How to make a playlist public/create a public playlist?

Hey everyone,

I am creating playlist via the MusicKit API and by default it creates the playlist in the users library and the isPublic attribute is set to false.

Is there a way to make the playlist public at the time of creation?

(Only way to change isPublic = true at this time seems to be through the Music app right now)

Hello @ashinthetray,

Thank you for this question on how to make a public playlist with MusicKit.

This isn't currently possible with MusicKit, because sharing a playlist is not supported at this time with Apple Music API.

Best regards,

  • @JoeKun That's disappointing! Hope you consider it for the future, it severely limits developer's ability to make innovative apps through MusicKit.

    But as always, you are a life saver! Thanks for your prompt reply.
