Issue with AVAssetDownloadURLSession - Only One Audio Language track Downloaded
We are using AVAssetDownloadURLSession to download content with multiple audio tracks. Still, we are facing an issue where only one audio language is being downloaded, despite explicitly requesting multiple audio languages. However, all subtitle variants are being downloaded successfully. Issue Details: Observed Behaviour: When initiating a download using AVAssetDownloadURLSession, only one audio track (Hindi, in this case) is downloaded, even though the content contains multiple audio tracks. Expected Behaviour: All requested audio tracks should be downloaded, similar to how subtitle variants are successfully downloaded. Please find sample app implementation details: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DLcBGNnuWFYsY0cipzxpIHqZYUDJujmN/view?usp=sharing Manifest file for the asset looks something like below #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:6 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="A1",NAME="Hindi",LANGUAGE="hi",URI="indexHindi/Hindi.m3u8",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="A2",NAME="Bengali",LANGUAGE="bn",URI="indexBengali/Bengali.m3u8",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="A3",NAME="Kannada",LANGUAGE="kn",URI="indexKannada/Kannada.m3u8",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="A4",NAME="Malayalam",LANGUAGE="ml",URI="indexMalayalam/Malayalam.m3u8",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="A5",NAME="Tamil",LANGUAGE="ta",URI="indexTamil/Tamil.m3u8",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="A6",NAME="Telugu",LANGUAGE="te",URI="indexTelugu/Telugu.m3u8",AUTOSELECT=YES,DEFAULT=YES #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=832196,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=432950,RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A1",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k360p/360p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=832196,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=432950,RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A2",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k360p/360p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=832196,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=432950,RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A3",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k360p/360p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=832196,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=432950,RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A4",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k360p/360p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=832196,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=432950,RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A5",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k360p/360p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=832196,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=432950,RESOLUTION=640x360,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A6",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k360p/360p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1317051,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=607343,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A1",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k480p/480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1317051,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=607343,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A2",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k480p/480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1317051,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=607343,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A3",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k480p/480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1317051,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=607343,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A4",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k480p/480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1317051,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=607343,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A5",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k480p/480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1317051,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=607343,RESOLUTION=854x480,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A6",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k480p/480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1715498,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=717018,RESOLUTION=1024x576,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L123.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A1",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k576p/576p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1715498,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=717018,RESOLUTION=1024x576,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L123.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A2",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k576p/576p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1715498,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=717018,RESOLUTION=1024x576,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L123.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A3",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k576p/576p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1715498,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=717018,RESOLUTION=1024x576,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L123.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A4",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k576p/576p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1715498,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=717018,RESOLUTION=1024x576,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L123.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A5",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k576p/576p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1715498,AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH=717018,RESOLUTION=1024x576,FRAME-RATE=25.0,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L123.b0,mp4a.40.2",AUDIO="A6",SUBTITLES="subs" index-4k576p/576p.m3u8 #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="English",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="en",URI="subtitle_en/sub_en_vtt.m3u8"

App cannot fetch any resource after a while
Hi everyone, We came an issue that, In some scenarios in our app we cannot fetch any resources from device (Photo and Contact). One case we catched is putting app in background and spending time in other commonly used apps and coming back to our app cause this issue but there is a small chance that get this issue during using the application. In cell, we are trying to fetch the image like this imageFetchTask = Task { let image = await CompositionRoot.shared.photosManager.image(requestType: .imageCollections, forId: photoAsset.photoId) self.photoImageView.image(image) } and inner layers of this code we get the PHAsset and request image PHAsset.firstAsset(for: id) let manager = PHImageManager.default() manager.requestImage(for: asset, targetSize: request.targetSize, contentMode: .aspectFill, options: request.options) { (image, info) in continuation.resume(returning: image) } We figured out that issue not happening only in Photos also Contacts and any web request. So any help according to this situation is well appreciated. Thanks

swift DeviceActivityReport run in background
DeviceActivityReport presents statistics for a device: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/deviceactivity/deviceactivityreport The problem: DeviceActivityReport can present statistics with a delay for a parent device (when DeviceActivityReport is presenting, the DeviceActivityReportExtension is called to process the statistics). One possible solution is to call DeviceActivityReport periodically throughout the day in a child device. However, the app will not be available all day. Is there any way to run DeviceActivityReport in the background? I have tried the following approach, but it didn’t work (DeviceActivityReportExtension didnt call): let hostingController: UIHostingController? = .init(rootView: DeviceActivityReport(context, filter: filter)) hostingController?.view.frame = .init(origin: .zero, size: .init(width: 100, height: 100)) hostingController?.beginAppearanceTransition(true, animated: false) hostingController?.loadView() hostingController?.viewDidLoad() try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(0.5)) hostingController?.viewWillAppear(true) hostingController?.viewWillLayoutSubviews() try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(0.5)) hostingController?.viewDidAppear(true) try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(0.5)) hostingController?.didMove(toParent: rootVC) try? await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(0.5)) hostingController?.viewWillLayoutSubviews() hostingController?.viewDidLayoutSubviews() hostingController?.view.layoutIfNeeded() hostingController?.view.layoutSubviews() hostingController?.endAppearanceTransition() Is there any way to run DeviceActivityReport in the background? (when app is not visible/closed). The main problem is call DeviceActivityReport
