AVPlayer.metadata not working on iOS 16 beta 1/2

Are there more developers noticing that metadata is not working on iOS 16 beta 1 and 2? Both possible solutions are not working:

  1. observeValue for key "timedMetadata" and
  2. AVPlayerItemMetadataOutputPushDelegate.

The code I produced works fine on iOS 16 in the simulator, but not on a real device (iPhone XR).

  • No update ... I used the feedback app to let Apple know this issue is present in iOS 16.

I have this problem too. The timedMetadata comes in with iOS 16 beta simulator but on a device with IOS 16 beta it is empty. I added a bug report with id "FB10369973" for this with Feedback assistant. I provided to Apple code with Objective-C using observeValueForKeyPath and also a complete project with Swift using AVPlayerItemMetadataOutputPushDelegate to demo the bug. Both versions have no metadata on devices but in simulators.

  • My bug report has the status "open" and "Recent Similar Reports: None". The problem still exists with Beta 3.
