I have both apple devices, AirPods Pro 3 is up to date and Ultra 3 is on watch os 26.1 latest public beta. Each morning when I would go on my mindfulness app and start a meditation or listen to Apple Music on my watch and AirPods Pro 3, it will play for a few seconds then disconnects. My bluetooth settings on my watch says my AirPods is connected to my watch. I also have removed the tick about connecting automatically to iPhone on the AirPods setting in my iPhone. To fix this I invariably turn off my Apple Watch Ultra 3 and turn it on again. Then the connection becomes stable. I am not sure why I have to do this each morning. It is frustrating. I am not sure why this fix does not last long? Is there something wrong with my AirPods? Has anyone encountered this before?

Hi everyone, I’m working on an iOS MusicKit app that overlays a metronome on top of Apple Music playback. To line the clicks up perfectly I’d like access to low-level audio analysis data—ideally a waveform / spectrogram or beat grid—while the track is playing. I’ve noticed that several approved DJ apps (e.g. djay, Serato, rekordbox) can already: • Display detailed scrolling waveforms of Apple Music songs • Scratch, loop or time-stretch those tracks in real time That implies they receive decoded PCM frames or at least high-resolution analysis data from Apple Music under a special entitlement. My questions: 1. Does MusicKit (or any public framework) expose real-time audio buffers, FFT bins, or beat markers for streaming Apple Music content? 2. If not, is there an Apple program or entitlement that developers can apply for—similar to the “DJ with Apple Music” initiative—to gain that deeper access? 3. Where can I find official documentation or a point of contact for this kind of request? I’ve searched the docs and forums but only see standard MusicKit playback APIs, which don’t appear to expose raw audio for DRM-protected songs. Any guidance, links or insider tips on the proper application process would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.

My implementation of LockedCameraCapture does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully. Standard Xcode target template: Lock_Screen_Capture.swift @main struct Lock_Screen_Capture: LockedCameraCaptureExtension { var body: some LockedCameraCaptureExtensionScene { LockedCameraCaptureUIScene { session in Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder(session: session) } } } Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder.swift: import SwiftUI import UIKit import UniformTypeIdentifiers import LockedCameraCapture struct Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let session: LockedCameraCaptureSession var sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType = .camera init(session: LockedCameraCaptureSession) { self.session = session } func makeUIViewController(context: Self.Context) -> UIImagePickerController { let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController() imagePicker.sourceType = sourceType imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UTType.image.identifier, UTType.movie.identifier] imagePicker.cameraDevice = .rear return imagePicker } func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController, context: Self.Context) { } } Then I have my widget: struct CameraWidgetControl: ControlWidget { var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration { StaticControlConfiguration( kind: "com.myCompany.myAppName.lock-screen") { ControlWidgetButton(action: MyAppCaptureIntent()) { Label("Capture", systemImage: "camera.shutter.button.fill") } } } } My AppIntent: struct MyAppContext: Codable {} struct MyAppCaptureIntent: CameraCaptureIntent { typealias AppContext = MyAppContext static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "MyAppCaptureIntent" static let description = IntentDescription("Capture photos and videos with MyApp.") @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result() } } The Issue LockedCameraCapture Widget does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. You get the Face ID prompt and takes you to just Home Screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully. Error Message When tapped on Lock Screen, I get the following error code: LaunchServices: store ‹private > or url ‹private > was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo=&NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler} Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. Failed to initialize client context with error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo=&NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler} Things I tried Widget image displays correctly App ID and the Provisioning Profile seem to be fine since they work fine when the same code injected in to AVCam sample app and when used the same App ID's. AppIntent file contains the target memberships of the Lock Screen capture and Widget Apple compiles without errors or warnings.

{ "aps": { "content-available": 1 }, "audio_file_name": "ding.caf", "audio_url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3" } When the app is in the background or killed, it receives a remote APNs push. The data format is roughly as shown above. How can I play the MP3 audio file at the specified "audio_url"? The user does not need to interact with the device when receiving the APNs. How can I play the audio file immediately after receiving it?

If I fetch a library playlist like the generated "Favorites" playlist via MusicKit like this guard let initialTracks = try await playlist.with([.tracks]).tracks else { return nil } I get a list of tracks like this: ... TrackID: i.e5gmPS6rZ856 TrackID: i.4ZQMxU0OxNg0 TrackID: i.J198KH4P85K4 TrackID: i.J1AaRC4P85K4 TrackID: i.4BPqWt0OxNg0 TrackID: 4473570282773028026 TrackID: 4473570282773028025 TrackID: 4015088256684964387 TrackID: 4473570282773028024 TrackID: 7541557725362154249 TrackID: 4473570282773028027 I save the IDs for later use, but when I want to fetch them, only the ones with ids that starts with "i." work. static func getLibrarySong(from id: String) async -> Song? { var request = MusicLibraryRequest<Song>() request.filter(matching: \.id, equalTo: MusicItemID(id)) do { let response = try await request.response() return response.items.first } catch { ... } } Or the Apple Music API endpoint : static func getLibrarySongFromAPI(with id: String) async -> Song? { guard let url = AppleMusicURL.getURL(for: .getSongById, id: id) else { return nil } do { let dataRequest = MusicDataRequest(urlRequest: URLRequest(url: url)) let dataResponse = try await dataRequest.response() let response = try JSONDecoder().decode(SongsResponse.self, from: dataResponse.data) return response.data.first } catch { ... } } Both functions above won't work for the non numeric like 4473570282773028024 so it seems the ID is wrong, but how do I make it work? Otherwise I can fetch all the songs fine, in catalog or in the library, but these few songs can't be individually fetched, only with the try await playlist.with([.tracks])` fetch, that gets the whole playlist. But obviously this isn't always possible. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I try to record audio on the iPhone with the AVAudioRecorder and Xcode 26.0.1. Maybe the problem is that I can not record audio with the simulator. But there's a menu for audio. In the plist I added 'Privacy - Microphone Usage Description' and I ask for permission before recording. if await AVAudioApplication.requestRecordPermission() { print("permission granted") recordPermission = true } else { print("permission denied") } Permission is granted. let settings: [String : Any] = [ AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC, AVSampleRateKey: 12000, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 1, AVEncoderAudioQualityKey: AVAudioQuality.high.rawValue ] recorder = try AVAudioRecorder(url: filename, settings: settings) let prepared = recorder.prepareToRecord() print("prepared started: \(prepared)") let started = recorder.record() print("recording started: \(started)") started is always false and I tried many settings.

I'm at my wit's end with a problem I'm facing while developing an app. The app is designed to send video captured on an iPhone to a browser application for real-time display. While it works on many older iPhone models, whenever I test it on an iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max, the video displayed in the browser becomes a solid green screen, or a colorful, garbled image that's mostly green. I've been digging into this, and my main suspicion is an encoding failure. It seems the resolution of the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras was significantly increased on the 17 Pro and Pro Max (from 12MP to 48MP), and I think this might be overwhelming the encoder. I'm really hoping someone here has encountered a similar issue or has any suggestions. I'm open to any information or ideas you might have. Please help!

We have been using passthrough in screen capture since visionOS26 with broadcast upload extension which was working in visionOS2.2 but now with visionOS26 it doesn't update. It fails with Invalid Broadcast session started, after a few seconds of starting the broadcast session. Is there a bug filed for it? or is it a known bug for it?

Hi everyone, I am currently on MacOS Tahoe (26.1), and for some weird reason my mac is not connecting via HDMI. To be accurate: it is connecting and the LG TV shows up in the Displays settings, but no image shows up in it, I have no idea why. This used to work as I've tried this cable before with the same exact tv. The cable is a basic Amazon Basics HDMI one. Allow me just to advanced this question a little: usually terminal commands are more advanced recommendations, whereas basic questions like "have you connected it right" are just a waste of time

Hi everyone 👋 I’m building an iOS app in Swift where I want to do the following: Record the user’s voice Transcribe the spoken sentence (speech-to-text) Auto-detect the spoken language Translate it to another language selected by the user (e.g., English → Spanish or Hindi → English) Speak back (text-to-speech) the translated text on the same device Is this possible to record via phone mic and play the transcribe voice into headphone's audio?

Hi, I'm working an a video editing software that lets you composite and export videos. I use a custom compositor to apply my effects etc. In my crash dashboard, I am seeing a report of an EXC_BAD_ACCESS crash from objc_msgSend. Below is the stacktrace. libobjc.A.dylib objc_msgSend libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_sync_invoke_and_complete_recurse libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_sync_f_slow [symbolication failed] libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_client_callout libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_lane_barrier_sync_invoke_and_complete AVFCore -[AVCustomVideoCompositorSession(AVCustomVideoCompositorSession_FigCallbackHandling) _customCompositorShouldCancelPendingFrames] AVFCore _customCompositorShouldCancelPendingFramesCallback MediaToolbox remoteVideoCompositor_HandleVideoCompositorClientMessage CoreMedia __figXPCConnection_CallClientMessageHandlers_block_invoke libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_call_block_and_release libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_client_callout libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_lane_serial_drain libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_lane_invoke libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh libdispatch.dylib _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread libsystem_pthread.dylib _pthread_wqthread libsystem_pthread.dylib start_wqthread What stood out to me is that this is only being reported from IOS 26.0+ devices.

What are the possible root-causes, and how can I verify/eliminate them? Thanks,

Hi, I'm trying to setup a AVAudioEngine for USB Audio recording and monitoring playthrough.

I am trying to use SpeechTranscriber from Speech framework. Is it possible to use it on Simulator of iOS 26 (Mac OS Tahoe)? Function "supportedLocales" returns an empty array.

Just downloaded iOS 26.1 and my phone keeps ringing after the call has been answered. Any fixes for this?

I have an iPadOS M-processor application with two different running configurations. In config1, the shared AVAudioSession is configured for .videoChat mode using the built-in microphone. The input/output nodes of the AVAudioEngine are configured with voice processing enabled. The built-in mic is formatted for 1 channel at 48KHz. In config2, the shared AVAudioSession is configured for .measurement mode using an external USB microphone. The input/output nodes of the AVAudioEngine are configured with voice processing disabled. The external mic is formatted for 2 channels at 44.1KHz I've written a configuration manager designed to safely switch between these two configurations. It works by stopping AVAudioEngine and detaching all but the input and output nodes, updating the shared audio session for the desired mic and sample-rates, and setting the appropriate state for voice processing to either true or false as required by the configuration. Finally the new audio graph is constructed by attaching appropriate nodes, connecting them, and re-starting AVAudioEngine I'm experiencing what I believe is a race-condition between switching voice processing on or off and then trying to re-build and start the new audio graph. Even though notifications, which are dumped to the console indicate that my requested input and sample-rate settings are in place, I crash when trying to start the audio engine because the sample-rate is wrong. Investigating further it looks like the switch from remote I/O to voice-processing I/O or vice-versa has not yet actually completed. I introduced a 100ms second delay and that seems to help but is obviously not a reliable way to build software that must work consistently. How can I make sure that what are apparently asynchronous configuration changes to the shared audio session and the input/output nodes have completed before I go on? I tried using route change notifications from the shared AVAudioSession but these lie. They say my preferred mic input and sample-rate setting is in place but when I dump the AVAudioEngine graph to the debugger console, I still see the wrong sample rate assigned to the input/output nodes. Also these are the wrong AU nodes. That is, VPIO is still in place when RIO should be, or vice-versa. How can I make the switch reliable without arbitrary time delays? Is my configuration manager approach appropriate (question for Apple engineers)?

Hi everyone, After updating my Apple TV HD (model A1625) to tvOS 26, I’ve noticed a significant spike in CPU usage—up to 3× higher than before the update. Go from around 40% to 120% Model: Apple TV HD (A1625) tvOS Version: 26 (stable release) and beta version of 26.1, App downgrade stream due to lack of cpu power If anyone else is experiencing this, please share your findings or workarounds. Would love to hear from Apple engineers or other developers if this is a known regression or if there’s a recommended fix. Thanks!

My audio app shows a control bar at the bottom of the window. The controls show nicely, but there is a black "slab" appearing behind the inline controls, the same size as the playerView. Setting the player view background color does nothing: playerView.wantsLayer = true playerView.layer?.backgroundColor = NSColor.clear.cgColor How can I clear the background? If I use .floating controlsStyle, I don't get the background "slab".

I discovered when editing photos with the PhotoKit API, PHContentEditingOutput's renderedContentURL is a file in the app container's tmp directory with a filename that seems to follow the format render.<uuid>.JPG, and that file does not get deleted if the edit does not complete successfully (the user cancels the edit request, an error occurs, the app crashes, etc). I understand the system is supposed to automatically delete tmp files every once in a while, but some users are noticing my app's Documents & Data inflates, so I'm considering deleting these render files each time the app is launched. But I don't want to delete everything in the tmp directory as there could possibly be other data in there. What's the best way to remove those temporary files? Does the filename always start with render. no matter the device language? I thought I'd delete files in NSTemporaryDirectory() with that prefix but then I discovered in Mac Catalyst the location is not the tmp directory directly, they're in tmp/TemporaryItems/<bundleid>. Thanks!
