In the iOS Photos app there is a caption field the user can write to. How can you write to this value from Swift when creating a photo?
I see apps that do this, but there doesn't seem to be any official way to do this using the Photo library through PHAssetCreationRequest or PHAssetResourceCreationOptions or setting EXIF values, I tried settings a bunch of values there including IPTC values but nothing appears in the caption field in the iOS photos app.
There must be some way to do it since I see other apps setting that value somehow after capturing a photo.

Hi,
I’m an iOS developer building an app with an use case that needs advanced playback on Apple Music subscription streams, specifically:
• Real-time tempo change (BPM) during playback — i.e., time-stretch with key-lock, not just crossfade.
• Beat-matched transitions between tracks.
From what I can tell, this capability seems to exist only for approved partners and isn’t available through public MusicKit.
Question: What’s the official request path to be evaluated for that restricted partner entitlement (application form, questionnaire, NDA, or internal team/BD contact)? If the entitlement identifier is internal, how can I get my account routed to the right Apple Music team?
For reference, publicly announced partners include Algoriddim djay, Serato DJ Pro, rekordbox (AlphaTheta), and Engine DJ—all of which appear to implement mixing features that imply advanced playback (tempo/beat-matching) on Apple Music content. I’d prefer not to share product details publicly for the moment and can provide specifics privately if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Hi I know it's possible to play equirectangular VR180 video either SBS or MV-HEVC. And for fisheye video, the only way I know is to convert it into an AIVU for playback.
Is there any way to directly play fisheye video using AVPlayer? Thanks a lot!
Where can I find the documentation of the Genlock feature of the iPhone 17 Pro? How does it work and how can I use it in my app?
I’m implementing FairPlay offline streaming on iOS and ran into a question about DRM expiration handling.
As far as I understand, when issuing a FairPlay offline license, there are typically two time windows:
1. The period during which the user can start offline playback (the longer “rental window”).
2. Once playback starts, the duration allowed to complete playback (the shorter “playback window”).
I’d like to display this information (the remaining validity or expiration time) in the app’s UI next to each downloaded asset.
My question is:
👉 Is there a way to programmatically check or retrieve the expiration time for a FairPlay offline asset on the client side (via AVFoundation or AVContentKeySession)?
Any guidance or best practices for surfacing DRM expiration info in the UI would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
We're encountering an unexpected issue with our iPhone-only camera app:
👉 TimeMark - Photo Proof
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timemark-photo-proof/id6446071834
Problem Description:
Our app uses a full-screen camera view via AVCaptureSession. In some cases reported by users, the camera fails immediately upon app launch, and we receive this interruption reason:
AVCaptureSessionInterruptionReasonVideoDeviceNotAvailableWithMultipleForegroundApps
According to the Apple documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturesession/interruptionreason/videodevicenotavailablewithmultipleforegroundapps?language=objc , this interruption typically occurs when the app is running in a multi-app layout such as Slide Over, Split View, or Picture in Picture — all of which are iPad-only features.
However, this issue is being reported on iPhones, and our app does not support iPad at all.
Also noted in the documentation:
"Given your present AVCaptureSession configuration, the session may only be run if your app occupies the full screen."
Additional Context:
The issue occurs immediately on app launch, before the user can interact with the camera.
We don’t enable multitaskingCameraAccessEnabled.
We are 100% sure this is happening on iPhone, not iPad.
It’s hard to reproduce; users report it happening sporadically.
Locally, we tried playing Picture-in-Picture videos (e.g., Safari/YouTube) before launching our app, but we could not reproduce the issue.
Questions:
Why is this interruption reason occurring on iPhone, which doesn’t officially support Slide Over or Split View?
Could this be caused by some system-level multitasking or resource contention (e.g., Picture in Picture from FaceTime or Safari)?
Would enabling multitaskingCameraAccessEnabled help prevent this issue on iPhone, even though it's designed for iPad?
Enabling multitaskingCameraAccessEnabled seems to require enabling UIBackgroundModes → voip.
Would adding this background mode cause any App Store review risk or rejection if our app doesn't actually use VoIP functionality?
Any help, insight, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Since iOS and tvOS 18, CMCD can now be automatically sent by AVPlayer (https://developer.apple.com/streaming/Whats-new-HLS.pdf).
However, after enabling CMCD, our streams occasionally fail with the following error: CoreMediaErrorDomain Error -17383
This issue appears to affect only DRM-protected (FairPlay) streams so far.
We activate CMCD via the resource loader of an AVURLAsset, before assigning the item to an AVPlayer.
Unfortunately, we haven’t found a reliable way to reproduce the issue, and we’ve been unable to gather any useful diagnostic information.
Has anyone else observed this behavior when enabling CMCD on FairPlay streams?

I'm writing a program to control a PTZ camera connected via USB.
I can get access to target camera's unique_id, and also other infos provided by AVFoundation. But I don't know how to locate my target USB device to send a UVC ControlRequest.
There's many Cameras with same VendorID and ProductID connected at a time, so I need a more exact way to find out which device is my target.
It looks that the unique_id provided is (locationID<<32|VendorID<<16|ProductID) as hex string, but I'm not sure if I can always assume this behavior won't change.
Is there's a document declares how AVFoundation generate the unique_id for USB camera, so I can assume this convert will always work? Or is there's a way to send a PTZ control request to AVCaptureDevice?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40006908/usb-interface-of-an-avcapturedevice
I have seen this similar question. But I'm worrying that Exacting LocationID+VendorID+ProductID from unique_id seems like programming to implementation instead of interface. So, if there's any other better way to control my camera?
here's my example code for getting unique_id:
//
// camera_unique_id_test.mm
//
// 测试代码:使用C++获取当前系统摄像头的AVCaptureDevice unique_id
//
// 编译命令:
// clang++ -framework AVFoundation -framework CoreMedia -framework Foundation
// camera_unique_id_test.mm -o camera_unique_id_test
//
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
struct CameraInfo {
std::string uniqueId;
};
std::vector<CameraInfo> getAllCameraDevices() {
std::vector<CameraInfo> cameras;
@autoreleasepool {
NSArray<AVCaptureDevice*>* devices =
[AVCaptureDevice devicesWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
AVCaptureDevice* defaultDevice =
[AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
// 遍历所有设备
for (AVCaptureDevice* device in devices) {
CameraInfo info;
// 获取unique_id
info.uniqueId = std::string([device.uniqueID UTF8String]);
cameras.push_back(info);
}
}
return cameras;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
std::vector<CameraInfo> cameras = getAllCameraDevices();
for (size_t i = 0; i < cameras.size(); i++) {
const CameraInfo& camera = cameras[i];
std::cout << " 设备 " << (i + 1) << ":" << std::endl;
std::cout << " unique_id: " << camera.uniqueId << std::endl;

Hello,
Starting in iOS 17, our application started having some issue publishing to our video session. More specifically the video capture seems to be broken in some, but not all sessions. What's troubling is that we're seeing that it fails consistently every 4 sessions.
It also fails silently, without reporting any problems to the app. We only notice that there are no frames being rendered or sent to the remote devices.
Here's what shows-up in the console:
<<<< FigCaptureSourceRemote >>>> Fig assert: "! storage->connectionDied" at bail (FigCaptureSourceRemote.m:235) - (err=0)
<<<< FigCaptureSourceRemote >>>> Fig assert: "err == 0 " at bail (FigCaptureSourceRemote.m:253) - (err=-16453)
Anyone seeing this? Any idea what could be the cause? Our sessions work perfectly on iOS16 and below.
Thanks
SBS ViewPacking add a half a frame to the opposite eye.
Meaning if you look all the way right you can see an extra half frame with left eye and vice versa.
OU doesn't work at all, the preview just doesn't show a thumbnail and the video doesn't play.
Any hints on how to fix this? I submitted a bug report but haven't heard anything.
Prerequisite: After the MDM APP issues the command, the camera on the phone is no longer visible (unusable).
After upgrading to iOS 26.1, the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable.
The isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method on iOS 26.0.1 is normal, returning false when the camera is unavailable and true when it is available.
Please fix this method to determine
If the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method cannot determine whether the camera is available, please provide an available judgment method.
Issue: After iOS 18.5 release, our app is experiencing a significant increase in AVCaptureSessionInterruptionReason.videoDeviceNotAvailableWithMultipleForegroundApps errors.
Details:
Our camera-related code has not been updated recently.However, we've observed that the error rate has significantly increased starting from May 2025. The error rate has risen from approximately 0.02% (2 in 10,000 users) to 0.1% (1 in 1,000 users). This represents a 5x increase in error occurrence.
The frequency has increased noticeably since iOS 18.5
This is affecting our app's camera functionality and user experience
Questions:
Are there any known changes in iOS 18.5 regarding camera access management?
What are the recommended best practices to handle this interruption reason?
Are there any API changes we should be aware of?
Best,
Shay
My implementation of LockedCameraCapture does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully.
Standard Xcode target template:
Lock_Screen_Capture.swift
@main
struct Lock_Screen_Capture: LockedCameraCaptureExtension {
var body: some LockedCameraCaptureExtensionScene {
LockedCameraCaptureUIScene { session in
Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder(session: session)
}
}
}
Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder.swift:
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
import UniformTypeIdentifiers
import LockedCameraCapture
struct Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
let session: LockedCameraCaptureSession
var sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType = .camera
init(session: LockedCameraCaptureSession) {
self.session = session
}
func makeUIViewController(context: Self.Context) -> UIImagePickerController {
let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.sourceType = sourceType
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UTType.image.identifier, UTType.movie.identifier]
imagePicker.cameraDevice = .rear
return imagePicker
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController, context: Self.Context) {
}
}
Then I have my widget:
struct CameraWidgetControl: ControlWidget {
var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration {
StaticControlConfiguration(
kind: "com.myCompany.myAppName.lock-screen") {
ControlWidgetButton(action: MyAppCaptureIntent()) {
Label("Capture", systemImage: "camera.shutter.button.fill")
}
}
}
}
My AppIntent:
struct MyAppContext: Codable {}
struct MyAppCaptureIntent: CameraCaptureIntent {
typealias AppContext = MyAppContext
static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "MyAppCaptureIntent"
static let description = IntentDescription("Capture photos and videos with MyApp.")
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
.result()
}
}
The Issue
LockedCameraCapture Widget does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. You get the Face ID prompt and takes you to just Home Screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully.
Error Message
When tapped on Lock Screen, I get the following error code:
LaunchServices: store ‹private > or url ‹private > was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database"
UserInfo=&NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler}
Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried.
Failed to initialize client context with error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database"
UserInfo=&NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler}
Things I tried
Widget image displays correctly
App ID and the Provisioning Profile seem to be fine since they work fine when the same code injected in to AVCam sample app and when used the same App ID's.
AppIntent file contains the target memberships of the Lock Screen capture and Widget
Apple compiles without errors or warnings.
I'm developing an iOS app using AVFoundation for real-time video capture and object detection.
While implementing torch functionality with camera switching (between Wide and Ultra-Wide lenses), I encountered a critical issue where the camera freezes when toggling the torch while the Ultra-Wide camera is active.
Issue
If the torch is ON and I switch from Wide to Ultra-Wide, the camera freezes
If the Ultra-Wide camera is active and I try to turn the torch ON, the camera freezes
The iPhone Camera app allows using the torch while recording video with the Ultra-Wide lens, so this should be possible via AVFoundation as well.
Code snippet
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { [weak self] in
guard let self = self else { return }
let isSwitchingToUltraWide = !self.isUsingFisheyeCamera
let cameraType: AVCaptureDevice.DeviceType = isSwitchingToUltraWide ? .builtInUltraWideCamera : .builtInWideAngleCamera
let cameraName = isSwitchingToUltraWide ? "Ultra Wide" : "Wide"
guard let selectedCamera = AVCaptureDevice.default(cameraType, for: .video, position: .back) else {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.showAlert(title: "Camera Error", message: "\(cameraName) camera is not available on this device.")
}
return
}
do {
let currentInput = self.videoCapture.captureSession.inputs.first as? AVCaptureDeviceInput
self.videoCapture.captureSession.beginConfiguration()
if isSwitchingToUltraWide && self.isFlashlightOn {
self.forceEnableTorchThroughWide()
}
if let currentInput = currentInput {
self.videoCapture.captureSession.removeInput(currentInput)
}
let videoInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: selectedCamera)
self.videoCapture.captureSession.addInput(videoInput)
self.videoCapture.captureSession.commitConfiguration()
self.videoCapture.updateVideoOrientation()
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if let barButton = sender as? UIBarButtonItem {
barButton.title = isSwitchingToUltraWide ? "Wide" : "Ultra Wide"
barButton.tintColor = isSwitchingToUltraWide ? UIColor.systemGreen : UIColor.white
}
print("Switched to \(cameraName) camera.")
}
self.isUsingFisheyeCamera.toggle()
} catch {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.showAlert(title: "Camera Error", message: "Failed to switch to \(cameraName) camera: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
}
Expected Behavior
Torch should be able to work when Ultra-Wide is active, just like the iPhone Camera app does.
The camera should not freeze when switching between Wide and Ultra-Wide with the torch ON.
AVCaptureSession should not crash when toggling the torch while Ultra-Wide is active.
Questions & Help Needed
Is this a known issue with AVFoundation?
How does the iPhone Camera app allow using the torch while recording in Ultra-Wide?
What’s the correct way to switch between Wide and Ultra-Wide cameras without freezing when the torch is active?

Hi everyone!
I’m trying to implement a cinematic video shooting mode.
While following the guide “Capture cinematic video in your app”,
I added the following code to obtain metadata information:
metadataOutput.metadataObjectTypes = metadataOutput.requiredMetadataObjectTypesForCinematicVideoCapture
However, the following error appears in the console:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'When Cinematic Video is enabled, AVCaptureMetadataOutput's metadataObjectTypes must match requiredMetadataObjectTypesForCinematicVideoCapture.'
How can I resolve this issue?
Hi,
I try to record audio on the iPhone with the AVAudioRecorder and Xcode 26.0.1.
Maybe the problem is that I can not record audio with the simulator. But there's a menu for audio.
In the plist I added 'Privacy - Microphone Usage Description' and I ask for permission before recording.
if await AVAudioApplication.requestRecordPermission() {
print("permission granted")
recordPermission = true
} else {
print("permission denied")
}
Permission is granted.
let settings: [String : Any] = [
AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC,
AVSampleRateKey: 12000,
AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 1,
AVEncoderAudioQualityKey: AVAudioQuality.high.rawValue
]
recorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: filename, settings: settings)
let prepared = recorder.prepareToRecord()
print("prepared started: \(prepared)")
let started = recorder.record()
print("recording started: \(started)")
started is always false and I tried many settings.

I cannot reproduce this locally. Is this a known issue? What are the possible root-causes, and how can I verify/eliminate them?

Hello Apple team,
I'm working on an iOS AR app using SwiftUI and RealityKit,
and I was wondering if the Cinematic API can be used with a RealityKit scene. I’d like to achieve a shallow depth of field while keeping the 3D asset in focus, and vice versa.
Thanks!
Hi all,
I have been quite stumped on this behavior for a little bit now, so thought it best to share here and see if someone more experience with AVAudioEngine / AVAudioSession can weigh in.
Right now I have a AVAudioEngine that I am using to perform some voice chat with and give buffers to play. This works perfectly until route changes start to occur, which causes the AVAudioEngine to reset itself, which then causes all players attached to this engine to be stopped.
Once a AVPlayerNode gets stopped due to this (but also any other time), all samples that were scheduled to be played then get purged. Where this becomes confusing for me is the completion handler gets called every time regardless of the sound actually being played.
Is there a reliable way to know if a sample needs to be rescheduled after a player has been reset?
I am not quite sure in my case what my observer of AVAudioEngineConfigurationChange needs to be doing, as this engine only handles output. All input is through a separate engine for simplicity.
Currently I am storing a queue of samples as they get sent to the AVPlayerNode for playback, and after that completion checking if the player isPlaying or not. If it's playing I assume that the sound actually was played- and if not then I leave it in the queue and assume that an observer on the route change or the configuration change will realize there are samples in the queue and reset them
Thanks for any feedback!
