Hi,
I'm currently working on a little music app PoC.
I want to search the albums in the Apple Music Catalog which will done via a MusicCatalogSearchRequest:
let musicAuthorizationStatus = await MusicAuthorization.request()
print(musicAuthorizationStatus)
// Issue a catalog search request for albums matching search term.
var searchRequest = MusicCatalogSearchRequest(term: searchTerm, types: [Album.self])
searchRequest.limit = 5
let searchResponse = try? await searchRequest.response()
print(searchResponse?.albums)
I would expect to get a valid search response but it is nil instead.
This is the console log when no AppleID is configured on my test device:

When I use a sandbox account the error is still a .userTokenRequestFailed but the message says something like: Privacy terms must be accepted first.
The Apple Music API seems to require a "Developer Token" but no "User Token" for search requests?!
So my questions are:
- Is it possible to make
MusicCatalogSearchRequests without having an AppleID configured? - What resources can a user without a active Apple Music subscription interact with?
Best regards :) Julian
