Hello, I don't run a podcast, therefore, I am not referring to the apple podcasts connect platform, and have been trying to get in contact with someone at Apple Podcasts. I would like to talk to developer support or someone who could consult on how to best approach something i'd like to build as an open source tool. I listen to a lot of podcasts and would like an analytics dashboard and toolset to take notes from the podcasts that I listen to on Apple Podcasts. Although, it would be just a good start to have analytics, accessing all of the info. I need to be able to plug into an API and pull all of that data from my account. Is there any way I can access this or talk to someone about this? I have a lot of historical data I assume from all of the shows i'm subscribed to and would like to visualize all of this. Is this possible? From my research, it seems that there is no way to access the information from the Podcasts app? Is there any infra for this?

Running in a Mac (Catalyst) target or Apple Silicon (designed for iPad). Just accessing the playbackStoreID from the MPMediaItem shows this error in the console: -[ITMediaItem valueForMPMediaEntityProperty:]: Unhandled MPMediaEntityProperty subscriptionStoreItemAdamID. The value returned is always “”. This works as expected on iOS and iPadOS, returning a valid playbackStoreID. import SwiftUI import MediaPlayer @main struct PSIDDemoApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { Text("playbackStoreID demo") .task { let authResult = await MPMediaLibrary.requestAuthorization() if authResult == .authorized { if let item = MPMediaQuery.songs().items?.first { let persistentID = item.persistentID let playbackStoreID = item.playbackStoreID // <--- Here print("Item \(persistentID), \(playbackStoreID)") } } } } } } Xcode 15.1, also tested with Xcode 15.3 beta 2. MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1 FB13607631

Given an MPMediaItem the user selected from MPMediaPickerController or from MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.nowPlayingItem, is it possible to find out if this song is lossless and if it supports Spatial Audio? Thanks!

Hey there, I'm trying to display all user's albums using the MediaPlayer library. I'm getting many albums returning nil, but I know artwork exists because they show up in the default Music app. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason for what shows up and what doesn't. All downloaded albums display artwork, but some cloud album artwork displays as well. Here's the code I'm using to debug this. let query = MPMediaQuery.albums() if let albumCollections = query.collections { albums = albumCollections } for album in albums { let artwork = album.representativeItem?.artwork print(artwork, artwork?.image(at: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100))) } Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Dev, Recently my client reported freezing the app screen when trying to dismiss it. Our application is related to music. When I checked the flow on the Simulator, I got the same case on the iPhone 15 series. I debugged the code and what I saw was CPU usage got 100% when I tried to pull down the model presented popover controller. I have checked the same flow multiple times and it worked 3-4 times and Additionally, it worked on some real devices and simulators too. So I can't understand what causing this issue. Can you please help me on this? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance!

Hi, In iOS 17.0 Apple introduced a favorite button for the music app. This favorite button is available everywhere including Control Center and CarPlay. My question is if there is a way to show/use this favorite button in my own app. Couldn't find it in the documentation. Thank you..!

I am detecting problems with the volume level with the Bluetooth connection after the iOS 17.2 update. Before this problem persisted on the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 15 Pro, after the 17.2 update it seems that the problem was fixed on the iPhone 11 but still It persists on the iPhone 15 Pro. I have never had problems with the volume level in my car, but something Apple has changed that continues to affect it. How can it be corrected? Thank you very much for your support. I did a test with the same song and the same volume level (maximum volume on the smartphone and volume 12 on my Suzuki Swift) and these were the decibels results obtained. The Iphone 11 and 15 Pro has updated to iOS 17.2

I am reaching out to you as I am currently trying to solve an issue involving AVPlayer, and I have encountered a challenge related to handling errors for video segments. In our implementation, we have noticed that AVPlayer tends to make contiuous calls to fetch the video segments when video segments returns errors. AVPlayer tries for approximately 30 seconds before throwing an error. We observed this issue when video segments return 404 or 5xx errors. Please fnd below screenshot for the same. Is there any recommended approach or configuration setting that can be applied to restrict the number of calls AVPlayer makes in such scenarios. We are particularly interested in finding a solution that can help reduce the number of calls that are made in case of such failures. I look forward to hearing from you soon and appreciate your support in resolving this matter.

Hi Everyone. I have designed an app using Adobe XD and now I am looking for an app builder to bring it to action. What do you suggest for a podcast app?

We are implementing new Live Activities in our app (we are a live shopping app). We also have PIP however i've noticed that when I start a live activity, then go into picture in picture, the dynamic island does not show the activity we've created for it. I can only see the activity on the lock screen widget while the audio for the videos plays. Is there any way to get the dynamic island to work with an app that is also in picture in picture? If there is and I'm doing something wrong, I can post some code. But from what I see, these don't seem to be compatible unfortunately :(

Since the latest updates of macOS, probably 14.1, I have not been able to play media using SystemMusicPlayer.shared or MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer. ApplicationMusicPlayer still works. This is the error code I am encountering: systemMusicPlayer _establishConnectionIfNeeded failed [application failed to launch] Failed to prepareToPlay with error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=10 "Failed to obtain remoteObject [nil server]" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to obtain remoteObject [nil server]} Here is a small example to reproduce the bug. MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.setQueue(with: ["1445887715"]) MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.prepareToPlay() Or: extension PlayableMusicItem { // Not working func playWithSystemPlayer() { Task { SystemMusicPlayer.shared.queue = [self] try await SystemMusicPlayer.shared.play() } } // Working func playWithApplicationPlayer() { Task { ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.queue = [self] try await ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared.play() } } }

Hi. In iOS 17 Apple introduced crossfading for the Music app. In my app I am using MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer and also want to support crossfading. In an early beta of iOS 17 my app crossfaded automatically with the same setting as for the Music app which maybe was a bug. However, I did not find any way to enable crossfade for my app. Does anybody know how to do that? Thanks, Dirk

I'm trying to show likeCommand and dislikeCommand on the Lock Screen of a music player without success. Are they still supported ? Is there any special configuration on the player or the track for them to show? My current code which works for playCommand looks like this MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared().likeCommand.addTarget { [unowned self] _ in if isPlaying { return .success } return .commandFailed }

Occasional AVPlayer playback error, the AVPlayerItem is available after testing。 Sometimes it can be solved by restarting。
