Some users of our app get a black screen when playing mp4 files on their phones. The users are all running iOS 17.3.1 and cannot catch the error message when playing a black screen. The user can play the video normally after restarting the mobile phone. However, we want to solve this problem from the code. We use two Avplayers to complete the sequential playback of multiple videos. override init(frame: CGRect) { super.init(frame: frame) layer.addSublayer(videoPlayerA) layer.addSublayer(videoPlayerB) } lazy var layers = [videoPlayerA, videoPlayerB] lazy var videoPlayerA: AVPlayerLayer = { let avPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: AVPlayer()) avPlayerLayer.contentsScale = UIScreen.main.scale avPlayerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill return avPlayerLayer }() lazy var videoPlayerB: AVPlayerLayer = { let avPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: AVPlayer()) avPlayerLayer.contentsScale = UIScreen.main.scale avPlayerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill return avPlayerLayer }() func play() { if let path = paths[safe: currentIndex] { currentVideoPath = path currentPlayer = AVPlayer(playerItem: AVPlayerItem(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))) layers.first?.player?.pause() layer.insertSublayer(layers.first ?? AVPlayerLayer(), below: layers.last) layers.swapAt(0, 1) layers.first?.player = currentPlayer layers.first?.player?.play() SHPlayerGlobalStatus.sharedInstance.isLocalPlayerPlaying = true try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback) try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) }

In SwiftUI there is a built-in component for displaying album artworks called Artwork but there is no equivalent for UIKit. My current approach is to use the .url() method to read image's URL and download the image or read it from the disk but the performance is much worse than it was previously with MPMediaItem's artworkImage method. let artworkQueue = DispatchQueue( label: "MusicKit-ArtworkQueue", qos: .default, attributes: .concurrent ) let artworkSemaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 5) extension Song { func artworkImage(for size: CGSize, completion: @escaping (UIImage?) -> Void) { artworkQueue.async { artworkSemaphore.wait() defer { artworkSemaphore.signal() } let imageURL = artwork?.url( width: Int(size.width), height: Int(size.height) ) // I hate doing this as it might very well break in the future guard let imageURL, imageURL.scheme == "musicKit" else { return completion(nil) } guard let imageData = try? Data(contentsOf: imageURL), let image = UIImage(data: imageData) else { return completion(nil) } completion(image) } } } I really dislike this approach because it feels hacky but somewhat works. You might ask what's the semaphore for? Well, without it I could notice that MusicKit was choking and after reading too many artworks at once. Can someone from Apple please provide us with an example on how to use MusicKit with UIKit properly? Ideally (IMO) we would have a method defined on Song and other MusicKit structures that returns the image for us, just like MPMediaItem had the .artwork() method. It would make our lives so much easier.

I'm trying to accomplish creating a new playlist on device that appears in AppleMusic, and adding into the playlist a selection of MP3s within a small IOS app. Now the MP3's are either a stream of bytes, or a flat file already stored on the device (the app itself generates these - they aren't downloaded, they are created in app, and then stored on the local device) in it's local storage space. The idea is that created tracks can show up in a specific play list on the device. Now, there appears to be some conflict as to what framework I need to use. I've found MPMediaPlayer, which appears to allow me to create a playlist using the GetPlaylist call, although the documentation on this seems pretty sparse and there's not a lot of examples I can find on how to use this? It looks like a UUID is passed in, but there is no documentation on what this UUID is or where it comes from? If I want to create a new Playlist, I presume I need to generate a UUID, and then store that locally in order to be able to access that playlist again later, yes? There's an AddItem call which looks like it's how you add a track to a playlist, but there's no documentation on how you generate an entry. The documentation for this function talks about a Product ID, without describing what the product ID is, or where it needs to come from. Is this a GUID? Is it a name/description? Does it have to be unique? I'm assuming this Product ID refers to that which is being added to the playlist, but the documentation is sadly lacking in terms of explaining what the product ID refers to. Is it a media Item, or is that what is created when whatever entity the Product ID is referring to is added to the playlist? I'm assuming I can create a NSURL of the file that is stored that is actually the MP3 sample, but what I do with that in order to actually add it as a playlist entry is unknown. I'm sure there is a mechanism to do this, it's just not clear what that is. There's a lack of understanding or explanation of what the process is here, and some illumination would be helpful.

Hello everyone, my name is Joshua Osagie. For 2 months now, I have been trying to build my own music application, but unfortunately, I can’t because I was thinking I would get an API from maybe Apple Music or Spotify that will grant me access to over 100 million music. Even if the API is paid for, I have been doing my research, but then it's kind of impossible. So please, if anyone has an idea on what I can do to bring this application to life, I will really appreciate it. Or if anyone could share me an idea on how to get over millions of music on my app, I will be really grateful.

Hello, I don't run a podcast, therefore, I am not referring to the apple podcasts connect platform, and have been trying to get in contact with someone at Apple Podcasts. I would like to talk to developer support or someone who could consult on how to best approach something i'd like to build as an open source tool. I listen to a lot of podcasts and would like an analytics dashboard and toolset to take notes from the podcasts that I listen to on Apple Podcasts. Although, it would be just a good start to have analytics, accessing all of the info. I need to be able to plug into an API and pull all of that data from my account. Is there any way I can access this or talk to someone about this? I have a lot of historical data I assume from all of the shows i'm subscribed to and would like to visualize all of this. Is this possible? From my research, it seems that there is no way to access the information from the Podcasts app? Is there any infra for this?

Running in a Mac (Catalyst) target or Apple Silicon (designed for iPad). Just accessing the playbackStoreID from the MPMediaItem shows this error in the console: -[ITMediaItem valueForMPMediaEntityProperty:]: Unhandled MPMediaEntityProperty subscriptionStoreItemAdamID. The value returned is always “”. This works as expected on iOS and iPadOS, returning a valid playbackStoreID. import SwiftUI import MediaPlayer @main struct PSIDDemoApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Text("playbackStoreID demo") .task { let authResult = await MPMediaLibrary.requestAuthorization() if authResult == .authorized { if let item = MPMediaQuery.songs().items?.first { let persistentID = item.persistentID let playbackStoreID = item.playbackStoreID // <--- Here print("Item \(persistentID), \(playbackStoreID)") } } } } } } Xcode 15.1, also tested with Xcode 15.3 beta 2. MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1 FB13607631

Hello Dev, Recently my client reported freezing the app screen when trying to dismiss it. Our application is related to music. When I checked the flow on the Simulator, I got the same case on the iPhone 15 series. I debugged the code and what I saw was CPU usage got 100% when I tried to pull down the model presented popover controller. I have checked the same flow multiple times and it worked 3-4 times and Additionally, it worked on some real devices and simulators too. So I can't understand what causing this issue. Can you please help me on this? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance!

Hey there, I'm trying to display all user's albums using the MediaPlayer library. I'm getting many albums returning nil, but I know artwork exists because they show up in the default Music app. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason for what shows up and what doesn't. All downloaded albums display artwork, but some cloud album artwork displays as well. Here's the code I'm using to debug this. let query = MPMediaQuery.albums() if let albumCollections = query.collections { albums = albumCollections } for album in albums { let artwork = album.representativeItem?.artwork print(artwork, artwork?.image(at: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100))) } Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, In iOS 17.0 Apple introduced a favorite button for the music app. This favorite button is available everywhere including Control Center and CarPlay. My question is if there is a way to show/use this favorite button in my own app. Couldn't find it in the documentation. Thank you..!

I am detecting problems with the volume level with the Bluetooth connection after the iOS 17.2 update. Before this problem persisted on the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 15 Pro, after the 17.2 update it seems that the problem was fixed on the iPhone 11 but still It persists on the iPhone 15 Pro. I have never had problems with the volume level in my car, but something Apple has changed that continues to affect it. How can it be corrected? Thank you very much for your support. I did a test with the same song and the same volume level (maximum volume on the smartphone and volume 12 on my Suzuki Swift) and these were the decibels results obtained. The Iphone 11 and 15 Pro has updated to iOS 17.2

I am reaching out to you as I am currently trying to solve an issue involving AVPlayer, and I have encountered a challenge related to handling errors for video segments. In our implementation, we have noticed that AVPlayer tends to make contiuous calls to fetch the video segments when video segments returns errors. AVPlayer tries for approximately 30 seconds before throwing an error. We observed this issue when video segments return 404 or 5xx errors. Please fnd below screenshot for the same. Is there any recommended approach or configuration setting that can be applied to restrict the number of calls AVPlayer makes in such scenarios. We are particularly interested in finding a solution that can help reduce the number of calls that are made in case of such failures. I look forward to hearing from you soon and appreciate your support in resolving this matter.
