Hey, I have a complex CIFilter chain I'm trying to debug to improve processing time. Is there any documentation on what all the colours mean and the naming, e.g. sRGB Linear_to_workspace? Thanks Alex

Hello! I am building a video camera app and trying to implement Apple log for iPhone 15 Pro and 16 Pro. I am not seeing a lot of documentation on it and notice the amount of apps that use it on the app is rather limited. Less an 5 to be exact. Is Apple Log recording a feature that is accessible to developers? Here is a link to documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avcapturecolorspace/applelog

I see in most of the old sample codes from Apple that when using AVAssetWriter to append audio, video, and metadata samples in a real time camera recording setup, calls to .append(sampleBuffer) are either synchronised using an NSLock or all the samples are sent to the asset writer on the same dispatch queue thereby preventing concurrent writes. However I can't find any documentation that calls to assetWriterInput.append(sampleBuffer) for different media samples such as Audio and Video should not be done concurrently. Is it not valid for these methods to be executed in parallel for instance? `videoSamplesAssetWriterInput.append(videoSampleBuffer)` from DispatchQueue 1 `audioSamplesAssetWriterInput.append(audioSampleBuffer)` from DispatchQueue 2

Can some one please answer me How Can I update the cookies of the previously set m3u8 video in AVPlayer without creating the new AVURLAsset and replacing the AVPlayer current Item with it

I have tried everything. The songs load unto the playlists and on searches, but when prompted to play, they just won't play. I have a wrapper since my main player (which carries the buttons for play/rewind/forward/etc.), is in Objc. // // ApplePlayerWrapper.swift // UniversallyMac // // Created by Dorian Mattar on 11/10/24. // import Foundation import MusicKit import MediaPlayer @objc public class MusicKitWrapper: NSObject { @objc public static let shared = MusicKitWrapper() private let player = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared // Play the current track @objc public func play() { guard !player.queue.entries.isEmpty else { print("Queue is empty.

Thanks!

I am trying to get access to raw audio samples from mic. I've written a simple example application that writes the values to a text file. Below is my sample application. All the input samples from the buffers connected to the input tap is zero. What am I doing wrong? I did add the Privacy - Microphone Usage Description key to my application target properties and I am allowing microphone access when the application launches. I do find it strange that I have to provide permission every time even though in Settings > Privacy, my application is listed as one of the applications allowed to access the microphone. class AudioRecorder { private let audioEngine = AVAudioEngine() private var fileHandle: FileHandle? func startRecording() { let inputNode = audioEngine.inputNode let audioFormat: AVAudioFormat #if os(iOS) let hardwareSampleRate = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().sampleRate audioFormat = AVAudioFormat(standardFormatWithSampleRate: hardwareSampleRate, channels: 1)! #elseif os(macOS) audioFormat = inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0) // Use input node's current format #endif setupTextFile() inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: audioFormat) { [weak self] buffer, _ in self!.processAudioBuffer(buffer: buffer) } do { try audioEngine.start() print("Recording started with format: \(audioFormat)") } catch { print("Failed to start audio engine: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } func stopRecording() { audioEngine.stop() audioEngine.inputNode.removeTap(onBus: 0) print("Recording stopped.") } private func setupTextFile() { let tempDir = FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory let textFileURL = tempDir.appendingPathComponent("audioData.txt") FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: textFileURL.path, contents: nil, attributes: nil) fileHandle = try? FileHandle(forWritingTo: textFileURL) } private func processAudioBuffer(buffer: AVAudioPCMBuffer) { guard let channelData = buffer.floatChannelData else { return } let channelSamples = channelData[0] let frameLength = Int(buffer.frameLength) var textData = "" var allZero = true for i in 0..<frameLength { let sample = channelSamples[i] if sample != 0 { allZero = false } textData += "\(sample)\n" } if allZero { print("Got \(frameLength) worth of audio data on \(buffer.stride) channels. All data is zero.") } else { print("Got \(frameLength) worth of audio data on \(buffer.stride) channels.") } // Write to file if let data = textData.data(using: .utf8) { fileHandle!.write(data) } } }

Support external cameras in your iPadOS app and use Swift to read multiple camera feeds? thanks

I set both the AVCapturePhotoOutput and the AVCapturePhotoSettings with maxPhotoDimensions = .init(width: 8064, height: 6048), but still get the 12mp photo.

ApplicationMusicPlayer with queue created from playlist crashes with random occurrence shortly after skipping back or forth using controls embedded in the notification, with the error on console log: applicationController: xpc service connection interrupted. I've noticed that the issue occurs more frequently the shorter is time between skipping entries. Since ApplicationMusicPlayer is run on a remote process, the main app does not crash, but the music stops playing without any exception, and the playback control turns uninitiated. Here is how I'm initiating the queue: let entries = playlist .with(.entries).entries! .map { ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue.Entry($0) } ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue = .init( entries, startingAt: entries.last ) Please give me some tips on how to solve this. EDIT: The issue does not occur when navigating quickly through the station.

I've been working with MusicKit without enrolling for a developer account and I haven't run into any issues until I noticed nil on the SysteyMusicPlayer item for some songs and I don't understand why. Are some songs blocked from the framework? Or is it somehow a limitation to not having registered MusicKit to the bundle ID? I am planning on using MusicKit properly in prod and this is just a test app for a package I'm working on. These are the nil songs which I got from the Discovery Station: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/okay/950816298?i=950816304 https://music.apple.com/ca/album/youre-so-cool/1670485433?i=1670485446

Hello, I'm sporadically getting the unknown CoreHaptics error described in the title, when trying to create a CHHapticPatternPlayer from an .ahap file — this does not occur in a repeatable manner, unfortunately... This occurs in a SpriteKit game, running on both iOS 17 and 18. Anyone know what the error means, since it's apparently undocumented? Note that the haptics engine is started right before creating the pattern, and the start request doesn't appear to fail... Thanks, D.

is forKey:fileSize considered accessing non-public API? has your app been rejected at review stage due to this? let resources = PHAssetResource.assetResources(for: asset) if let resource = resources.first { if let fileSize = resource.value(forKey: "fileSize") as? Int { return fileSize } }

I recently installed a rear-view camera in my car, and ever since, I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with my CarPlay. After about 15 seconds of playing audio via Bluetooth, the sound stops coming out of the speakers, even though the song continues to run in the background. For context, my stereo system is an aftermarket unit that I installed to enable CarPlay functionality. Everything worked perfectly before adding the rear-view camera. Unfortunately, my unit does not have a port for a wired connection, so I can't test the audio using a cable. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Could the camera installation be interfering with the Bluetooth or audio system somehow? Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

I am reaching out regarding an issue with my Apple FairPlay Streaming Certificate. To generate the certificate signing request (CSR), I used the following OpenSSL commands: openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 1024 openssl req -new -key private_key.pem -out request.csr However, according to the guide provided by Apple and instructions from my DRM provider, I should have used: openssl genrsa -aes256 -out privatekey.pem 1024 openssl req -new -sha1 -key privatekey.pem -out certreq.csr -subj "/CN=SubjectName /OU=OrganizationalUnit /O=Organization /C=US" I suspect this discrepancy might be causing the issue with my FairPlay certificate. After obtaining the fairplay.cer file and importing it into Keychain Access, I noticed the following: When I expand the certificate in Keychain Access, I can only see a public key and no private key. As a result, I am unable to export the certificate as a .p12 file, as this option is disabled. As per my DRM provider's instructions, I need to export the certificate along with the corresponding private key as a .p12 file with a password. Since the private key is not visible in Keychain Access, I am unable to proceed further. I have read the FairPlay Streaming Overview but could not find any reasons as to why this issue is occurring or guidance on the procedure to revoke a certificate. Additionally, I came across the terms and conditions which mentioned reaching out to product-security at Apple for assistance in revoking corrupt certificates. However, despite reaching out, I have not received a response. Any help on how to proceed will be great!

Can anyone explain how AVAssetExportSession works in iOS 18 and earlier versions?

Hello everyone, I need some help about this things. If you also know, pls comment. Overview We are planning to develop an app using the “Support external cameras in your iPadOS app” feature introduced in iPadOS 17. Before implementing this feature, it is necessary for the iPad to recognize external cameras. However, among the iPad models compatible with iPadOS 17, we have found that some of the iPads owned by our development team can recognize external cameras, while others cannot. If you have any reports regarding compatibility issues or information on how to resolve these problems, please share them with us. Detailed Explanation: The results of our investigation are as follows: External Camera Used: A 360-degree camera Devices Firmware RICOH Theta X 2.61.0（2024/12/26Latest） RICOH Theta Z1 Tested iPad Devices Firmware Status 12.9インチiPad Pro（第3世代） IOS 17.5.1 OK 11インチiPad Pro（M4） IOS 18.2 NG Verification Method Step 1: Power on the iPad and the external camera, ensuring both are ready for connection. Step 2: Connect the iPad and the external camera using a USB-C cable. Step 3: Launch FaceTime on the iPad and check the displayed camera feed. If the external camera is recognized, the feed from the external camera will be displayed.

I've got a web app built with MusicKit that displays a list of songs. I have player controls for play, pause, skip next, skip, previous, toggle shuffle and set repeat mode. All of these work by using music. The play button, when nothing is playing and nothing is in the queue, will enqueue all the tracks and start playing with the below, for example: await music.setQueue({ songs, startPlaying: true }); I've implemented a progress slider based on feedback from the "playbackProgressDidChange" listener. Now, how in the world can I set the volume? This seems like it should be simple, but I am at a complete loss here. The docs say: "The volume of audio playback, which is set directly on the HTMLMediaElement as the HTMLMediaElement.volume property. This value ranges between 0, which would be muting the audio, and 1, which would be the loudest possible." Given that all my controls work off the music instance, I don't understand how I can do that. In this video from WWDC 2022, music web components are touched on briefly. These are also documented very sparsely. The volume docs are here. For the life of me, I can't even get the volume web component to display in the UI. It appears that MusicKit Web is hobbled compared to the native implementation, but surely adjusting volume shouldn't be that hard right? I'd appreciate any insight on how to do this, including how to get web components to work (in a Next JS app). Thanks.

Hi everyone, I wanted to bring up a question about Core Audio and its potential for future updates or improvements, specifically regarding latency optimization. As someone who relies on Core Audio for real-time audio processing, any enhancements in this area would be incredibly beneficial for professionals in the industry. Does anyone know if Apple has shared any plans or updates regarding Core Audio’s performance, particularly for low-latency applications? I’d appreciate any insights or advice from the community! Thanks so much! Best, Michael

If I call AudioDeviceStart on an AudioDevice in my application then "Hey Siri!" will not wake Siri up. Our users have complained that Siri does not get activated with my application is running. We found that calling AudioDeviceStart is causing the issue. How should we handle this?
