Hello Apple World,

I am working on an app that adds Apple Music songs to an MPMediaPlaylist.

I was able to do this successfully in iOS 13.7.

However, today I started testing on iOS 14.0.1 and the same code causes my app to freeze completely.

Code Block print("PlaylistManager.addItem playlist \(playlist) identifier \(identifier) MPMediaLibrary.authorizationStatus() \(MPMediaLibrary.authorizationStatus().rawValue)")
playlist.addItem(withProductID: identifier) { (error) in
	if error != nil {
        	print("An error occurred while adding an item to the playlist: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
	}
}

Output:

Code Block "PlaylistManager.addItem playlist <MPConcreteMediaPlaylist: 0x2819dc4d0> identifier 1531532609 MPMediaLibrary.authorizationStatus() 3"

Because I don't get any errors printed (the app just freezes up) and I don't see any crash logs in Devices and Simulators, I am not sure how to proceed.

Is anyone else running into this issue with MPMediaPlaylist.addItem in iOS 14?

Is there a general way to debug app freezes?

Any help will be very much appreciated;

Thank you in advance!
