Often we get the error below when we invoke skipToPreviousItem or skipToNextItem. Can anyone shed any light on what it means or how to fix it? These errors don't seem to actually stop the music playing, so it would be good even if there was a way we could not show the alert popups. It would also be good if anyone knows how to control the kit to make it not show error dialog (like using a try-catch error before it shows)?
PLAY_ACTIVITY: A play stop() method was called without a previous play() descriptor
Anyone seen this and been able to fix it?
Thanks

I want to use Apple Music using MusicKit.
I've created MusicKit identifier and private key by following all the steps mentioned here: https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/devce5522674
I have my Team ID, the Music key ID and the private key (.p8 file) with me.
I tried to generate the required JWT token by using many scripts that were mentioned in similar questions asked here, but none of them have worked so far. When I try to authenticate, I'm getting an error ERROR_FAILED_TO_VERIFY_JWT.
Ref: Codes I've tried to generate the JWT token from: Thread 130168 - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/130168
A nice and simple blog by Lee Martin [Blog - Creating an Apple Music API Token]
Thread 79074 - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/79074
Many other links
But sadly, none of them worked and I had to post this question.
I have tried the sample Android app: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=Android%20MusicKit
After authentication, the page goes on with an infinite loader, which I believe must be because of the same error ERROR_FAILED_TO_VERIFY_JWT
Also tried with this HTML page:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="apple-music-developer-token" content="the-JWT-token-generated-using-the-reference-links">
<meta name="apple-music-app-name" content="My App Name">
<meta name="apple-music-app-build" content="1978.4.1">
</head>
<body>
<button id="apple-music-authorize"></button>
<button id="apple-music-unauthorize"></button>
</body>
<script src="link-to-musickit.js"></script>
<script>
let music = MusicKit.getInstance();
		music.player.play();
		music.authorize().then(function() {
				music.player.play();
		});
		music.authorize().then(function() {
				 music.api.library.albums.then(function(cloudAlbums) {
							// user's cloudAlbums
				});
		});
</script>

We're using
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickitjs to authorize Apple music, on Desktop it opens a new window to authorize to apple.
But It's NOT working on mobile In-App Browser (both iOS & Android), probably because on mobile messenger, it's not possible to allow the opening of multiple windows.
Are we missing something here? Any workaround for it?
Has anyone done that?

A while ago I started developing a hobby web app aroune Apple Music, and I created a script to generate my JWT and I used it with MusicKit and with Apple Music API and everything was working perfectly fine, and now I came back and wanted to continue the project from where I left off and I tried using the same code (I literally ran the same script without changing anything, it already had the p8 file and the team ID and app key etc..) so I generated a new JWT with that script, and for the Apple Music API it's working as it should, but for the MusicKit (only tried for web) it seems to not work.
For some reason when I try to authorize the user (w/ MusicKit for web) it does open the authorization pop up window and after the user enters their Apple Music credentials and tries to login, the pop up windows says there's an error, and in the URL I can see an "error" query param with the value "ERROR_FAILED_TO_VERIFY_JWT" (but the JWT is clearly working fine with Apple Music API...)
I already opened an issue report on the feedback assistant, but I was thinking maybe someone has/had the same problem and knows how to solve it or what causes it :)

Hi!
Since a couple of hours or yesterday, there's no more "next" value for the pagination when retrieving playlist tracks. Only a "meta" with a "total" value.
Could you please look at this ASAP?
Thank you.

Is it possible to exchange applejs authentication code for a music user token?
Basically - Is it possible to use apple signin with music kit without users needing to sign in twice to apple?
Post not yet marked as solved
Context
I am trying to make webservice that fetches the users name and email
from his Apple account and place a Song or Artist in his library.
For adding a Song to the library I found this apple-music-api. library. To make requests on behalf of a user you need to request a user token with Apple MusicKit JS library.
For fetching the name and email of the user I use this oauth2 client that uses the signin with Apple functionality.
Problem
A Using the apple music kit... I can not query any
user profile data. At least I cannot seem to find an example of this. If there is a possibility to get user email and name using this route?
B Using the Sign in with Apple oauth flow I receive
an access token which contains the name and email. But I cannot use the token to query the apple music api. It seems their scopes are limited to name and email...and no music or something. Is there a possibility to get an user token that can be user on the music api?
C Are there any other possibilities to accomplish
this without requiring the user to sign in twice on apple (once for the email and once for pushing the Song to his library)
PS: I also asked this question on stackoverflow
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67649023/use-token-from-sign-in-with-apple-to-query-apple-music-api

I'm very happy that Apple Music now supports lossless audio.
However, the applications we have created using MusicKit and MusicKit JS currently do not seem to play in lossless or high-resolution formats.
When will we developers be able to use MusicKit and MusicKit JS to play songs in lossless and hi-res formats?

I am finding it impossible to play a library playlist using the MPMusicPlayerController class. I can play catalog playlists without any issues, but and user library specific playlist or song fails with "failed to prepare for play".
MPMusicPlayerController.applicationMusicPlayer.setQueue(with: [playlistId])
MPMusicPlayerController.applicationMusicPlayer.play()
The above works so easily for playlists retrieved with: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/au/playlists.
When trying to play a playlist from https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/playlists it fails.
Any ideas?

I am trying to get the list of albums from a user's library. I use this code. The user is able to successfully login but the albums property of the library object is undefined. How do I get the list of albums for a user?

music.api.library.albums.then(function(cloudAlbums) {
// user's cloudAlbums
console.log('cloudAlbums');

i have this sample code to get the users albums, but where do i put the usertoken on the request.get call. I can't find anywhere online that shows where it goes.
"use strict";
const fs = require("fs");
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
const request = require("request");
const privateKey = fs.readFileSync("AuthKey.p8").toString();
const jwtToken = jwt.sign({}, privateKey, {
algorithm: "ES256",
expiresIn: "180d",
issuer: "",
header: {
alg: "ES256",
kid: ""
}
});
console.log("token:", jwtToken, "\n");
var url = "";
url = "https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/albums";
request.get(
{
url: url,
auth: {
bearer: jwtToken
},
json: true
},
(err, httpResponse, body) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log(body.results.albums.data);
}
}
);

Hello,
whenever I try to authenticate a MusicKit instance the popup alway shows 'Problem Connecting
There may be a network issue.
'. When reloading the popup it shows the login screen, but after I did log in it shows the same error page again.
On the first error screen I get the following error in the console, which seams to be an errors from ember js.
Error while processing route: woa Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL
TypeError: Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid URL
On the second error page I find the following error in the console:
Error while processing route: oauth-screen
This happens both on Brave and Safari.
Is this a bug or did i something wrong?
My Code:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v1/musickit.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
document.addEventListener('musickitloaded', function () {
MusicKit.configure({
developerToken: 'My token',
debug: true,
suppressErrorDialog: false
});
let music = MusicKit.getInstance();
music.authorize().then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
});
});
</script>

The Apple Music API provides a service to fetch a song via an identifier, as detailed in their documentation in this format: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/songs/900032829
However, I noticed that when linking to a song on Apple Music, the link looks like this: https://music.apple.com/us/album/take-on-me-1985-12-mix-2015-remastered/1035047659?i=1035048414
What I am unable to do (unless without using the Spotify API to look up the IRSC code) is to extract the song ID from the regular music URL.
What is the best way to do this?

Hello i have a question about implementing apple music into my mobile app, is there a way i could have the user sign into apple music api on my app and then it directs them to my exact playlist i want to be played. basically i want someone to be able to listen to apple music on my app but only a certain playlist.
If I make a request to https://api.music.apple.com/v1/storefronts/us with the proper developer jwt token in the header, I receive the a successful response with a list of store fronts. If I remove the token, I do get back a 401 error.
If I call any other catalog base query, I am getting back a 500 error.
For instance: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/albums/310730204
returns a 500 error with the body being
{"message":"An unexpected error occurred"}
I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. Please help.

I've used JWT before but first time with the Apple Music API. I put together a JWT from jwt.io with the ES256 algorithm and running it through Postman or curl, I get a generic 500 error with "An unexpected error occurred".
Reading back through the documentation, I read, "After you create the token, sign it with your MusicKit private key. Then encrypt the token using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with the P-256 curve and the SHA-256 hash algorithm."
I haven't seen much about encrypting the token in any other posts. Do I need to sign the token and then encrypt the whole thing?
Thanks!

I already submitted bug by Feedback Assistant. Hopefully, Apple engineers will read this.
What is wrong?:
Lack of date and time of song's access. Without this it's impossible to scrobble.
When I play song using MusicKitJS v1 they are not reflected in history at all.
If I play the same song several times in loop endpoint suggests song was played only once.
Also there is a mess in documentation. Official page of MusicKit redirects to JS version 3 while Apple Developer Documentation lists MusicKit v1, I assume there was no version 2 and 3 is in beta?
Since there is some progress e.g ability to play radio stations in JSv3 it would be nice if main Apple Music API was also updated and finally gaves us ability to delete song from playlist.

Working with MusicKitJS V3, and with the extend key being used, I'm trying to request the animated editorialVideo in my app.
this.musicKitInstance.api.music(
`v1/catalog/${this.musicKitInstance.storefrontId}/albums/${id}`,
{
extend: 'artistUrl,composerUrl,trackCount,editorialVideo,editorialArtwork',
}
)
Looking at how music.apple.com does it, this appears to be the correct format, but the API never returns the editorialVideo in the response. Which stands out as the API will return the artistUrl in the response, just not the editorialVideo.
Is this a limitation of the API?
