Where can I find the documentation of the Genlock feature of the iPhone 17 Pro? How does it work and how can I use it in my app?

when I get results from picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) and I load the image using itemProvider .loadFileRepresentation (the itemProvider is the NSItemProvider provided by the PHPickerResult) will the url that's returned by this method be guaranteed to have the file extension ie, "file://image.jpeg" not "file://image" I want to know if i need to just check the extension to know its file type. (FYI in case this makes a difference, im only interested in user screenshots and screenrecordings)

I'm getting an error writing a ciImage as a heif image: // Create CIImage directly from pixel buffer let ciImage = CIImage(cvPixelBuffer: pixelBuffer, options: [CIImageOption.properties: combinedMetadata]) // Write HEIC synchronously do { try ciContext.writeHEIFRepresentation(of: ciImage, to: url, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: colorSpace) The error I'm getting is: Error Domain=CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey Code=3 "(null)" UserInfo={CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey=failed to write HEIC data to file., NSUnderlyingError=0x11b1a1ec0 {Error Domain=CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey Code=10 "(null)" UserInfo={CINonLocalizedDescriptionKey=failed to add image to the PhotoCompressionSession.}}} Both try ciContext.writeJPEGRepresentation(of: copiedCIImage, to: url, colorSpace: colorSpace, options: options) and try ciContext.writePNGRepresentation(of: copiedCIImage, to: url, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: colorSpace) work. I also verified that the code works with iOS 18. Is there something new we need to do for Heif images? Thanks in advance

Hello, I have a command line application that uses iTunesLibrary to "save" the state of what I have listened to. I have it run every night via a LaunchAgent. You can see the source here: https://github.com/bolsinga/itunes_json Prior to Sequoia it would run nightly. I'd just have to grant it access to the Music library once, and it would be fine thereafter. However with Sequoia it requires UI interaction to grant it access every time. This makes it no longer run unattended overnight, defeating its purpose. I have the console logs of when this happens. You can see it in my issue tracking it here: https://github.com/bolsinga/itunes_json/issues/410 One thing that makes me wonder is that it is a command line application, not a bundle. How do I make a command line application get access to MusicKit / iTunesLibrary, and keep it thereafter? I'd like to get my pre-Sequoia behavior back. I've filed FB15592660 too. I've granted it access to run in the background, as well as access to my Music library (please see attached screenshots).

Dear Sirs, I'd like to add an icon to my audio driver based on AudioDriverKit. This icon should show up left of my audio device in the audio devices dialog. For an Audio Server Plugin I managed to do this using the property kAudioDevicePropertyIcon and CFBundleCopyResourceURL(...) but how would you do this with AudioDriverKit? Should I use IOUserAudioCustomProperty or IOUserAudioControl and how would I refer to the Bundle? Is there an example available somewhere? Thanks and best regards, Johannes

Hi All I have some problem when I using the IOS 18.4.1 I have iphone16 pro and ipad Air, both are updated to IOS 18.4.1 I tried to following sample code. However, when I run the app around 30 seconds to 1 minutes, the application would be crashed When I using another Ipad with IOS 17, it would not have the same problem. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/createml/creating-an-action-classifier-model https://developer.apple.com/documentation/createml/detecting_human_actions_in_a_live_video_feed#overview%29,

Hello! I am having trouble setting start times for songs when using the ApplicationMusicPlayer. When I initialize a new MusicPlayer.Queue.Entry using the following constructor, I am seeing strange results: init( _ playableMusicItem: PlayableMusicItem, startTime: TimeInterval? = nil, endTime: TimeInterval? = nil ) It appears that any value I provide for startTime is also applied to the endTime. For example: MusicPlayer.Queue.Entry(playable, startTime: TimeInterval(30), endTime: TimeInterval(183)) provides the following console output: MusicPlayer.Queue.Entry(id: "3D6A3DA3-595E-4657-8DBA-DDD245BBB7EF", transientItem: PlayableMusicItem, startTime: 30.0, endTime: 30.0) I have also tried setting the endTime to nil with the same result. Does anyone have any experience setting start times for songs using the MusicKit ApplicationMusicPlayer? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am looking for a solution to programmatically, e.g. using AppleScript to import photos into the Photos library on MacOS and also push them to the shared library, like it can be done using the standard GUI of the Photos application. Maybe it is not possible using AppleScript, but using a short Swift script and PhotoKit, I do not not know. Any help is appreciated! Thomas

In our Apple TV application, we use the native AVPlayer for live playback functionality. Until tvOS 17.6 and during the tvOS 18 beta, the Pause/Resume feature worked as expected, allowing us to pause live playback. However, after updating to tvOS 18.1, the pause functionality no longer works. The same app still works fine on tvOS 17, but on tvOS 18, attempting to pause live playback has no effect. We reviewed the tvOS 18 release notes but couldn't find any relevant changes or deprecations related to AVPlayer or live playback behavior. Has there been any change in the handling of live playback or the Pause/Resume functionality in tvOS 18.1? Any guidance or suggestions to address this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey everyone😊, I am building an app that includes a live camera feed preview. That's all I need to do along side identifying the images with createML's image classification. I don't need to capture images at all. I've seen some very complicated tutorials. I just want to use a couple of lines of code.

Here is the demo from Apple's site This issues is specific to iOS 18. When running this demo, we are getting new text when we have a gap in speaking, the recognitionTask(with:resultHandler:) provides new text which is only spoken after the gap and not the concatenation of old text and the new spoken text.

I found that when the development tool above Xcode16 ran my app, I opened the suspended inscription function, and then opened the system camera, the content in the suspended window would not be displayed, and the suspended window would have a black screen. However, this phenomenon does not appear on Xcode15.4 development tools, it is the same code, I do not know why

I am a developer working on iOS apps. In the demo, I planned to replace the local images with Heic format instead of PNG format, but the actual test results showed abnormalities on this device, while the other test devices displayed normally Heic images are converted by the built-in image conversion function on Mac. I tested multiple Heic images, but none of them were displayed and the image information returned nil,,but PNG images can be displayed normally. device information:

I’m working on a macOS app, written in Swift. My goal is to record audio from an external microphone, e.g., one connected via USB. For this, I’m using an AVCaptureSession and recording its output with an AVAssetWriter. This works perfectly in principle (and reliably with internal microphones, for example). The problem occurs after my app has successfully completed the first recording and I then want to make additional recordings (which makes me think it might be process-dependent, because it works again after restarting the app). The problem: Noisy or distorted-sounding audio files. In addition, the following error message appears in the Console from CoreAudio / its AudioConverter: Input data proc returned inconsistent 512 packets for 2048 bytes; at 3 bytes per packet, that is actually 682 packets It is easy to reproduce. This problem is reproducible even if I don’t configure the AVAssetWriter manually and instead let it receive its audioSettings using a preset from an AVOutputSettingsAssistant. I’m running on macOS 15.0 (24A335). I’ve filed a feedback including a demo project → FB15333298 🎟️ I would greatly appreciate any help! Have a great day, Martin

i tried combine speech detector and speech transciber to anlayzer. but speech detector is not speech module. please help me

I've been having issues with authorization after switching from v1 to v3, have tried some of the suggestions provided by someone in a reply to a post of mine. Have tried to reach out to Apple Support a few times as well, though I haven't received any support that has helped me to move forward. I have tested my token at https://jwt.io and I'm getting a "Signature Verified", tried multiple browsers in private/incognito mode, now when I try to sign into my Apple Account to test my player I am receiving an error that stats "There is a Problem Connecting. There May be an Issue with Your Network." (which is not the case). I have tried everything I can think of, I'm at a loss and would appreciate any help to get my project moving forward. This is what I am seeing in the browser developer console (using Firefox): Authorization failed: AUTHORIZATION_ERROR: Unauthorized MKError https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v3/musickit.js:13 authorize https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v3/musickit.js:28 asyncGeneratorStep$w https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v3/musickit.js:28 _next https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v3/musickit.js:28 media.mydomain.com:398:19 https://media.mydomain.com/:398

I'm unable to play music using Musickit.js in the Chrome or Firefox browsers. Even using the apple guide here: https://js-cdn.music.apple.com/musickit/v1/index.html - I've added my Music Developer Token and song/album url, but it only works in Safari and not in Chrome or Firefox. I'm unsure if this is a global issue, or if there is something I need to do to enable playback in other browsers, but as it stands it's not working for me. Thanks for any help in advance!

Our iOS/AppleTV video content playback app uses AVPlayer to play HLS video streams and supports both custom and system playback UIs. The Fairplay content key is retrieved using AVContentKeySession. AirPlay is supported too. When the iPhone is connected to a TV through the lightning Apple Digital AV Adapter (A1438), the app is mirrored as expected. Problem: when using an iPhone or iPad on iOS 18.1.1, FairPlay-protected HLS streams are not played and a CoreMediaErrorDomain -12035 error is received by the AVPlayerItem. Also, once the issue has occurred, the mirroring freezes (the TV indefinitely displays the app playback screen) although the app works fine on the iOS device. The content key retrieval works as expected (I can see that 2 content key requests are made by the system by the way, probably one for the local playback and one for the adapter, as when AirPlaying) and the error is thrown after providing the AVContentKeyResponse. Unfortunately, and as far as I know, there is not documentation on CoreMediaErrorDomain errors so I don't know what -12035 means. The issue does not occur: on an iPhone on iOS 17.7 (even with FairPlay-protected HLS streams) when playing DRM-free video content (whatever the iOS version) when using the USB-C AV Adapter (whatever the iOS version) Also worth noting: the issue does not occur with other video playback apps such as Apple TV or Netflix although I don't have any details on the kind of streams these apps play and the way the FairPlay content key is retrieved (if any) so I don't know if it is relevant.
