MPMediaPickerController doesn't return podcasts as of iOS 8.4

Prior to iOS 8.4 my apps can let the user choose podcasts when using the MPMediaPickerController.


You simply initialise it with MPMediaTypePodcast, and Podcasts appears as one of the audio types that the user can select from.


The SDK* still lists MPMediaTypePodcast as a valid media type, but it seems to have been broken when Apple released Apple Music and iOS 8.4 Same problem in iOS 9.


So now my users are understandably angry that a feature they paid for has been removed.
