Hi! I get personal recommendations MusicItemCollection using this code: func getRecommendations() async throws -> MusicItemCollection<MusicPersonalRecommendation> { let request = MusicPersonalRecommendationsRequest() let response = try await request.response() let recommendations = response.recommendations return recommendations } However, all recommendations contain no more than 12 MusicItem's, while the Music.app application provides much more for some recommendations, for example, for the You recently listened recommendation, the Music.app application displays 40 items. Each recommendation has an items property that contains a collection of musical items MusicItemCollection<MusicPersonalRecommendation.Item>, the hasNextBatch property for these collections is always false. I expected that for some collections loading of new items would be available. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong or is this a MusicKit bug? Thank you!

Hi, I am creating an app that can include videos or images in it's data. While @Attribute(.externalStorage) helps with images, with AVAssets I actually would like access to the URL behind that data. (as it would be stupid to load and then save the data again just to have a URL) One key component is to keep all of this clean enough so that I can use (private) CloudKit syncing with the resulting model. All the best Christoph

AVAudioFormat has no Swift concurrency annotations but the documentation states "Instances of this class are immutable." This made me always assume it was safe to pass AVAudioFormat instances around. Is this the case? If so can it be marked as Sendable? Am I missing something?

Hello All, It seems that it's "very easy" (😬) to implement a little Swift code inside the prepared AU using Xcode 16.2 on Sequoia 15.1.1 and a Mac Studio M1 Ultra, but my issue is that I finally don't know... where. The documentation says that I've to find the AudioUnitViewController.swift file and then modify the render block : audioUnit.renderBlock = { (numFrames, ioData) in // Process audio here } in the Xcode project automatically generated, but I didn't find such a file... If somebody can help me in showing where is the file to be modified, I'll be very grateful ! Thank you very much. J

Hi I'm new to the forum, I'm planning an app just for Apple watch, I would like to use bluetooth audio in background, how can I do it? The messages I send via bluetooth stop as soon as the watch display turns off. Thank you! Nax

Songs can be unavailable (greyed out) in Apple Music. How can I check if a song is unavailable via the MusicKit framework? Obviously the playback will fail with MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=6 "Failed to prepare to play" but how can I know that in advance? I need to check the availability of hundreds of albums and therefore initiating a playback for each of them is not an option. Things I have tried: Checking if the release date property is set to a future date. This filters out all future releases but doesn't solve the problem for already released songs. Checking if the duration is 0. This does not work since the duration of unavailable songs does not have to be 0. Initiating a playback and checking for the "Failed to prepare to play" error. This is not suitable for a huge amount of Albums. I couldn't find a solution yet but somehow other third-party-apps are able ignore/don't shows these albums. I believe the Apple Music app is only displaying albums where at least one song is available. I am using this function to fetch all albums of an artist. private func fetchAlbumsFor(_ artist: Artist) async throws -> [Album] { let artistWithAlbums = try await artist.with(.albums) var allAlbums = [Album]() guard var currentBadge = artistWithAlbums.albums else { return [] } allAlbums.append(contentsOf: currentBadge) while currentBadge.hasNextBatch { if let nextBatch = try await currentBadge.nextBatch() { currentBadge = nextBatch allAlbums.append(contentsOf: nextBatch) } else { break } } return allAlbums } Here is an example album where I am unable to detect its unavailability (at least in Germany): https://music.apple.com/de/album/die-haferhorde-immer-den-n%C3%BCstern-nach-h%C3%B6rspiel-zu-band-3/1755774804 Furthermore I was unable to navigate to this album via the Apple Music app directly. Thanks for any help Edit: Apparently this album is not included in an apple music subscription but can be bought seperately. The question remains: How can I check that?

our app meet a wired problem for online version. more and more user get 561145187 when try to call this code: AudioQueueNewInput(&self->_recordFormat, inputBufferHandler, (__bridge void *)(self), NULL, NULL, 0, &self->_audioQueue)" I search for several weeks, but nothing help. we sum up all issues devices, found some similarity: only happens on iPad OS 14.0 + occurred when app started or wake from background (we call the code when app received "UIApplicationDidBecomeActiveNotification") Any Idea why this happens?

I've got a problem with my app where I'm testing it on my own phone. I'm using audio kit to generate tones as part of the app. Everything seems to work fine. Sounds start, Stop, etc. They play when the app is closed and when the phone is locked, so background is working. However, I'm seeing an issue where, even when STOP is pressed and the application exited, if I get a notification such as a text message, the base tone for the app starts to play. If I then open the app, check the Start/Stop button - it says start so that. hasnt' been activated. If I click Start, then a 2nd tone starts. This one stops with the Stop button. However the original tone that was set off by an incoming message carries on playing. Until I go to the Open Apps View on the phone and slide the application upwards. For the life of me, I can't figure out whats happening here.

Hi everyone, I just upgraded my iPhone to 18.1.1. I noticed the absence of the normal mode on my AirPods. I can't stand the noise cancellation mode for too long and the transparency one is overwhelming everytime a hair is brushing near by my AirPods. Why is that? I don't really see the progression here. Can you this be fixed in the next version? I don't want to buy another brand, I use them everyday for many hours.

Hi, I have configured the stream as interleaved, but I am unsure if the function produces interleaved samples. So here my question: Does AudioDeviceCreateIOProcID produce interleaved samples with microphone input?

Everytime I put my AirPods in and connect them to my phone or my Mac or my iPad since the iOS 18.3 update on my devices they’ve been disconnecting without reason, pausing songs I’m in the middle of playing, and only partially reconnecting in one pod and it’s getting really frustrating

HI Guys, I'm using Shazamkit in my IOS app and successfully capturing the currently playing track details, when using the devices (iPhone) built-in mic. When I test with AirPods though, my app cannot both send the output to through the AirPods and capture that same output with the AirPods mic, for Shazamkit recognition. I believe this must be possible, because the Shazamkit widget on IOS can do this. Is it restricted in some way for third party apps? If not, I'd appreciate some guidance on how to achieve this in Swift code. Thanks in advance.

Hi community, I'm trying to setup an AVAudioFormat with AVAudioPCMFormatInt16. But, i've an error : AVAEInternal.h:125 [AUInterface.mm:539:SetFormat: ([[busArray objectAtIndexedSubscript:(NSUInteger)element] setFormat:format error:&nsErr])] returned false, error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10868 "(null)" If i understand the error code 10868, the format is not correct. But, how i can use PCM Int16 format ? Here is my method : - (void)setupAudioDecoder:(double)sampleRate audioChannels:(double)audioChannels { if (self.isRunning) { return; } self.audioEngine = [[AVAudioEngine alloc] init]; self.audioPlayerNode = [[AVAudioPlayerNode alloc] init]; [self.audioEngine attachNode:self.audioPlayerNode]; AVAudioChannelCount channelCount = (AVAudioChannelCount)audioChannels; self.audioFormat = [[AVAudioFormat alloc] initWithCommonFormat:AVAudioPCMFormatInt16 sampleRate:sampleRate channels:channelCount interleaved:YES]; NSLog(@"Audio Format: %@", self.audioFormat); NSLog(@"Audio Player Node: %@", self.audioPlayerNode); NSLog(@"Audio Engine: %@", self.audioEngine); // Error on this line [self.audioEngine connect:self.audioPlayerNode to:self.audioEngine.mainMixerNode format:self.audioFormat]; /**NSError *error = nil; if (![self.audioEngine startAndReturnError:&error]) { NSLog(@"Erreur lors de l'initialisation du moteur audio: %@", error); return; } [self.audioPlayerNode play]; self.isRunning = YES;*/ } Also, i see the audioEngine seem not running ? Audio Engine: ________ GraphDescription ________ AVAudioEngineGraph 0x600003d55fe0: initialized = 0, running = 0, number of nodes = 1 Anyone have already use this format with AVAudioFormat ? Thank you !

Sequoia 15.4.1 (24E263) XCode: 16.3 (16E140) Logic Pro: 11.2.1 I’ve been developing a complex audio unit for Mac OS that works perfectly well in its own bespoke host app and is now well into its beta testing stage. It did take some effort to get it to work well in Logic Pro however and all was fine and working well until: The AU part is an empty app extension with a framework containing its code. The framework contains Swift code for the UI and C code for the DSP parts. When the framework is compiled using the Swift 5 compiler the AU will run in Logic with no problems. (I should also mention that AU passes the most strict auval tests). But… when the framework is compiled with Swift 6 Logic Pro cannot load it. Logic displays a message saying the audio unit could not be loaded and to contact the developer. My own host app loads the AU perfectly well with the Swift 6 version, so I know there’s nothing wrong with the audio unit. I cannot find any differences in any of the built output files except, of course, the actual binary code in the framework. I’ve worked for hours on this and cannot find a solution other than to build the framework in Swift 5. (I worked hard to get all the async code updated and working with Swift 6! so I feel a little cheated!) What is happening? Is this a bug in Logic? Is this a bug in Swift 6 compiler/linker? I’m at the Duh! hands in the air, tearing out hair stage! ( once again!)

Hello! I've two mics connected to a USB-hub. The USB-hub is then connected to my iPad. Both mics are part of the audio session's list of available inputs. The problem is that regardless of which mic I select in my app (using setPreferredInput() on the audio session), the audio keeps coming from the mic that was last connected to the USB-hub. Anyone that knows if this is a limitation in iPadOS/iOS?

I'm using a 4 channel USB Audio interface, with 4 microphones, and want to process them through 4 independent effect chains. However the output from AVAudioInputNode is a single 4 channel bus. How can I split this into 4 mono busses? The following code splits the input into 4 copies, and routes them through the effects, but each bus contains all four channels. How can I remap the channels to remove the unwanted channels from the bus? I tried using channelMap on the mixer node but that had no effect. I'm currently using this code primarily on iOS but it should be portable between iOS and MacOS. It would be possible to do this through a Matrix Mixer Node, but that seems completely overkill, for such a basic operation. I'm already using a Matrix Mixer to combine the inputs, and it's not well supported in AVAudioEngine. AVAudioInputNode *inputNode=[engine inputNode]; [inputNode setVoiceProcessingEnabled:NO error:nil]; NSMutableArray *micDestinations=[NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:trackCount]; for(i=0;i<trackCount;i++) { fixMicFormat[i]=[AVAudioMixerNode new]; [engine attachNode:fixMicFormat[i]]; // And create reverb/compressor and eq the same way... [engine connect:reverb[i] to:matrixMixerNode fromBus:0 toBus:i format:nil]; [engine connect:eq[i] to:reverb[i] fromBus:0 toBus:0 format:nil]; [engine connect:compressor[i] to:eq[i] fromBus:0 toBus:0 format:nil]; [engine connect:fixMicFormat[i] to:compressor[i] fromBus:0 toBus:0 format:nil]; [micDestinations addObject:[[AVAudioConnectionPoint alloc] initWithNode:fixMicFormat[i] bus:0] ]; } AVAudioFormat *inputFormat = [inputNode outputFormatForBus: 1]; [engine connect:inputNode toConnectionPoints:micDestinations fromBus:1 format:inputFormat];

Title says it all.

After investing more than a week into getting a bunch of audio unit projects converted into app + appex + framework, they all are now correctly loaded in-process in the demo host app that is part of Xcode's template. However, Logic Pro adamantly refuses to load them in-process. Does Logic Pro simply not do that ever, or is there some hint or configuration my plugins need to provide to enable that? If it is unsupported, will it be supported in some future version of Logic? The entire point of investing that week was performance, which is moot if it is impossible to test the impact of loading in-process in a real-world usage scenario.

Hello! I'm use AVFoundation for preview video and audio from selected device, and I try use AVAudioEngine for preview audio in real-time, but I can't or I don't understand how select input device? I can hear only my microphone in real-time So far, I'm using AVCaptureAudioPreviewOutput for in real-time hear audio, but I think has delay. On iOS works easy with AVAudioEngine, but on macOS bruh...
