Please consider adding the ability to programatically download Premium and Enhanced voices. At the moment it is extremely inconvenient for our users, as they have to navigate to settings themselves to download voices. Our app relies heavily on SpeechSynthesis integration, and it would greatly benefit from this feature. FB16307193

Keywords: FairPlay, FPS Certificate, DRM, FairPlay Streaming, license server Hi all, We are currently using FairPlay Streaming in production and already have an FPS certificate in place. However, the passphrase for the existing FPS certificate has unfortunately been lost. We are now considering reissuing a new FPS certificate, and I would like to confirm a few points before proceeding: 1️⃣ If we reissue a new FPS certificate, will the existing certificate be automatically revoked? Or will it remain valid until its original expiration date? 2️⃣ Is it possible to have both the newly issued and the existing certificates valid at the same time? In other words, can we serve DRM licenses using either certificate depending on the packaging or client? 3️⃣ Are there any caveats or best practices we should be aware of when reissuing an FPS certificate? For example, would existing packaged content become unplayable, or would CDN/packaging server configurations need to be updated carefully? Since this affects our production environment, we would like to minimize any service disruption or compatibility issues. Unfortunately, when we contacted Apple support directly, we were advised to post this question here in the Forums for additional guidance. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

I'm currently using ReplayKit for background screen recording, but I can't determine whether the screen is in landscape mode from the CMSampleBuffer. All other APIs for detecting screen orientation are foreground-based. What should I do?

When using the Apple Devices to sync Apple Music to iPhone where is the Apple Devices backup being written to? Apple Devices->music->sync. Not trying to backup the iPhone via Apple Devices app.

getting an interesting error attempting to compile my app in Xcode 26 beta. error: Unable to find module dependency: '_MediaPlayer_AppIntents' (in target 'icatcher' from project 'icatcher') note: A dependency of main module 'MainModuleCrossImportOverlays' (in target 'icatcher' from project 'icatcher') Unable to find module dependency: '_MediaPlayer_AppIntents' Not sure what to try and pull to fix this issue

There appears to be no method of going forward or backwards in Get Info in the Music application,

I maintain a couple of CoreImage libraries that provide custom Metal kernel backed CIFilters. In iOS/iPadOS 26, the CIColorKernel.apply() method invoked in the CIFilter subclass fails to add the coreimage::destination parameter to the Metal function call: -[CIColorKernel applyWithExtent:arguments:options:] argument count mismatch for kernel 'FractalNoise3D', expected 13 but saw 12. I've compiled the code with Xcode 26 and deployed to iOS 18 devices without any breakage, so this is definitely an iOS problem, not an Xcode problem.

The documentation for PHAssetChangeRequest.revertAssetContentToOriginal says it will fail if the original asset content is not on the current device so you should use PHAssetResourceManager to download it first, but this no longer seems to be the case in the latest iOS versions because an error no longer occurs when I take a photo on my iPhone, edit it, open Photos on my iPad and let it sync, then open my app on iPad and call revertAssetContentToOriginal for that asset. Does the system now take care of downloading the original when needed?

Some users have reported an error editing portrait photo assets in my app: The operation couldn’t be completed. (CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey error 3.) What is that error? Will affected photos always encounter this error (due to data corruption for example) or can it be resolved in a future iOS update? FB16241301

iOS 26 added smoothness to CIRoundedRectangleGenerator, for use with CIFilter.roundedRectangleGenerator. What should the smoothness value be to achieve the same corner curve as CALayerCornerCurve.continuous? Does it need to be calculated based on the extent size, if so, how?

When I play an HDR video in the iPhone Photos app, I can see the HDR effect obviously. But if this HDR video is played continuously for more than 30-40 minutes, the HDR effect will disappear and the brightness will be compressed to the SDR range. This issue will appear on any iPhone. Depending on the phone, it may be 20-30 minutes, or 30-40 minutes, or even a few minutes, such as iPhone 12 mini. Similarly, if I use AVPlayer to play and preview an HDR video, if it plays more than 30-40 minutes, the HDR effect will disappear and the screen brightness will dim. Also the currentEDRHeadroom will gradually decrease to 1 Note, test it with an HDR video longer than 1 hour, and if the video is short, please loop it. My question is how to avoid losing the HDR effect after 30-40 minutes when I use CAMetalLayer to render any HDR video.

I found that the aggregated device correctly obtains input channels in the standard microphone mode. However, in voice isolation mode, it only retrieves channels from the first sub-device in the aggregated device's list. If I want to properly obtain channel information in voice isolation mode, how should I do it?

Can i use iokit usb lib to disable build-in camera?

Hi, I'm developing a SwiftUI app using RealityKit and ARKit for an AR measuring feature. I’ve noticed that after navigating away from my AR view and performing extensive cleanup (including removing all anchors/entities, pausing the ARSession, and nil-ing out all references), memory usage remains elevated and sometimes grows with repeated AR sessions. Each time I enter and exit the AR view, memory increases The memory does not return to the baseline after cleanup, even though all custom objects are deallocated. Are there best practices beyond what I’ve described to ensure all ARKit/RealityKit resources are released after an AR session?

When I create a SFSpeechRecognizer object, I find SFLocalSpeechRecognitionClient remains in memory and never gets released. You can create a demo with a single UIButton whose touch action is SFSpeechRecognizer(locale: Locale(identifier: "zh_CN"))

Hi, On macOS I used to open MP3 and MP4 files with ExtAudioFile. For a few years it doesn't work anymore. So I decided to try different macOS API using the AudioFileID of AudioToolbox framework. I decided to write a test: https://gist.github.com/joelkraehemann/7f5b241b52ca38c3a765c138fb647588 It fails right here: AudioFileOpenWithCallbacks() By telling OSStatus error 1954115647, which means kAudioFileUnsupportedFileTypeError. The filename was set to an MP4 file: ~/Music/test.mp4 Howto fix this? regards, Joël

i have a wallpaper app , i need a photos access when i try to add it in capabilities i don't find it.is there any solution?

Your draft looks great! Here's a refined version with the iOS 17 comparison emphasized and slightly better flow: Hi Apple Engineers and fellow developers, I'm experiencing a critical regression with ShazamKit's background operation on iOS 18. ShazamKit's SHManagedSession stops identifying songs in the background after approximately 20 seconds on iOS 18, while the exact same code works perfectly on iOS 17. The behavior is consistent: the app works perfectly in the foreground, but when backgrounded or device is locked, it initially works for about 20 seconds then stops identifying new songs. The microphone indicator remains active suggesting audio access is maintained, but ShazamKit doesn't send identified songs in the background until you open the app again. Detection immediately resumes when bringing the app to foreground. My technical setup uses SHManagedSession for continuous matching with background modes properly configured in Info.plist including audio mode, and Background App Refresh enabled. I've tested this on physical devices running iOS 18.0 through 18.5 with the same results across all versions. The exact same code running on iOS 17 devices works flawlessly in the background. To reproduce: initialize SHManagedSession and start matching, begin song identification in foreground, background the app or lock device, play different songs which are initially detected for about 20 seconds, then after the timeout period new songs are no longer identified until you bring the app to foreground. This regression has impacted my production app as users who rely on continuous background music identification are experiencing a broken feature. I submitted this as Feedback ID FB15255903 last September with no solution so far. I've created a minimal demo project that reproduces this issue: https://github.com/tfmart/ShazamKitBackground Has anyone else experienced this ShazamKit background regression on iOS 18? Are there any known workarounds or alternative approaches? Given the time this issue has persisted, could we please get acknowledgment of this regression, expected timeline for a fix, or any recommended workarounds? Testing environment is Xcode 16.0+ on iOS 18.0-18.5 across multiple physical device models. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

In Final Cut Pro, keyframes for transform parameters (such as Position, Scale, and Rotation) are automatically set to “Smooth” interpolation. This often results in undesired easing between keyframes, especially when linear motion is required. Currently, we have to manually adjust each keyframe to "Linear" using the Video Animation Editor, which can be time-consuming when working with many keyframes. Would it be possible to add an option to set the default keyframe interpolation to "Linear"—either globally in Preferences or per parameter in the Inspector? This would greatly streamline the animation workflow for many editors. Thank you for considering this request!

I take that MusicKit JS is built with TypeScript, based on the attributions in the script: https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v3/musickit.js In the script it points to https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v1/acknowledgements.txt – I assume this should be the v3 URL for the v3 version? It returns the same content nonetheless. This contains attributions for TypeScript. Currently there's a third-party effort with DefinitelyTyped, which publishes the NPM package @types/musickit-js. The latest supported version available is v1. However, there is no version compatible with v3. This makes it hard to use MusicKit JS v3 in a TypeScript project. Please publish the types, ideally on the CDN along with the musickit.js file. Also consider publishing an officially Apple supported DefinitelyTyped package, or help to maintain the existing @types/musickit-js to make consuming this even easier.
