I use htttps://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/playlists/${playlistId}/tracks to add tracks to a playlist I created. How do I DELETE tracks from the playlist? The documentation does not mention a method for this. I have tried calling DELETE methods in various combinations but nothing seems to work. Is this possible?

Dear Apple Developer Team, On iOS 26, the contents of PDF pages appear to be swapped. Could you please advise if there is a workaround or a planned fix for this issue? Steps to Reproduce: Download the attached PDF on iOS 26. Open the PDF in the Files app. Tap the PDF to view it in Quick Look. Navigate to page 5. Expected Result: The page number displayed at the bottom should be 5. Actual Result: The page number displayed at the bottom is 4. Issue: This is not limited to page 5—multiple page contents appear to be swapped. I have also submitted feedback via Feedback Assistant (FB20743531) on October 20. Best regards, Yoshihito Suezawa

Hello, We are trying to use the new Background Upload Extension to improve uploads of assets (Photos, Live Photos, Videos) in the background in our application. 1 - We implemented the code to upload still images. We would like to do the same for Live Photos but we are not sure how to proceed since a Live Photo is composed of 2 resources that we would like to upload in the same job so that we keep the association between the 2 resources. Steps: A Live Photo is captured on the device. Our application is notified for new content in the Photo Library and the asset is queued for upload by our application. The system calls the background upload extension and the Live Photo is prepared for upload but we can schedule a job only for one resource (still photo or paired video) so we can not upload both resources in a single job. 2 - Is there a way to synchronise the application and the extension so that the application would not process the same data or execute the same requests than the extension. For example: our application is working with tokens and we would like to prevent those tokens to be consumed by the application and the extension at the same time. 3 - is there a command in xcode or terminal to start or stop the extension, something similar to what exists for processing tasks (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/starting-and-terminating-tasks-during-development).

When I use the ColorSync Utility to convert Display P3 color (1, 0, 0) to an XYZ color, the result is (0.5151, 0.2412, -0.0011). I expected that result because that is identical to the red colorant tristimulus value in the Display P3.icc file.When I use the CGColor converted method to do the same, the XYZ color is approximately (0.5151, 0.2412, 0.0). Note that the third element is 0.0 whereas it is -0.0011 when using the ColorSync Utility. I have printed out the Z component to 16 digits of precision, and Z is all 0s. It appears that the CGColor converted method is clamping the result from 0 to 1.My questions are:1. Which conversion is correct? The ColorSync utility or the CGColor converted method?2. I am not a color specialist, but I thought that the XYZ components should never be negative. If so, is the colorant tristimulus value in the Display P3.icc file wrong?3. Because CGColor clamped the Z component to 0, the XYZ color cannot be converted back exactly or closely to the Display P3 color (1, 0, 0). I would have expected to be able to go back and forth between the two color spaces when starting from a valid P3 Display color especially since the XYZ color space completely encompasses the P3 Display color space. Is that not true?4. Is (1, 0, 0) an invalid Display P3 color? If so, I can understand the peculiar results. I'm not sure how I would know if a Display P3 color is valid or not. (I only know that the component values must be from 0 to 1.) I think it is valid because Apple uses that color in the UIColor API Reference in an example.

Has anyone been able to successfully use MusicCatalogSearchRequest in a playgrounds app? I have configured my playground similar to a regular app: app id with automatic music token generation turned on, music access authorized within the app itself, but whenever I query MusicCatalogSearchRequest I get an error thrown with .developerTokenRequestFailed. Considering musickit is restricted in the sim, it would not surprise me if it was the same in playgrounds but it would be super helpful if I could prototype with musickit in playgrounds 4!

Add RPSystemBroadcastPickerView to the app, After clicking, no method of SampleHandler is triggered

I've established proper authorization for general music api calls, but when I use that same authorization to retrieve metadata for the latest music feeds (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicfeed/requesting-a-feed-export), I get a 401 Unauthorized error. As per the documentation, I'm simply issuing a GET against https://api.media.apple.com/v1/feed/album/latest. Are there different entitlements needed for the Music Feed API?

On an iPhone running iOS 26 beta 5, url(for: FilePath("subdir/asset.mov")) most always throws this error: The URL for “subdir/asset.mov” couldn’t be retrieved: “asset.mov” couldn’t be copied to “subdir” because an item with the same name already exists. Yet, contents(at: FilePath("subdir/asset.mov")) always returns Data for a playable AVMovie. How can I avoid this url(for:) error? The asset pack in question is downloaded. The error persists even after pack deletion, redownload, relaunch, and combinations of that. // Assets repo root subdir.aar subdir/asset.mov subdir/asset_thumb.heic subdir/Manifest.json // Manifest.json { "assetPackID": "subdir", "downloadPolicy": { "onDemand": {} }, "fileSelectors": [ { "directory": "subdir", }, ], "platforms": [ "iOS", "visionOS" ] } xcrun ba-package subdir/Manifest.json -o subdir.aar xcrun ba-serve --host 192.168.0.10 -p 443 subdir.aar

I'm wondering if someone happened issues with currentPlaybackRate in released version of iOS 26.0? There is no issue happened in case of iOS 18.5. When I changed currentPlaybackRate on iOS 26.0, it seems to unexpectedly change currentPlaybackRate to be 0 or 1.0 forcibly no matter DRM or non-DRM contents. And also, playing music will be abnormal behavior and unstable with noise if currentPlaybackRate is not 1.0. And changes stop state and play state frequently.

Is it possible to perform speech-to-text using AVAudioEngine to capture microphone input while being on a FaceTime call at the same time? I tried implementing this, but whenever I attempt to start the  AVAudioEngine  while a FaceTime call is active, I get the following error: “The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2003329396)” I assume this might be due to microphone resource restrictions during FaceTime, but I’d like to confirm whether this limitation is at the system level or if there’s any possible workaround or entitlement that allows concurrent microphone access. Has anyone encountered this issue or found a solution?

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 ?

Hi everyone, I'm the owner of a radio station called Radio Krimi and we have an official APP on iOS but because the technician, don't replied anymore to our message, we would like to update it with a new audio link. Then deeply sorry but I really don't know how to do it, basically it sould be easy because is a just a new link instead an old one. Please someone could help us with the process ? Thanks a lot !

I am developing an iOS application that supports screen mirroring to Google TV (or Chromecast with Google TV). My goal is to mirror the iPhone/iPad screen in real time to a Google TV device. What I Have Tried So Far I have explored multiple approaches but haven't found a direct way to achieve low-latency screen mirroring. Here are some of my findings: Google Cast SDK: Google Cast SDK is primarily designed for casting media (videos, images, audio) rather than real-time mirroring. It supports custom receiver applications, but there are no direct APIs for full screen mirroring. Casting a recorded video is possible, but it introduces latency and is not real-time. ReplayKit for Screen Capture: RPScreenRecorder.shared().startCapture(handler: ...) allows capturing the iPhone screen as a video stream. However, sending this stream to Google TV in real time is a challenge. I could potentially encode the video as HLS and stream it, but the delay is significant. RTSP/UDP Streaming: Some third-party libraries support RTSP/UDP streaming for real-time screen sharing. Google TV does not natively support RTSP, making this approach difficult. My Questions: Is it possible to achieve real-time screen mirroring on Google TV using Google Cast SDK? Does Google TV support WebRTC or any low-latency streaming protocol that can be used from iOS? Are there any alternative approaches to mirror an iOS screen to Google TV with minimal latency? I would appreciate any guidance, code examples, or references to relevant documentation.

Hello Apple Developers, I’m reaching out to the community with a concept that I truly believe could be a natural fit for the Apple ecosystem: A privacy-focused, iOS-exclusive dating app designed to enhance connections between Apple users while staying true to Apple’s commitment to security and user privacy. The idea is to create an iOS-only dating platform that fosters relationships between users who are part of the Apple ecosystem. The app would integrate seamlessly with Apple’s services (iMessage, FaceTime, Siri, etc.) and provide a premium user experience, where privacy is a priority. Apple users already prefer to communicate using Apple services (iMessage, FaceTime). A dating app designed specifically for iOS users would deepen this ecosystem lock-in, making it easier for Apple customers to connect within a trusted space. Apple is already known for its privacy focus, and an iOS-exclusive dating app would build upon that reputation. It would ensure secure, private interactions, minimizing the risks associated with data sharing in most dating apps today. The app could integrate directly with features like iCloud, Apple Pay (for date-night bookings), and Siri (for matchmaking suggestions), offering users a truly native iOS experience. While the app would remain free to use, here are a few potential monetization methods: Bundling with Apple One/iCloud+ for premium matchmaking features. Apple Pay-based date-night deals with local partners. I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether Apple might be open to this idea. Would there be any challenges from a technical or business perspective in creating a dating app exclusively for iOS users? I’m looking forward to hearing from you all, and thank you for your time and insights. Yours Truly, CapNKirk P.S. This is an idea. But I do not care who uses, implements, or executes this idea. I just want to see Apple take advantage of it.

When I use musicKit SDK for Android 1.1.2, I found that MediaContainerType only defines three types: NONE = 0; ALBUM = 1; PLAYLIST = 2; The RADIO_STATION type is not defined. However, the documentation of com.apple.android.music.playback.model states that the RADIO_STATION type is supported. This problem causes an error after I pass in the stations ID: MediaSessionManager com.apple.android.music.sdk.testapp D onPlaybackError() Quincy java.io.IOException May I ask how to solve this problem?

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 use startCaptureWithHandler to record screen and AVAssetWriter appendSampleBuffer: to save audio and video ,but when played the saved file audio and video are out of sync. I don t know if it s a AVAssetWriterInputr setup problem，here is my code NSDictionary *audioCompressionSettings = @{ AVEncoderBitRatePerChannelKey : @(64000), AVFormatIDKey : @(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC), AVNumberOfChannelsKey : @(2), AVSampleRateKey : @(44100) }; AVAssetWriterInput *audioAssetWriterInput = [AVAssetWriterInput assetWriterInputWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio outputSettings:audioCompressionSettings]; audioAssetWriterInput.expectsMediaDataInRealTime = YES; [_assetWriter addInput:audioAssetWriterInput]; NSDictionary *videoCompressSetting = @{AVVideoAverageBitRateKey:@(screenWidth*screenHeight*5), AVVideoMaxKeyFrameIntervalKey:@(30), AVVideoProfileLevelKey : AVVideoProfileLevelH264MainAutoLevel}; NSDictionary *codecSetting = @{AVVideoCodecKey:AVVideoCodecTypeH264, AVVideoScalingModeKey : AVVideoScalingModeResize, AVVideoWidthKey:@(screenWidth*2), AVVideoHeightKey:@(screenHeight*2), AVVideoCompressionPropertiesKey:videoCompressSetting }; AVAssetWriterInput* videoAssetWriterInput = [AVAssetWriterInput assetWriterInputWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo outputSettings:codecSetting]; videoAssetWriterInput.expectsMediaDataInRealTime = YES; [_assetWriter addInput:videoAssetWriterInput];

Hello, How do I find the apple music catalogID for songs in a apple music playlist? Im building an iOS app that uses MusicKit/Apple Music API. For this example, you can assume that my iOS app simply allows users to upload their apple music playlists. And when users open a specific playlist, I want to find the catalogID for each song. Currently all the songs are returning song IDs in this format “i.PkdJvPXI2AJgm8”. I believe these are libraryIDs, not catalogIDs. I’d like to find a front end solution using MusicKit. But perhaps a back end solution using the Apple Music Rest API is required. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hey, just wonderng if anyone knows whether the sdk for Android will be updated soon to support the new 16 KB memory page size requirement coming with Android 15? Google’s going to require all apps targeting Android 15+ to support it starting November 2025 Has anyone heard anything from Apple or the SDK team about this? Thanks!

I’m spot-checking some of the data I’m extracting from the Apple Music Feed parquet files and finding numerous issues of invalid album IDs. For example, just looking at any album with a primary artist id of 163043, I see a few albums that are not available at music.apple.com/us/album/NNN. These include: 981094158 - Time and the River 1803443737 - Celebration (Live New York ’80) 1525426873 - Anything You Want: The Warner-Reprise-Elektra Years I notice that neither of these album ids are returned using the general Music API, so I’m a bit confused why they would exist in the parquet files at all. Thanks.
