I'm trying to accomplish creating a new playlist on device that appears in AppleMusic, and adding into the playlist a selection of MP3s within a small IOS app.
Now the MP3's are either a stream of bytes, or a flat file already stored on the device (the app itself generates these - they aren't downloaded, they are created in app, and then stored on the local device) in it's local storage space.
The idea is that created tracks can show up in a specific play list on the device.
Now, there appears to be some conflict as to what framework I need to use.
I've found MPMediaPlayer, which appears to allow me to create a playlist using the GetPlaylist call, although the documentation on this seems pretty sparse and there's not a lot of examples I can find on how to use this?
It looks like a UUID is passed in, but there is no documentation on what this UUID is or where it comes from? If I want to create a new Playlist, I presume I need to generate a UUID, and then store that locally in order to be able to access that playlist again later, yes?
There's an AddItem call which looks like it's how you add a track to a playlist, but there's no documentation on how you generate an entry. The documentation for this function talks about a Product ID, without describing what the product ID is, or where it needs to come from. Is this a GUID? Is it a name/description? Does it have to be unique? I'm assuming this Product ID refers to that which is being added to the playlist, but the documentation is sadly lacking in terms of explaining what the product ID refers to. Is it a media Item, or is that what is created when whatever entity the Product ID is referring to is added to the playlist?
I'm assuming I can create a NSURL of the file that is stored that is actually the MP3 sample, but what I do with that in order to actually add it as a playlist entry is unknown. I'm sure there is a mechanism to do this, it's just not clear what that is.
There's a lack of understanding or explanation of what the process is here, and some illumination would be helpful.

Hello! I'm trying to find my own window or SCWindow in a SCDisplay. This is so I can automatically change the SCDisplay to record when I drag a window from a display to another. Is there any way to check the windows that are contained in every SCDisplay? Thank you in advance!
I have a page that needs to display a large PNG image (1024 x 100247 )
Everything works fine in Chrome and Edge, but failed in safari.
this is test image :

is there any limit in safari ?
I have some depth map files in TIFF format that I am trying to extract data from programmatically. I see that I can import TIFF format images with NSImage, and from there, can get the raw pixel data. But how do I convert this to real distances? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Hi, is there a way to display the animated cover art in an app? Not every album has a cover art but for the ones that have one I would like to display them instead of the artwork.
Thank you :)
I am trying to get the playbackStoreID via the MPMediaPickerController so I can play songs in my app. For many songs I can see and select I am getting a value of "0" for the playbackStoreID on the returned MPMediaItem.
Now if I use the "Music" app I can play those songs, but since the playbackStoreID is "0" I cannot successful get them in the queue for a MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer
What's the deal?
How do I get a proper ID that I can use to get those songs played?
If I cannot, how can I hide those songs from the MPMediaPickerController so a user does not think they can play those songs in my app?
Hello everyone!
Im new to this forum and i have a question about playing mp3 files on
our Homepage on apple devices:
We have a service section with the latest News, Traffic and Weather on our Site.
The problem is, that the mp3 Files can be played, but the player shows 0:00 and is not able to go to the middle or end of the file.
This is ONLY on Iphone in our app and on Safari.
I am recording the mp3 with ffmpeg. The strange thing is, that there is no Bitrate shown in FIle details, and also no length.
The File is auto Recorded with a script.
Hello,
Can we use below mentioned keys in our code :-
_MRMediaRemotePlayerPlaybackStateDidChangeNotification
kMRMediaRemotePlaybackStateUserInfoKey
Thanks
We are looking at potentially adding access to Apple Music Classical into a game we have with classical music. I cannot find any documentation that states if MusicKit can access the subscription content on Apple Music Classical. We would prefer to give our players the option to play with the higher quality subscription music if desired.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Has anyone found a way to retrieve user token if I want to make an app on Flutter that uses that to make Apple Music API calls to just retrieve the user data and display it on the application?
Something like when a user opens their app, there is a button that says connect with apple. It takes the user to give permissions for apple music and that retrieves their user token.
I know there is Music Kit on Swift but i wonder if there is something like that on flutter
In SwiftUI there is a built-in component for displaying album artworks called Artwork but there is no equivalent for UIKit.
My current approach is to use the .url() method to read image's URL and download the image or read it from the disk but the performance is much worse than it was previously with MPMediaItem's artworkImage method.
let artworkQueue = DispatchQueue(
label: "MusicKit-ArtworkQueue",
qos: .default,
attributes: .concurrent
)
let artworkSemaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 5)
extension Song {
func artworkImage(for size: CGSize, completion: @escaping (UIImage?) -> Void) {
artworkQueue.async {
artworkSemaphore.wait()
defer {
artworkSemaphore.signal()
}
let imageURL = artwork?.url(
width: Int(size.width),
height: Int(size.height)
)
// I hate doing this as it might very well break in the future
guard let imageURL, imageURL.scheme == "musicKit"
else {
return completion(nil)
}
guard let imageData = try? Data(contentsOf: imageURL),
let image = UIImage(data: imageData) else {
return completion(nil)
}
completion(image)
}
}
}
I really dislike this approach because it feels hacky but somewhat works. You might ask what's the semaphore for? Well, without it I could notice that MusicKit was choking and after reading too many artworks at once.
Can someone from Apple please provide us with an example on how to use MusicKit with UIKit properly?
Ideally (IMO) we would have a method defined on Song and other MusicKit structures that returns the image for us, just like MPMediaItem had the .artwork() method. It would make our lives so much easier.
Some users of our app get a black screen when playing mp4 files on their phones. The users are all running iOS 17.3.1 and cannot catch the error message when playing a black screen.
The user can play the video normally after restarting the mobile phone. However, we want to solve this problem from the code.
We use two Avplayers to complete the sequential playback of multiple videos.
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
layer.addSublayer(videoPlayerA)
layer.addSublayer(videoPlayerB)
}
lazy var layers = [videoPlayerA, videoPlayerB]
lazy var videoPlayerA: AVPlayerLayer = {
let avPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: AVPlayer())
avPlayerLayer.contentsScale = UIScreen.main.scale
avPlayerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill
return avPlayerLayer
}()
lazy var videoPlayerB: AVPlayerLayer = {
let avPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: AVPlayer())
avPlayerLayer.contentsScale = UIScreen.main.scale
avPlayerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill
return avPlayerLayer
}()
func play() {
if let path = paths[safe: currentIndex] {
currentVideoPath = path
currentPlayer = AVPlayer(playerItem: AVPlayerItem(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path)))
layers.first?.player?.pause()
layer.insertSublayer(layers.first ?? AVPlayerLayer(), below: layers.last)
layers.swapAt(0, 1)
layers.first?.player = currentPlayer
layers.first?.player?.play()
SHPlayerGlobalStatus.sharedInstance.isLocalPlayerPlaying = true
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback)
try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
}
I have an image viewing app with support for avif (and avis) images. I'm trying to figure out if the recent bug in CoreMedia (dav1d) affects my app. The apple security update: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT214097
The vulnerable code path in dav1d is only reached when c->n_fc > 1 (https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d/-/blob/2b475307dc11be9a1c3cc4358102c76a7f386a51/src/decode.c#L2845), where c is the dav1d context.
With some reverse engineering, the way I see CMPhoto calling into VideoToolBox (which internally calls into AV1SW.videodecoder, which is a wrapper around dav1d), the max frame delay is hardcoded to 1 in the dav1d settings which intern means that c->n_fc in dav1d is always 1. The vulnerable code path in dav1d is only reached when c->n_fc > 1 (https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d/-/blob/2b475307dc11be9a1c3cc4358102c76a7f386a51/src/decode.c#L2845).
From my understand, this should mean that my app isn't affected. The apple security update however clearly mentions that "Processing an image may lead to arbitrary code execution". Surely I'm missing something?
Hi,
Is it possible to get the various audio variants for a given song ID, I am unable to find any documentation for this online. In particular, could I see if Dolby Atmos is available for the track?
Here is an example of a request I am sending: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/songs/1168770969
Hello,
Problem
I am having the exact same issue as described here : https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/693310
From my understanding of the answers on this topic, it appears to be a problem on the Server Side.
Is it still the case or perhaps I am missing something ?

Am I missing something ? Is it a server side issue ? If so, when will it be fixed ? Otherwise, what is wrong with my approach ?
Could some tell what the relevant endpoint is for fetching all public list of a user playlist. I am able to fetch a one via the id but i want to fetch all in a single request without using authorization.
I have the conflict when i use replaykit. There is other app or system use the recording. I want my app can recognize them and let them use the replaykit preferentially.

Is it possible to edit the Grouping of a song from the user's library using the Apple Music API?
According to what I read from the documentation, this is not possible, but this is something that I really would love, so, I better ask.
Thanks in advanced!
