我在使用 musicKit SDK for Android 1.1.2 时，发现 MediaContainerType 只定义了三种类型： 无 = 0; 专辑 = 1; 播放列表 = 2; 未定义 RADIO_STATION 类型。 但是，com.apple.android.music.playback.model 的文档指出支持 RADIO_STATION 类型。 此问题在我传入 stations ID 后会导致错误： MediaSessionManager com.apple.android.music.sdk.testapp D onPlaybackError（） Quincy java.io.IOException 请问如何解决这个问题？

I'm working on a photo app and I want to allow the user to display, edit and delete photos. I can fetch all photos using PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: options). This works as intended. However, I can't seem to find a way to prevent the user from seeing photos from a Shared Library. The PHAssetSourceType only contains typeCloudShared to only show items from a specific album; not library. How can I filter by iCloud Shared Library?

Among Japanese end users, audio issues during screen recording—primarily in game applications—have become a topic of discussion. We have confirmed that the trigger for this issue is highly likely to be related to changes to IOBufferDuration. When using setPreferredIOBufferDuration and the IOBufferDuration is set to a value smaller than the default, audio problems occur in the recorded screen capture video. Audio playback is performed using AudioUnit (RemoteIO). https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/avfaudio/avaudiosession/setpreferrediobufferduration(_:)?language=objc This issue was not observed on iOS 18, and it appears to have started occurring after upgrading to iOS 26. We provide an audio middleware solution, and we had incorporated changes to IOBufferDuration into our product to achieve low-latency audio playback. As a result, developers using our product as well as their end users are being affected by this issue. We kindly request that this issue be investigated and addressed in a future update. “This document has been translated by AI. The original text is included below for reference.” 日本のエンドユーザー間で主にゲームアプリケーションにおける画面収録時の音声の問題が話題になっています。 こちらの症状のトリガーが、IOBufferDurationの変更によるものである可能性が高いことを確認しました。 setPreferredIOBufferDurationを使用し、IOBufferDurationがデフォルトより小さい状態の時、画面収録された動画の音声に問題が発生することをしています。 音声の再生にはAudioUnit(RemoteIO)を使用しています。 https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/avfaudio/avaudiosession/setpreferrediobufferduration(_:)?language=objc iOS 18ではこのような問題は確認されておらず、iOS26になってから問題が発生しているようです。 私たちはオーディオミドルウェアを提供しており、低遅延の再生のためにIOBufferDurationの変更を製品に組み込んでいました。 そのため、弊社製品をご利用いただいている開発者およびエンドユーザーの皆様がこの不具合の影響を受けています。 こちらの不具合の調査及び修正対応を検討いただけますでしょうか。

I am working on offline license support for FairPlay. I am trying to identify offline vs. live streaming requests. How do I do that? Is there any way to identify the request type (offline or streaming) from SPC?

Hi, when using ApplicationMusicPlayer from MusicKit my app automatically gets the media controls on the lock screen: Play/ Pause, Skip Buttons, Playback Position etc. I would like to customize these. Tried a bunch of things, e.g. using MPRemoteCommandCenter. So far I haven't had any success. Does anyone know how I can customize the media controls of ApplicationMusicPlayer. Thank you.

I'm implementing PHBackgroundResourceUploadExtension to back up photos and videos to our cloud storage service. During testing, I observed that iCloud-optimized photos (where the full-resolution original is stored in iCloud, not on device) do not upload. The upload job appears to silently skip these assets. Questions: Is this behavior intentional/documented? I couldn't find explicit mention of this limitation. If the device only has the optimized/thumbnail version locally, does the system: - Automatically download the full-resolution asset from iCloud before uploading? - Skip the asset entirely? - Return an error via PHAssetResourceUploadJobChangeRequest? For a complete backup solution, should we: - Pre-fetch full-resolution assets using PHAssetResourceManager.requestData(for:options:) before creating upload jobs? - Use a hybrid approach (this extension for local assets + separate logic for iCloud-only assets)? Environment: iOS 26, Xcode 18

Hello everyone, I’m looking for more detailed information regarding UVC (USB Video Class) over MFi within the Apple ecosystem and would appreciate some clarification. I’m interested in developing (or interfacing with) an accessory that transmits video over USB using the UVC standard, and I’d like to better understand how this works within the MFi (Made for iPhone) program. Here are my main questions: 1. Do iOS devices provide native support for UVC over USB-C or Lightning within the MFi framework? 2. Are there any specific firmware or authentication requirements when the accessory is MFi-certified? 3. Does UVC support depend solely on the hardware interface (USB-C vs Lightning), or are there additional software-level requirements? 4. Is there any official documentation outlining the recommended flow for implementing UVC-based video capture accessories on iOS? From what I understand, USB-C iPads appear to offer more direct support for standard UVC devices, but it’s not entirely clear how this integrates with the MFi ecosystem with iOS, especially for commercial product development. If anyone has gone through this process or can point me to relevant technical documentation, I would greatly appreciate the guidance. Thank you!

I am developing an app with transcription and I am exploring ways to improve the transcription from the SpeechAnalyzer/Transcriber for technical terms. SFSpeech... recognition had the capability of being augmented by contextualStrings. Does something similar exist for SpeechAnalyzer/Transcriber? If so please point me towards the documentation and any sample code that may exist for this. If there are other options, please let me know.

Hello! I've two mics connected to a USB-hub. The USB-hub is then connected to my iPad. Both mics are part of the audio session's list of available inputs. The problem is that regardless of which mic I select in my app (using setPreferredInput() on the audio session), the audio keeps coming from the mic that was last connected to the USB-hub. Anyone that knows if this is a limitation in iPadOS/iOS?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a definitive clarification on how to completely disable all video stabilization, including the hardware OIS, using AVFoundation. The goal is to achieve a completely raw, unstabilized video feed, which is crucial when using external equipment like gimbals to avoid conflicting stabilization motions. My research points to using the AVCaptureConnection property preferredVideoStabilizationMode and setting it to AVCaptureVideoStabilizationMode.off. The documentation for the .off case states: A mode that doesn’t stabilize video capture. This description is slightly ambiguous. It's unclear whether this only affects software-level stabilization (EIS, EIS+OIS, etc) or if it guarantees the complete deactivation of the physical OIS module. For professional video applications, this is a critical distinction. So, I'd like to ask the community: Has anyone been able to definitively confirm that setting preferredVideoStabilizationMode to .off also disables the hardware OIS? Are there any known tests or documentation that prove this behavior? Is there an alternative or more direct method to ensure the OIS module is physically inactive during video capture? What is the community's best practice for ensuring absolutely no stabilization is applied to the video pipeline? Any insights or shared experiences on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The two ScreenCaptureKit WWDC22 sessions show how to capture with the new framework but the retina factor is hardcoded to 2 in SCStreamConfiguration. When using on a non-retina display, the screencapture is floating on the upper-left corner of the image buffer. There does not seem to be a simple way to retrieve the retina factor from the SCShareableContent data (when configuring the capture). When processing the streaming output, the SCStreamFrameInfo attachment is supposed to have a scaleFactor property but .scaleFactor does not return a value. I have found out that the attachement dictionary contains SCStreamUpdateFrameDisplayResolution. This entry gives me the retina factor but it is not an official SCStreamFrameInfo key. I list the keys to access it. What is the proper way with ScreenCapture to handle the retina factors ?

Before you post —Camera doesn't work on the Simulator— that's no longer true. I've made a solution that makes the Simulator believe there's an actual hardware device connected, allowing users to stream the macOS camera to the iOS Simulator (see for more info RocketSim's documentation: https://docs.rocketsim.app/features/hzQMSrSga7BGWvxdNVdwYs/simulator-camera-support/58tQ5jvevLNSnyUEA7VgAv) Now, it works for VNDocumentCameraViewController, but when I try opening DataScannerViewController, I directly run into: Failed to start scanning: The operation couldn’t be completed. (VisionKit.DataScannerViewController.ScanningUnavailable error 0.) My question: How does this view controller determine whether scanning is available? Is there a certain capability the available AVCaptureDevice's need to support maybe? Any direction would be helpful for me to make this work for developers, making them build apps faster!

I have a question regarding the behavior of AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().outputVolume. Observed behavior: When the app is in the foreground, I read audioSession.outputVolume (for example, 0.1). The app is then moved to the background. While the app is in the background, the user changes the system volume using the hardware buttons (for example, to 0.5). When the app returns to the foreground, audioSession.outputVolume still reports the previous value (0.1). From my testing, outputVolume only seems to update when the system volume is changed while the app is in the foreground. Volume changes made while the app is in the background are not reflected when the app returns to the foreground. Questions: According to Apple’s documentation for AVAudioSession.outputVolume: “The systemwide output volume set by the user.” https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/avfaudio/avaudiosession/outputvolume However, based on our testing on iOS 18.6.2 and iOS 18.1, the observed behavior seems to differ from this description. Questions: The documentation states that outputVolume represents the system-wide volume set by the user. In our testing, the value does not reflect volume changes made while the app is in the background and only updates when the app is in the foreground.Is this the expected behavior of AVAudioSession.outputVolume? Is there any other recommended way in Swift to retrieve the current system volume that reflects user changes made both while the app is in the foreground and while it is in the background? Any clarification on the intended behavior or recommended handling would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m working on an iOS MusicKit app that overlays a metronome on top of Apple Music playback. To line the clicks up perfectly I’d like access to low-level audio analysis data—ideally a waveform / spectrogram or beat grid—while the track is playing. I’ve noticed that several approved DJ apps (e.g. djay, Serato, rekordbox) can already: • Display detailed scrolling waveforms of Apple Music songs • Scratch, loop or time-stretch those tracks in real time That implies they receive decoded PCM frames or at least high-resolution analysis data from Apple Music under a special entitlement. My questions: 1. Does MusicKit (or any public framework) expose real-time audio buffers, FFT bins, or beat markers for streaming Apple Music content? 2. If not, is there an Apple program or entitlement that developers can apply for—similar to the “DJ with Apple Music” initiative—to gain that deeper access? 3. Where can I find official documentation or a point of contact for this kind of request? I’ve searched the docs and forums but only see standard MusicKit playback APIs, which don’t appear to expose raw audio for DRM-protected songs. Any guidance, links or insider tips on the proper application process would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a project to support spatial audio editing, using this sample project as a reference: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/Cinematic/editing-spatial-audio-with-an-audio-mix This sample works well on an unedited capture, but does not work for a capture that has already been edited. The failure is occurring at "let audioInfo = try await CNAssetSpatialAudioInfo(asset: myAsset)", which is throwing "no eligible audio tracks in asset". I also find that for already edited captures, if i use CNAssetSpatialAudioInfo.assetContainsSpatialAudio, it returns false. What i mean by "already edited" is that if I take a spatial capture with my iPhone 16, and then edit that capture in the Photos app using the Cinematic effect, and then save the edited output (e.g. edited_capture.mov), I can't import that edited_capture.mov into my project as a spatial audio asset. Is this intentional behavior or a bug? If it's intentional, can you describe why?

Hi, our CourAudio server plugin utilizes the SystemConfiguration.framework to store and restore specific shared system wide settings. While our application can authenticate to utilize the SystemConfiguration.framework to gain write access to the shared configuration settings the CoreAudio server plugin obviously can't have any user interaction and therefor does not authenticate. Is it possible to authenticate the CoreAudio server plugin to gain write permissions? Are there any entitlements or other means that would allow this? Thanks!

Howdy. I'm trying to access media from a users song library and receive: <ICUserIdentityStoreACAccountBackend: 0x148f8af30> Failed to initialize active account, error=Error Domain=ICError Code=-7013 "Client is not entitled to access account store" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Client is not entitled to access account store} I'm told I need to add a Media Library Access Capability. Nothing like this shows up in Xcode under Signing & Capabilities > +Capabilities. Also I can't find anything like this in my account in dev.apple.com. How do I enable myself and a test user using another iPhone device to access my music and their music respectively? Thanks!

Hi We’re updating our KSM to support SPC v2/v3 and currently operate with both legacy SDK4 credentials (ASK + 1024 cert) and SDK26 credentials (certificate bundle + provisioning data + 1024/2048 keys). Our client apps run across a wide range of iOS/tvOS versions, so we want to follow Apple’s recommended client strategy for certificate selection. The docs describe SHA‑1 vs SHA‑256 in the SPC header, but do not specify which OS versions should use SDK4 vs SDK26 credentials. Could you clarify: Is there an official minimum iOS/tvOS version where you recommend SDK26 credentials for client apps? For older OS versions (e.g. iOS 15), is SDK4 still the recommended choice for client apps? Are there any official migration guidelines for client apps moving from SDK4 to SDK26 credentials? Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find any clearcut documentation on configuring AVCaptureSession pipeline to capture video with proResRAW codec type, which is 16 bit format. Is it supported only with AVCaptureMovieFileOutput or one can have AVCaptureVideoDataOutput emitting 16-bit sample buffers that can be vended to AVAssetWriter?

the problem is when using HLS live stream with AVPlayer on iOS/ tvOS the player chooses first highest bandwidth then slowly steps down to lowest (within 1-3min) and eventually steps up again then repeats to step down. the AVPlayer error log sends events: errorStatusCode: -12888, errorDomain: Optional("CoreMediaErrorDomain"), errorComment: Optional("The operation couldn't be completed.
