I am developing an app running on iOS/iPadOS and on macOS using MacCatalyst. It uses ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared to play music from Apple Music. However, on the Mac songs with contentRating == .explicit do not work. I will get the following error (sorry, German localization): Failed to prepareToPlay error=<MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain.6 "Failed to prepare to play" {}> Error playing item: Der Vorgang konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden. (MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain-Fehler 6.) On iOS/iPadOS these songs play correctly. What can I do to also play explicit songs using MacCatalyst? Thanks, Dirk

Hi. I know that playing videos from Apple Music was not possible with iOS 17. There is only the workaround to open the Music app. My question is whether anybody found a solution for iOS 18 (Beta). Thanks, Dirk

Hi. I saw that in iOS 18 Beta there is a property "transition" on the Music Kit's ApplicationMusicPlayer. However, in my app I am using MPMusicPlayerApplicationController because I want to play Apple Music songs, local songs and podcasts. But I didn't find an analogue property on MPMusicPlayerApplicationController to specify transitions between songs. Am I missing something? Thanks, Dirk

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 have my app including iCloud support in the App Store for many years now. When I run the app on iOS 17 Beta 2 I am experiencing a very bad performance because the main thread seems to be blocked most of the time. When I run the app using the Time Profiler in Instruments it also reports the hangs and the busy main thread. I looked into the profiler window to see methods with long runtime. The most prominent method was: [BRQuery itemCollectionGathererDidReceiveUpdates:deleteItemsWithIDs:] coming from "CloudDocs". That seems to be some iOS internal class. I do not really know where to look next and I want to know whether somebody of you also experienced a similar problem? Thanks, Dirk

I want to implement drag&drop of an entry in an NSTableView to a folder in Finder. Here is my code of the controller: override func viewDidLoad() { &#9;super.viewDidLoad()   self.tableView.setDraggingSourceOperationMask(.copy, forLocal: false) } func tableView(_ tableView: NSTableView, pasteboardWriterForRow row: Int) -> NSPasteboardWriting? { return NSFilePromiseProvider(fileType: kUTTypeJPEG as String, delegate: self)     } func filePromiseProvider(_ filePromiseProvider: NSFilePromiseProvider, fileNameForType fileType: String) -> String {     return "test.jpg" } func filePromiseProvider(_ filePromiseProvider: NSFilePromiseProvider, writePromiseTo url: URL, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) {   print("never called") } The method filePromiseProvider(_ filePromiseProvider: NSFilePromiseProvider, fileNameForType fileType: String) is called. But filePromiseProvider(_ filePromiseProvider: NSFilePromiseProvider, writePromiseTo url: URL, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) is never called. I am using Xcode 12.2 beta 3 (12B5035g). Do you have similar problems with drag&drop? Thanks, Dirk

Hi.My users report crashes of my app but in "iOS Settings &gt; Privacy &gt; Diagnostics &amp; Usage &gt; Analytics Data" they don't find regular crash reports.
