We are seeking assistance regarding an ongoing issue with FairPlay Streaming (FPS) certificates in our Apple Developer account. We are currently unable to generate a new FairPlay Streaming certificate because the Apple Developer portal displays: “Maximum number of certificates generated” The FairPlay Streaming Certificate option is disabled, and there is no option available to generate a new certificate. We have also checked our existing FairPlay Streaming certificates. When opening an existing certificate, the certificate details page only provides a Download option. There is no option to Revoke, Delete, or Remove the existing FairPlay Streaming certificate. We have attached screenshots showing: The FairPlay Streaming Certificate section displaying “Maximum number of certificates generated.” An existing FairPlay Streaming Certificate showing only the Download option, with no option to revoke or delete it. The FairPlay Streaming Test Certificate option showing that we are not allowed to perform the operation and should contact Apple Developer Program Support. Account information: Entity Name: DIGIZION PRIVATE LIMITED Team ID: HK7FAN55HP Certificate Type: FairPlay Streaming Certificate Name: DIGIZION PRIVATE LIMITED Certificate Expiration: Never The reason we need a new FairPlay Streaming certificate is that our server infrastructure experienced a crash. As a result, we permanently lost the private keys and certificate-related credentials associated with our previous FairPlay Streaming setup. Unfortunately, we did not have a backup of these private keys. Because the private keys were lost, we are unable to use the existing certificate credentials with our new server infrastructure. We therefore need to generate a new FairPlay Streaming certificate and configure our production DRM infrastructure again. However, we are currently blocked because the certificate generation limit has been reached, while the Apple Developer portal does not provide us with any option to revoke, delete, or remove an existing FairPlay Streaming certificate. We have already submitted approximately 10 support requests/messages to Apple regarding this same issue, but we have not received a response providing a solution or instructions for resolving the certificate limit issue. Could someone from Apple Developer Support or the FairPlay Streaming team please review this issue and advise us on how we can resolve it? We would greatly appreciate assistance with one of the following: Revoke/remove an existing FairPlay Streaming certificate so that we can generate a new certificate; or Reset or increase the FairPlay Streaming certificate generation limit for our Team ID; or Provide the correct procedure or an Apple-side solution that will allow us to generate a new FairPlay Streaming certificate. We understand that FairPlay Streaming certificates may have certificate-generation limitations. However, in our situation, the previous server crash resulted in the permanent loss of our private keys, and we have no backup from which we can recover them. This issue is currently blocking our production DRM/FairPlay Streaming integration and preventing us from completing our production infrastructure setup. We would therefore greatly appreciate it if Apple Developer Support could review Team ID HK7FAN55HP and help us either revoke an existing certificate or reset/increase the certificate generation limit so that we can generate a new FairPlay Streaming certificate. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi, I'm currently experiencing issues with HLS streams created by FFmpeg running on Safari. When I pass the stream to the mediastreamvalidator tool and then run hlsreport on the output, I get a critical error reported: Media Entry discontinuity value does not match previous playlist for MEDIA-SEQUENCE 1 If I let the stream finish (it's a live stream from an IoT device) and then perform the stream validation again I no longer receive the critical error. My assumption is that this critical error is contributing to the HLS stall on iOS. I have also noticed that if I let the stream continue and then re-load the video control in Safari the stream starts Is there a resource with explanations or remediation paths relevant to the possible output of the hlsreport? My m3u8 output looks like this (I have redacted the server host) #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:6 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1 #EXT-X-PLAYLIST-TYPE:EVENT #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY #EXTINF:2.000000, https://redacted.com/segment-00001.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00002.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00003.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, https://redacted.com/segment-00004.ts #EXTINF:2.000011, #EXT-X-ENDLIST Thanks for any advice or guidance possible - if I can provide isolated code snippets I will do.

Keywords: FairPlay, FairPlay Streaming, FPS Certificate, DRM, Certificate Limit, License Server Hello Apple Developer Forums Team, We are seeking guidance regarding a FairPlay Streaming (FPS) certificate issue that is currently blocking our production DRM infrastructure. We previously generated FairPlay Streaming deployment credentials and have been using FairPlay Streaming for our protected video content. Unfortunately, our old server infrastructure crashed, and the private keys/credentials associated with the previously generated FairPlay Streaming certificate were permanently lost. As a result, we need to generate replacement FairPlay Streaming deployment credentials. However, when attempting to create a new FairPlay Streaming certificate, our Apple Developer account now displays the following error: “Maximum number of certificates generated.” The main issue is that the existing FairPlay Streaming certificates do not provide any option in the Apple Developer portal to revoke or delete them. Therefore, we are unable to remove obsolete or inaccessible certificate records and cannot generate replacement credentials. Our current situation is: We have reached the maximum number of FairPlay Streaming certificates allowed for our Developer Team. The Apple Developer portal does not provide a revoke or delete option for the existing FPS certificates. The private keys associated with our old FairPlay Streaming credentials were permanently lost after our previous server infrastructure crashed. We cannot recover or reuse those old credentials. We are unable to generate replacement FairPlay Streaming deployment credentials because the certificate generation limit has been reached. This is currently blocking our ability to restore and maintain our FairPlay-protected production streaming service. We have already contacted Apple Developer Support and submitted multiple follow-ups regarding this issue, but we have not yet received a solution that allows us to generate replacement credentials. We would like to understand the official Apple-supported process for the following situation: What is the supported procedure when a Developer Team reaches the maximum number of FairPlay Streaming certificates? If existing FPS certificates cannot be revoked or deleted through the Developer portal, is there an Apple-supported process to remove obsolete or inaccessible FPS certificate records? Can Apple reset or restore the FairPlay Streaming certificate generation capacity for a Developer Team when the old credentials and private keys are permanently unavailable? Is there another supported method for generating replacement FairPlay Streaming deployment credentials in this situation? We are not requesting general instructions on how to generate a FairPlay Streaming certificate. We understand the standard certificate generation process. Our issue is specifically related to an exhausted FPS certificate generation limit combined with the absence of a self-service revoke/delete option for the existing certificates. We would greatly appreciate guidance from Apple or the FairPlay Streaming team on how to resolve this issue and restore our ability to generate replacement FPS deployment credentials. Thank you for your assistance.

We keep live playback at a consistent distance from the live edge using small playback rate adjustments, with a target range based on recommendedTimeOffsetFromLive. Since the live edge is not exposed by AVPlayer, we currently fall back to seekableTimeRanges.end as our best approximation. What should be treated as the live edge, and how should the current live latency be measured? Is rate adjustment the appropriate way to hold a target latency? While playing above 1.0x, the playhead can reach the seekable end, at which point AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime fires and halts the live stream. How can we guard against ? Does any of this differ between regular HLS and LL-HLS? A clear statement of the intended contract here would resolve a lot of uncertainty. Thanks in advance.

Currently we are building a service based on Fairplay SDK version 26.0. Currently our solution is using version 4.5.4. When we run the below request to get version we get proper response curl http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/fps/v Response - V26.0 Our client applications call below two APIs https://GW_HOST:8080/fairplay_cert https://GW_HOST:8080/fairplay_license Within the cert API call, we are returning the fairplay public certificate. Currently we are trying to use the test certificate provided along with Fairplay SDK (test_fps_certificate_v26.bin) Then within the fairplay_license API call, we are trying to reach fairplay service based on Fairplay SDK v26 We are seeing some issues with below request(attaching the request json payload) curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @SDKValidation_NewCert.json http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/fps SDKValidation_NewCert.json We are getting below response from SDK {"fairplay-streaming-response":{"create-ckc":[{"id":1,"status":-42605}]}} When we checked the apache error logs in the file "/etc/httpd/logs/error_log" we see below error [DEBUG] ❌ Assertion failure: invalidCertificateErr (-42605) [src/extension.swift:249] This is looks to be some error related to certificate. As mentioned earlier, client application is making a certificate call where we are returning the certificate set up . These certificates are already configured in the credentials path. Also note that the test samples provided with the SDK return valid license response. We had earlier raised a similar ticket mentioned below and we were asked not to use test certs. So we have raise CSR and used new certs for testing. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/836652?page=1

I am using AVPlayer, but I am unable to retrieve PCM data from .m3u8 streams via the AVPlayerItemSampleBufferOutput API in iOS 27 beta. I have tried both the Objective-C and Swift APIs: the Objective-C delegate methods are not being called, and the Swift methods nextAvailableSampleBuffer() and nextSampleBuffer() are returning no data.

Hello, Could this please be forwarded to the team responsible for Apple Music / MusicKit commercial integrations, developer partnerships and licensing? I am currently assessing the feasibility of developing a commercial browser-based multiplayer music game and would like to understand whether Apple Music and MusicKit could support the proposed use case. At a high level, players would privately select tracks from the Apple Music catalogue within the game. Once selections are complete, the application would arrange the selected tracks for sequential playback through a shared host account/device. Players would then interact with those tracks through the game. The application would provide the game functionality and would not download, store or independently redistribute full music recordings. Before progressing with development, I would appreciate clarification on the following: Commercial game use: Is integration of the Apple Music catalogue and MusicKit playback functionality into a commercial multiplayer game permitted? If specific approval, licensing or a commercial agreement with Apple is required, what is the appropriate process? Monetisation: Can the game itself be monetised through subscriptions, one-off purchases/party passes or advertising, provided users are paying for the game functionality rather than access to Apple Music or its catalogue? Apple Music subscription requirements: Would the account providing full-track playback need an active Apple Music subscription? If so, would only the host/playback account require a subscription, while other participants could join the game, search/select tracks and vote without having an Apple Music subscription themselves? Commercial playback alternative: If an Apple Music subscription is required for full-track playback, does Apple offer any commercial, licensing or partnership arrangement whereby the game operator could fund the necessary playback rights directly, rather than requiring the host to hold an individual Apple Music subscription? Catalogue access: Can players search the Apple Music catalogue and select tracks from within the application without every participant individually authenticating with Apple Music or holding an Apple Music subscription? Track availability: Can MusicKit/API functionality confirm whether a selected track is available for playback in the host's storefront/territory before accepting the selection? Playback control: Can the application create and manage a temporary playback queue containing the selected tracks and initiate sequential playback through an authorised host account/device without requiring the host to manually locate and play each track in the Apple Music application? Audio previews: Are short audio previews available through Apple Music/MusicKit, and may these be used within a commercial multiplayer game to help users identify a track before selecting it? If so, are there restrictions on preview duration or monetised use? Multi-provider support: Would Apple's terms permit Apple Music to be offered as one of several supported music playback providers within the same application, allowing a host to choose Apple Music or another supported streaming service? Additional licensing: If full recordings continue to be delivered and played through Apple Music/MusicKit, would the game developer require any additional master recording, publishing, public-performance or other music licences directly from rights-holders or collecting societies? Web/browser implementation: As the initial product is intended to be browser-based rather than a native iOS application, can the above catalogue, authentication and playback functionality be implemented through MusicKit on the Web? Are there any material differences in commercial permissions or capabilities compared with a native MusicKit implementation? Scaling: Are there different MusicKit/API access, approval, rate-limit or commercial requirements if the application progresses from development/testing to a publicly available commercial product with a significant user base? At this stage I am primarily trying to establish whether a compliant technical and commercial model exists before investing in development. If this enquiry would be better directed to an Apple Music partnership, MusicKit, licensing or business-development team, I would appreciate being pointed towards the appropriate contact. I would be happy to provide further technical details about the proposed integration if required. Kind regards, Errol Brinkman

Hi, I have implemented a custom audio streaming protocol in my iOS app using AVCustomRoutingController to select my custom device. Playback and streaming works. However when the app is the background, it gets killed in a couple of seconds, like if it was not playing audio. My app has the Audio/AirPlay/PIP background mode and can play audio from the background when the route is a normal AVRoute from the system (Speaker/AirPlay/Bluetooth, etc). I tried starting an AVAudioSession (playback category, activated, with and without MPRemoteCommandCenter bindings and with and without populating NowPlayingInfoCenter) was hoping that if that is active, my app won't be killed. But it seems like it does get killed if the app is not producing audio using AudioOutputUnit/AVAudioEngine/AVPlayer. How does one supposed to stream audio from an app in the background using a custom protocol? The infamous "let's play silence to not get killed" solution works, but obviously that can't be the answer.

Our app was transferred to a different Apple Developer Program team. Our FairPlay Streaming deployment package (Application Certificate and ASk) was issued under the original team, whose membership has since expired. FairPlay playback continues to work normally. We understand from these threads that FPS does not enforce the Application Certificate's own expiration date: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/74831 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/763861 Our question is a different one — about the team's membership status rather than the certificate's validity period: Does the validity of an FPS deployment package depend in any way on the membership status of the team it was issued under, or are the credentials independent of that once issued? This is not a bug report. We would like to confirm the expected behaviour rather than rely on our own assumptions.

Hi, I submitted a FairPlay Streaming credentials approval request 5 days ago (through the "Request FairPlay Streaming credentials approval" form) and haven't received any response yet. Could someone from the Security Engineering team please check the status? Team ID: US7RGQX775 We're an online education platform and use a third-party DRM/video hosting provider (VdoCipher) that already operates a working, tested FairPlay Streaming KSM on our behalf — we just need the certificate to hand over to them. Thanks in advance!

I implemented an AVContentKeySessionDelegate that after calling processContentKeyRequest succeeds in producing a contentKey in the callback func contentKeySession(_: AVContentKeySession, didProvide _contentKey: AVContentKey) of the AVContentKeyRecipient that manages the decoding of CMSampleBuffers. However, when I store the AVContentKey from the contentKeySession callback and try to attach it to the CMSampleBuffer with AVSampleBufferAttachContentKey, I get the error: Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11836 "Cannot Open" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=This app is not authorized to play this file., NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot Open, NSUnderlyingError=0x28303a220 {Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-12161 "(null)"}} Does anyone have some insight on why this is happening and how to solve it?

Due to hysterical raisins, our Apple Developer Account (2A...FW) has five FairPlay Streaming resources under https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list Three of these are certificates (fairplay.cer) and two of them are provisioning packages (fps-bundle.zip). The three certificates all use 1024-bit RSA keys and have creation dates of: Oct 24 23:22:09 2016 (expired Oct 25 23:22:09 2018) 3J Mar 29 19:39:15 2018 (expired Mar 29 19:39:15 2020) 2N Feb 11 00:32:06 2026 (expires Feb 1 00:22:57 2027) LD (I've included the first two characters of the Apple resource ID to help keep these straight.) The key for the first two (same key for both) is lost to the mists of time. The third is a cert I created from a new key, so I have the key for it. (The developer portal will not let us create any more 1024-bit FairPlay certs.) The two FPS bundles each contain an fps_certificate.bin which itself contains a 1024-bit cert and a 2048-bit cert. Looking at this file in each bundle, the bundles include the same 1024-bit cert that I created on Feb 11, but two different 2048-bit certs with creation dates of: Feb 11 00:32:06 2026 (expires Feb 11 00:32:05 2028) YP Feb 11 00:56:22 2026 (expires Feb 11 00:56:21 2028) 9N Both 2048-bit certs use the same key (which I have). Finally, we use a third-party as our streaming provider. With them we shared the first FPS bundle (YP). So, this is a big mess. And I'm unable to delete any of these entries from our developer account. Questions: Does the expiration date on these certs matter or is it ignored for streaming purposes? How do we delete FP certs/bundles we no longer need/use/are expired? With respect to using third-party vendors for streaming (with whom we've shared an FPS bundle): Is it okay to re-use the same FPS bundle if we change vendors? Should we ask Apple to delete an FPS bundle once we stop using a vendor?

Hello, I cannot find reference to any possible limitation on ShazamKit. How many calls can I make per minute? Is there any limit at all? Thanks

Hello, I am developing a custom player SDK based on AVPlayer that supports HLS and LL-HLS playback on iOS. I have a question about AVPlayer's variant selection behavior with respect to the VIDEO-RANGE attribute. Setup Our multivariant playlist contains a ladder where the dynamic range differs per rung. Simplified example: #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=1200000,RESOLUTION=854x480,CODECS="hvc1.2.4.L93.B0",VIDEO-RANGE=SDR,FRAME-RATE=30.000 sdr_480p.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=3500000,RESOLUTION=1280x720,CODECS="dvh1.05.03",VIDEO-RANGE=PQ,FRAME-RATE=30.000 hdr_720p.m3u8 The lower rung(s) are SDR only, and HDR (Dolby Vision, VIDEO-RANGE=PQ) variants exist only at the higher rungs. There is no PQ variant at the low end and no SDR variant at the high end. Observed behavior On HDR-capable devices (AVPlayer.eligibleForHDRPlayback == true), playback starts on the SDR 480p variant and then never switches up to the HDR 720p variant, even when network throughput is clearly sufficient (verified via AVPlayerItemAccessLog.observedBitrate and variant switch events). ABR up-switching works as expected when all rungs share the same VIDEO-RANGE. Questions Is it expected behavior that AVPlayer confines ABR switching to variants of a single VIDEO-RANGE for the duration of an AVPlayerItem, i.e., it will not cross SDR <-> PQ/HLG boundaries at runtime? If so, is the VIDEO-RANGE group selected once at playback start based on display capability and the initially chosen variant, with all other ranges excluded from the eligible set? The HLS Authoring Specification for Apple devices requires parallel SDR ladders for backward compatibility (sections 1.24 / 6.16), which implies each VIDEO-RANGE should form a complete, self-contained ladder. Is a mixed-range ladder like the one above considered a non-conformant authoring pattern, and is completing the PQ ladder down to the lowest rungs the correct fix? Are there any public APIs that influence video-range selection for streaming playback (beyond eligibleForHDRPlayback, which is read-only)? I understand the ABR switching logic itself is not documented, but confirmation of the VIDEO-RANGE grouping behavior would help us author our ladders correctly. Thank you.

Environment: iOS 18 / iOS 26, AVPlayer + AVPlayerItem, live low-latency HLS (LL-HLS). Subtitle renditions are regular (non-forced) WebVTT: AUTOSELECT=YES, FORCED=NO. System captioning (Closed Captions + SDH) is OFF (default). Direct CDN, no P2P. Master playlist (subtitle part): #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="Korean (AI)",AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="kor",URI="..." #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="English (AI)",AUTOSELECT=YES,FORCED=NO,LANGUAGE="eng",URI="..." #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:...,SUBTITLES="subs" Problem When the user picks a subtitle language we call playerItem.select(option, in: legibleGroup) with an option that is a genuine member of the item's current legible group. Right after the call, item.currentMediaSelection.selectedMediaOption(in:) returns the requested option. But within ~2 seconds, on a subset of real-user sessions, the selection spontaneously reverts with no further app interaction: most often to Off (no legible output is delivered afterwards), or it stays stuck on the previously selected language (a subsequent select to another language, or to Off, is silently ignored). It is intermittent and only appears under real conditions (frequent live playlist reloads / reconnects); it does not reproduce in a short, clean session. What we verified The option passed to select(_:in:) is a real member of the current group (re-resolved from item.asset); the call returns without error and reads back correctly immediately after. appliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomatically is the default true. Per the AV Foundation Release Notes ("Advice about subtitles"), automatic selection excludes options that are not AVMediaCharacteristicContainsOnlyForcedSubtitles. So on each live reload the automatic re-selection resolves non-forced subtitles to Off, appearing to override the manual select(_:in:). Reading the selected option against a freshly obtained group instance returns the same value as against the original instance — so this is a real state change, not a mismatched-group read. Questions On live HLS reloads with appliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomatically == true, is manual select(_:in:) for .legible expected to be overridden by automatic media selection? If so, is setMediaSelectionCriteria(_:forMediaCharacteristic:) the intended way to persist a user's choice? setMediaSelectionCriteria for subtitles is itself reported as unreliable (sometimes no subtitles) — see thread 108403. What is the recommended, deterministic way to keep a user-selected non-forced subtitle displayed across live playlist reloads, including turning subtitles Off? Is this the same underlying behavior as FB13344652 ("Auto (Recommended) doesn't display subtitles despite language match / DEFAULT=YES")?

Hello Apple team, This issue is reproducible with AirPlay mirroring from an iPhone. When a video is played full screen in the Photos app and the user then switches to another app or enters the multitasking flow, the mirrored video output freezes completely on the receiving device. The AirPlay session appears to remain connected, but the receiver keeps displaying the last video frame and the mirrored stream does not recover automatically. Stopping and restarting AirPlay mirroring is required to recover. Environment: Sender: iPhone, iOS [26.5] Receiver: AirPlay receiver device/app The same behavior can also be reproduced when mirroring from iPhone to a Mac Source app: Photos Content: local video played in full screen Steps to reproduce: Start AirPlay mirroring from an iPhone to an AirPlay receiver. Open the Photos app on the iPhone. Play a local video in full screen. While the video is playing, switch to another app or enter the multitasking flow. Observe the mirrored output on the receiver side. Video Recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X9Mj9EB4IYZXjDdCaqrXfgg1PpbhZoUN/view?usp=sharing Expected behavior: AirPlay mirroring should continue smoothly after the app switch, or recover automatically when the source video/app state changes. Actual behavior: The mirrored video freezes completely. The AirPlay connection remains active, but no new video frames are rendered on the receiver side. The stream does not recover until AirPlay mirroring is stopped and restarted. Could Apple confirm whether this is a known AirPlay mirroring issue? Is there any recommended workaround, receiver-side handling, or additional diagnostic information that should be collected for this case?

Following the documented ImmersiveMediaSupport flow (NWBrowser → connectReceiver, NWListener → receiver.start(connection:)) with ImmersiveMediaPreviewMessagingProtocol.definition as the framer. Bonjour discovery works, but connectReceiver throws ImmersiveMediaRemotePreviewSession received invalid parameters (sometimes GKVoiceChatServiceErrorDomain 32032). The doc example leaves TLS as /* setup TLS security options */. What exact TLS configuration does the session require — a self-signed SecIdentity, TLS-PSK, a specific cipher/version? And should ImmersiveMediaRemotePreviewSender(networkParameters:) be nil (framework default) while only the NWBrowser/NWListener carry the TLS+framer params? A minimal working setupNWParameters() would unblock me. Thanks!
