I have a user who is reporting an error and has been kind enough to share screen recordings to help diagnose. I am not experiencing this error, nor am I able to replicate on other devices I've tried, so I'm stuck trying to fix. His & other devices tested were all running iOS 17.5.1. Any details on the cause of this error or potential workarounds I could use to resolve would be greatly appreciated. try await ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.play() throws: The operation couldn't be completed (MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain error 6.) MusicAuthorization.currentStatus is .authorized ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.isPreparedToPlay is false ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue.currentEntry is nil (I've noticed this to be the case even when I am able to successfully play as well) Queue was loaded using ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue = [album] but I also tried ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue = ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue(album:startingAt:) and it made no difference. album.playParameters are correct. He experiences the error when attempting to play any album. Any and all help is truly appreciated. Feedback Assistant filed has gone unanswered.

Good morning, I'm trying to use MusicKit functionalities in order to get last played songs and put them into a local DB, to be played later. Following the guide on developer.apple.com, I created the required AppServices integration: Below is a minimal working version of what I'm doing: func requestMusicAuthorization() async { let status = await MusicAuthorization.request() switch status { case .authorized: isAuthorizedForMusicKit = true error = nil case .restricted: error = NSError(domain: "Music access is restricted", code: -10) case .notDetermined: break case .denied: error = NSError(domain: "Music access is denied", code: -10) @unknown default: break } } on the SwiftUI ContentView there's something like that: .onAppear { Task { await requestMusicAuthorization() if MusicManager.shared.isAuthorizedForMusicKit { let response = try await fetchLastSongs() do { let request = MusicRecentlyPlayedRequest<Song>() let response = try await request.response() var songs: [Song] = response.items.map { $0 } // do some CloudKit handling with songs... print("Recent songs: \(songs)") } catch { NSLog(error.localizedDescription) } } } } Everything seems to works fine, but my console log is full of garbage like that: MSVEntitlementUtilities - Process MyMusicApp PID[33633] - Group: (null) - Entitlement: com.apple.accounts.appleaccount.fullaccess - Entitled: NO - Error: (null) Attempted to register account monitor for types client is not authorized to access: {( "com.apple.account.iTunesStore" )} is there something I'm missing on? Should I ignore that and go forward with my implementation? Any help is really appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm currently developing an iOS app using React Native and recently got accepted into the Apple Music Global Affiliate Program. To fully utilize this opportunity, I need to implement the following functionalities: Authorize Apple Music usage Play Apple Music within my app Identify if a user has an Apple Music subscription Initiate and complete Apple Music subscription within my app I've successfully implemented the first three functionalities using the react-native-apple-music module. Now, I need your help to understand how I can directly trigger the Apple Music subscription process from within my app. Thank you for your help!

Hi. I know that playing videos from Apple Music was not possible with iOS 17. There is only the workaround to open the Music app. My question is whether anybody found a solution for iOS 18 (Beta). Thanks, Dirk

Hi. I saw that in iOS 18 Beta there is a property "transition" on the Music Kit's ApplicationMusicPlayer. However, in my app I am using MPMusicPlayerApplicationController because I want to play Apple Music songs, local songs and podcasts. But I didn't find an analogue property on MPMusicPlayerApplicationController to specify transitions between songs. Am I missing something? Thanks, Dirk

Hello I have a question about my web app release. I have built a web app including Apple Music MusicKitJS. Now I would like to release it. Do I need to confirm this with Apple? If yes, what can I do next?

Hello there, I am faced with the following situation: We are building a web app that manages playlists for different platforms, including Apple music We have the concept of teams in there, where a user can be part of multiple teams, and teams are managed by team admin A team admin could manage multiple teams The problem here is, that a team admin wouldn't be able to sign in to the Apple music account for multiple teams because if using the same computer we try to let the user sign in once and store the Music User Token, we can't do another login unless we unauthorized the previous one. Is there anything we can do about this? Thanks

Hi there, I ve Been wondering about getting a 'music user token' for manipulating users playlists. The situation I found myself in is that that can only be done in the front-end, but by exposing the 'developer token' I need to generate, and the 'developer token' is the key to our app, if someone takes that, they can do anything with it, am I wrong? Thanks for your time!

Tested with library songs on an app targeted to Mac (Designed for iPad). The same app running on iOS queries the same library songs and the duration is expressed correctly in seconds, as expected for the TimeInterval type. Xcode 15.3 MacOS 14.5 FB13821671

I built an app that makes playing audio plays easier using MusicKit. Now I am about to release the app to the app store. Following questions occured while doing so: Am I accessing/showing third party content in my app when I am music (in this case radio plays) from MusicKit? I am getting all of that data directly from Apple. Is Apple a third party in this case? The publisher has an app that can playback all of the content that can be accessed in my app. This app has an age rating of 4+ years. Can I just copy that? I've heard that referring to other apps doesn't convince the App Review Team if they disagree. None of the titles are marked explicit in Apple Music. Under the hood MusicKit is using HTTPS to get the data from Apple's servers. I have no code that has anything to do with encryption or HTTPS. Does my app still uses Non Exempt Encryption because MusicKit does so? Can I access music through MusicKit that is otherwise not available in this region or does MusicKit take care of this for me? In other words do I have to restrict the availability of my app to certain regions so I don't bypass any geo blockings by accident? Thank you

I'm trying to set a specific start time for the song, using ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.playbackTime but is not working musicPlayer.playbackTime = 10 try await musicPlayer.prepareToPlay() try await musicPlayer.play()

Since iOS 12 it has become difficult to detect the end of playback using the system music player. In earlier iOS versions, the now playing item would be set nil and you would receive a notification that the player stopped. In iOS 12 and later, nowPlayingItem still contains the current song and the only notification you get is MPMusicPlayerControllerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification with the playbackState set to MPMusicPlaybackStatePaused. Pressing pause in my car (or any remote access) generates the same conditions making it difficult to correctly detect the difference. It would be nice if they added a notification that playback was done (similar to the other players). Any suggestions?

I'm using the systemMusicPlayer to play music and want to update the playback time using addObserver forKeyPath. [self setMusicPlayer: [MPMusicPlayerController systemMusicPlayer]]; I've tried these two methods: [self addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"musicPlayer.currentPlaybackTime" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial context:&musicPlayer]; [self.musicPlayer addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"currentPlaybackTime" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial context:&musicPlayer]; I do get the initial values for currentPlaybackTime in: -(void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context but I never get any calls when the player is playing the song (the whole point). If I set the currentPlaybackTime to a specific value (locating manually using a slider), I get calls with the values I set (useless since I know what I am setting them to). How are we supposed to track the playback time without just polling it constantly?

Hey, I've been trying to fetch my Apple Music recently played songs for an app I'm working on, and I want to access the lastPlayedDate field. If I'm not mistaken, this field should exist for a Song according to Apple's documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickit/song/lastplayeddate However, whenever I try to fetch this data, the lastPlayedDate field is always nil. All the other data I'm looking for, however, seems to fetch without issue. Here's the code I'm using: //Request as described in Apple MusicKit //https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickit/musicrecentlyplayedrequestable var request = MusicRecentlyPlayedRequest<Song>() request.limit=30 do { let response = try await request.response() let songs = response.items.compactMap { song -> RecentlyPlayedSong? in let songName = song.title let songArtist = song.artistName let songAlbum = song.albumTitle let artwork: MusicArtworkType let preview_url = song.previewAssets?.first?.url?.absoluteString if let appleMusicArtwork = song.artwork { print("Found a song, \(song) with lastPlayedDate \(song.lastPlayedDate)") artwork = .AppleMusic(appleMusicArtwork) return RecentlyPlayedSong(name: songName, artist: songArtist, album: songAlbum, artwork: artwork, preview_url: preview_url, lastPlayedDate: song.lastPlayedDate ?? Date()) } I'm trying to map the response into a custom struct I made, but here's a sample of what's getting printed to the logs: Found a song, Song(id: "1676362342", title: "pwdr Blu (feat. Brother.)", artistName: "Kx5, deadmau5 & Kaskade") with lastPlayedDate nil Found a song, Song(id: "881289980", title: "Worlds Apart (feat. Kerli)", artistName: "Seven Lions") with lastPlayedDate nil Found a song, Song(id: "1501540431", title: "What’s Done Is Done", artistName: "Seven Lions & HALIENE") with lastPlayedDate nil Even though I just listened to these songs a a few minutes ago. Anyone ever run into this issue before? Any settings I need to look at changing to get this to show?

When accessing the REST API, If you apply "include=albums" to a 'catalog//songs' endpoint requests with a filter on ISRC, the API will, without fail, return a 504 error status. If you remove the 'include=albums' and/or replace it with something like 'include=artists' it works fine. This has been like this for months and we need to get album details back with these requests. Could the Apple team please respond and verify the issue as it's blocking production for us. Thanks.

I am using MusicKit ApplicationMusicPlayer to play music in my app. Everything works fine as long as I'm not playing large playlists that contain hundreds of songs. When I to play collection of songs that is larger than around 300 I'm always getting the error message saying: "Prepare to play failed" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Prepare to play failed, NSUnderlyingError=0x121d42dc0 {Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=9 "Remote call timed out" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Remote call timed out}}})) It doesn't matter if songs are downloaded to the device or not. I am aware that there is another initializer for player's queue that accepts Playlist instances but in my app users can choose to sort playlist tracks in different order than the default and that makes using that initializer not feasible for me. I tried everything I could think of, I tried to fall back on MPMusicPlayerController and pass array of MPMusicPlayerPlayParameters to it but the result was the same. typealias QueueEntry = ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue.Entry let player = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared let entries: [QueueEntry] = tracks .compactMap { guard let song = $0 as? Song else { return nil } return QueueEntry(song) } Task(priority: .high) { [player] in do { player.queue = .init(entries, startingAt: nil) try await player.play() // prepareToPlay failed } catch { print(error) } }

Hello. I have the following question. I call the nextBatch() method on MusicItemCollection to get the next collection of artist albums. Here is my method: func allAlbums2(artist: Artist) async throws -> [Album] { var allAlbums: [Album] = [] artist.albums?.forEach { allAlbums.append($0) } guard let albums = artist.albums else { return [] } var albumsCollection = albums while albumsCollection.hasNextBatch { let response = try await albumsCollection.nextBatch() if let response { albumsCollection = response var albums = [Album]() albumsCollection.forEach({ albums.append($0)}) allAlbums.append(contentsOf: albums) } } return allAlbums } The problem is as follows. Sometimes it happens that some albums not in nextBatch are not returned (I noticed one, I didn't check the others). This happens once every 50-100 requests. The number of batches is returned the same when the album is skipped. The same albums are returned in the batch where the album was missed. I have a question, do I have a problem with multi-threading or something else or is it a problem in the API. The file contains prints of the returned batches. One with a missing album, the other without a missing one. There are about 3000 lines in the file. I will be grateful for a hint or an answer. Thank you!

Hello, Problem I am having the exact same issue as described here : https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/693310 From my understanding of the answers on this topic, it appears to be a problem on the Server Side.
