When printing out an Album, the release date is included:
Album(
id: "1566393640",
title: "Aquatic - Single",
artistName: "Nora En Pure",
genreNames: [
"Dance",
"Music"
],
releaseDate: "2021-06-04",
isCompilation: false,
upc: "7640130765399"
)
But it is not mentioned as an instance property here and I cannot identify any way to access it in my project. How can I go about getting access to this attribute via MusicKit?
Thanks! :)
Hello @cheddarburrito,
Thanks for the feedback. As you can guess from this output, we have been meaning to expose releaseDate as a property of Album, but it didn't quite make it into seed 1.
Please, don't rely on the description you get for fetching properties like this one; such code would be inherently fragile, as there is no strong API contract about the structure of the debugDescription for our music item types.
We'll followup on this, and I encourage you to check again in the next few seeds.
Best regards,
Hello @cheddarburrito,
We have added a releaseDate property to the Album type in iOS 15 beta 3.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
