Hey, I was just trying out an app I wrote, which accesses Apple Music. I works fine on all the phones in my family apart from the account of my youngest. He is under 13 still but shares the same family Apple Music subscription as the rest of us.
In the code the problem manifests itself in that no user token can be obtained from SK. It comes back with a very ambiguous error message: Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=0 "An unknown error occurred" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=An unknown error occurred}
This is quite annoying because my app is a nice little game that involves guessing songs from the Apple Music catalogue. It would be well suited for children as well as adults but it seems Apple does not allow children to get data from Apple Music. Is this intentional?
Is there any way around that?
Thanks

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to extract all artists from the AppleMusic Catalogue. Normally this would require knowing all their ids but finding all artist ids is not possible as far as I know.
Hi, I am trying to build an app that picks songs from the Apple Music catalogue at random and plays them. Having gone through all the trouble to understand how the API works, I am concluding that this is next to impossible since the only way to pick songs from the catalogue is either by searching from them with a search term or by using their id. Both of this defeats the idea of doing a random search.
I am not even able to filter the catalogue and then pick from the subset as that seems to always give the same list of songs in the same order. For example I tried finding 500 songs mapped to the genre "Rock" by cycling through 20 URL calls with dynamic offset. For some reason I only got about 230 back. Surely there must be more.
Anyone out there with some good ideas?
Would be hugely appreciated and you would be my hero forever!!
