I am try to extract the audio file url from Shazamkit, it is deep inside the hierarchy of SHMediaItem > songs > previewAssets > url
when I access the url with like this:
let url = firstItem.songs[0].previewAssets?[0].url
I am getting a warning like this:
here is the Variable Viewer
this is what I have done so far:
struct MediaItems: Codable {
let title: String?
let subtitle: String?
let shazamId: String?
let appleMusicId: String?
let appleMusicUrL: URL?
let artworkUrl: URL?
let artist: String?
let matchOffset: TimeInterval?
let videoUrl: URL?
let webUrl: URL?
let genres: [String]
let isrc: String?
let songs: [Song]?
}
extension SwiftFlutterShazamKitPlugin: SHSessionDelegate{
public func session(_ session: SHSession, didFind match: SHMatch) {
let mediaItems = match.mediaItems
if let firstItem = mediaItems.first {
// extracting the url
let url = firstItem.songs[0].previewAssets?[0].url
let _shazamMedia = MediaItems(
title:firstItem.title!,
subtitle:firstItem.subtitle!,
shazamId:firstItem.shazamID!,
appleMusicId:firstItem.appleMusicID!,
appleMusicUrL:firstItem.appleMusicURL!,

)
do {
let jsonData = try JSONEncoder().encode([_shazamMedia])
let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8)!
self.callbackChannel?.invokeMethod("matchFound", arguments: jsonString)

Hi! I've been working on a project in python that pulls in a bunch of my personal apple music playback history and library, etc.
I can't find a single good/functional example on how to pull the Music User Token via the android method or MusicKit JS (web) - I've spent a lot of hours on this today, and no permutation of existing examples/documentation has worked.
Any guidance would be much appreciated!! If you have a web app that pulls the music user token, I just need help understanding how to get to the token itself.
Thank you!

I'm writing an Android app that uses the Apple MusicKit SDK for Android. I am trying to understand how to handle the Apple Music user token, once I got it from authentication flow. I don't know when the token will expire, it is not a regular jwt token, so I cannot check the expiration date. And I don't want to run the auth flow on every app run, it will be annoying for the users. Any guidance on how to handle and invalidate apple music user tokens?

I have downloaded the official Apple MusicKit SDK for Android and integrated 2 AARs it has in my app (musickitauth-release-1.1.2.aar and mediaplayback-release-1.1.1.aar). When I try to build my app I'm getting an error:
Manifest merger failed : android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <activity#com.apple.android.sdk.authentication.SDKUriHandlerActivity>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for android:exported when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#exported for details.
Which makes sense, since when I look into the AAR's AndroidManifest.xml I see that this is missing in SDKUriHandlerActivity. Can this be fixed?

I’m using the new ApplicationMusicPlayer support on macOS 14 and playing items from my Apple Music library. I wanted to play this music from my app to an AirPlay destination so i added an AVRoutePickerView. However, selecting any destination via this view doesn’t make a difference to the playback. It continues to play on my mac speakers no matter which airplay destination i choose.

When making a library sectioned request, some MusicLibraryRequestable types used result in an MusicKit.MusicLibraryRequestError being thrown.
When a Playlist is used as the MusicLibrarySectionRequestable type, no other MusicLibraryRequestable type than Track can be used for the request. For others, Artist & Genre cannot be used.
Is there a way to work around this issue? The (seemingly) equivalent functionality in MediaPlayer (MPMediaQuery and MPMediaGrouping) was very consistent and reliable.
Full error info: MusicKit.MusicLibraryRequestError.invalidType, The operation couldn’t be completed. (MusicKit.MusicLibraryRequestError error 1.)
Device and OS: iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17.2.1

I'm trying to test the MusicMarathon and MusicAlbums tutorial/demo apps for MusicKit and half the endpoints do not work.
As an example the MusicMarathon call to MusicRecentlyPlayedContainerRequest() just returns a 401.
Everything I've done seems correct. I've got a fully authorized session and I have all the development keys successfully setup.
Also it's not all API's as I can access the users Library, Just none of the recommendation and search endpoints seems to be working correctly.
I'm running iOS 17.2 and Xcode 15.1
I'm pretty certain this is easily repeatable by just running the demo applications from the MusicKit documentation,

Hello Apple Community,
First, I'm asking this on the holidays, so happy holidays. Now I have some "fun coding time" and can do it because I have some holiday time.
I'm new to this area and would greatly appreciate your expertise and guidance. Have mercy.
I'm attempting to develop a simple application on my Mac OS to browse my playlists. However, I've encountered a few roadblocks that I struggle to navigate. I understand I need to implement two-factor authentication to access my playlists, for which an OAuth setup is required. This involves obtaining an Apple ID and a service ID and dealing with other complex elements.
One particular challenge I'm facing is with the redirect URI in the OAuth process. It seems that it needs to be a valid domain, and I'm unsure if using a local server address like https://localhost:5000 would work. My goal is to create a basic Flask application that can interact with Apple's web authentication system, but I'm uncertain about the feasibility of this approach, given the domain restrictions.
I would appreciate any advice or step-by-step guidance on the following points.
What would be the simplest way to create an application (Swift, Python, or JavaScript) that can authenticate and enable browsing through my playlists?
Any insights, tips, or examples you could share would be immensely helpful. I am eager to learn and look forward to your valuable suggestions. Anything step-by-step would be great, but I like to dream.
Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

I want to add a small play button to play a song preview on my site. I don't want to use the embedded player because I want to style it custom. If I use the MusicKit Web library, do I need to add Apple branding legally? I don't see anywhere that says its required and I want to confirm.

I recently downloaded Apple Music for for Windows 10 and started a new music library. Then I downloaded all my purchased music albums to my computer. However, the album art is not embedded in any of the m4a files. It is stored in a separate artwork folder. I have Visual Studio 2022 and was wondering how I might go about accessing the Apple Music app using the API. I want the script to go through all my purchased music and take the album art from the artwork folder and embed it in the purchased m4a files. I found some other programs/scripts online but they are all for iTunes or for Mac. None of the old scripts will work because they don’t recognize the new Apple Music for Windows music library. I can’t go back to iTunes because Apple removed all the music options from the iTunes for Windows app. Any ideas on how to get started writing the app/script would be greatly appreciated. Can I download something from Apple to make it easy to access the API in Visual Studio 2022 for Windows?

Hi, my team is developing an iOS app which connects to Apple Music (currently most of it is via API, but some tests have been done with MusicKit). In a separate development, we were using a service which competes with A.M., and when their (web) API is used, if the user doesn't interact with the app somehow (scrolling, buttons, etc), the connection will timeout after 30 seconds and force them to reconnect.
So, questions I have are:
Is there any timeout regarding stopping tracks in Apple Music or does the connection to the A.M. app stay active?
If the connection drops on iOS as well, is there any limitation regarding streaming A.M. content via API (aka are there licensing issues as well?)

I am working on an app to play music from the users' library on macOS.
I'm not using catalyst btw.
Whenever I try to play the track from an album I run into an issue where the track play out of order.
I set the queue like this:
musicPlayer.queue = ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue(album: album, startingAt: tracks[index])
Where album is an Album instance that was retrieved through a library request MusicLibraryRequest<MusicKit.Album>
And musicPlayer is a reference to ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared
When I print out the entries variable the tracks are in the correct order.
(I'm using Xcode 15.1 and macOS 14.2)
Am I doing something obviously wrong? Or is this a known issue?
Thanks in advance,
Daan

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..!

Greetings Fellow Humans,
My player uses the v3 musickit-js library. I am trying to handle situations where a user tries to play explicit content in my player with an account that has content restrictions enabled. I don't see a mechanism to know if the toggle is set in the account. The only mechanism I see is to respond to a CONTENT_RESTRICTED error as handled by the callback to the function I provide as a callback to the mediaPlaybackError event.
I have attached many callbacks (like bufferedProgressDidChange) and those all work, but this one never fires.
music.addEventListener("mediaPlaybackError", onPlaybackError);
Or
music.addEventListener(MusicKit.Events.mediaPlaybackError, onPlaybackError);
My onPlaybackError function, at least for debugging purposes, is:
function onPlaybackError(e) {
console.log("onPlaybackError");
console.log(e);
}
There are so many error conditions that are meant to be handled in this way but the callback never happens. Am I missing something? Why doesn't this callback fire?
Thanks!

Trying to use the Apple Music API for mirroring playlists from spotify. Wondering if it will ever be on the roadmap to update/reorder playlists, or delete playlists/remove items using the API?
Is this something that can't be handled or is it a business decision? I see that there is more flexibility with the MusicKit. Can we expect something like this in the future for the API?
Thanks,

Since the latest updates of macOS, probably 14.1, I have not been able to play media using SystemMusicPlayer.shared or MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer. ApplicationMusicPlayer still works.
This is the error code I am encountering:
systemMusicPlayer _establishConnectionIfNeeded failed [application failed to launch]
Failed to prepareToPlay with error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=10 "Failed to obtain remoteObject [nil server]" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to obtain remoteObject [nil server]}
Here is a small example to reproduce the bug.
MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.setQueue(with: ["1445887715"])
MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.prepareToPlay()
Or:
extension PlayableMusicItem {
// Not working
func playWithSystemPlayer() {
Task {
SystemMusicPlayer.shared.queue = [self]
try await SystemMusicPlayer.shared.play()
}
}
// Working
func playWithApplicationPlayer() {
Task {
ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue = [self]
try await ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.play()
}
}
}

Overview
Hi I'm an Android Engineer at Mapbox. We are building SDKs that would include Apple Music integrations. The issue is that we cannot publish an .aar file that includes .aar files.
Direct local .aar file dependencies are not supported when building an AAR
So the question is, why isn't Apple Music Android SDK published to maven? It's bizarre to download android sdks and then include raw versions in your app anyways. To be specific, the issue is talking about these files.
mediaplayback-release-1.1.1.aar
musickitauth-release-1.1.2.aar
If the artifacts were uploaded to maven, then we could make them part of a build.gradle like this:
implementation("com.apple.music.mediaplayback:1.1.1")
implementation("com.apple.music.musickitauth:1.1.2")
Questions
Has someone published these SDKs so we can include them without a raw download?
Is there a legal reason to not publish it ourselves?

I just ripped a CD onto my Itunes, and when it plays on the CD, it plays gapless as intended, but when ripped and uploaded to my Itunes and Iphone, there is a gap. I hate it. I know previously you could have gapless playback. Can you PLEASE bring it back? It is a simple fix, update your software, and bring back gapless playback please. People have complained about it before, DO something about it.
