</h1>   <h3>Gateway Timeout</h3>   <p>Correlation Key: WFRI6Q5HXAUJYXGNRKQ6YTBYIM</p> </div> </body> </html> I have also tried batching these into 2 requests of 5 artists instead of 1 request of 10 artists which still fails. However, I do have sets of 10 artists that work fine. Anyone know why?

When accessing the REST API, If you apply "include=albums" to a 'catalog//songs' endpoint requests with a filter on ISRC, the API will, without fail, return a 504 error status. If you remove the 'include=albums' and/or replace it with something like 'include=artists' it works fine. This has been like this for months and we need to get album details back with these requests. Could the Apple team please respond and verify the issue as it's blocking production for us. Thanks.

Is it possible to edit the Grouping of a song from the user's library using the Apple Music API? According to what I read from the documentation, this is not possible, but this is something that I really would love, so, I better ask. Thanks in advanced!

Could some tell what the relevant endpoint is for fetching all public list of a user playlist. I am able to fetch a one via the id but i want to fetch all in a single request without using authorization.

Hello, Problem I am having the exact same issue as described here : https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/693310 From my understanding of the answers on this topic, it appears to be a problem on the Server Side.

Has anyone found a way to retrieve user token if I want to make an app on Flutter that uses that to make Apple Music API calls to just retrieve the user data and display it on the application? Something like when a user opens their app, there is a button that says connect with apple. It takes the user to give permissions for apple music and that retrieves their user token. I know there is Music Kit on Swift but i wonder if there is something like that on flutter

I'm getting a variety of errors when I call prepareToPlay on the MPMusicPlayerController. Sometimes they happen, sometimes they don't. I'm trying to play songs from the Apple Music service. When I don't get the errors, it plays just fine. I have iOS v13.5.1 on my iPhone Xs and I'm using Xcode 11.5. This is my code: let applicationMusicPlayer = MPMusicPlayerController.applicationMusicPlayer applicationMusicPlayer.setQueue(with: [trackID]) applicationMusicPlayer.prepareToPlay(completionHandler:{ error in if let error = error { print(error.localizedDescription) return } DispatchQueue.main.async{ applicationMusicPlayer.play() } } These are the various errors I'm getting: [SDKPlayback] Failed to prepareToPlay error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=2 "Queue was interrupted by another queue" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Queue was interrupted by another queue} [SDKPlayback] Failed to prepareToPlay error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=9 "Preparing queue timed out" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Preparing queue timed out} [SDKPlayback] Failed to prepareToPlay error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=6 "Failed to prepare to play" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to prepare to play} [SDKPlayback] applicationQueuePlayer _establishConnectionIfNeeded timeout [ping did not pong]

I was about to finally sign up for the Apple Music affiliate program since one of my apps does provide the MusickKit Subscription Offer. However, it looks like it was renamed and restricts usage to only artists and record labels. (https://partners.applemediaservices.com) Is this correct? Can I as an indie developer not earn commission of Apple Music that I drive from my apps?
