PDFKit doesn't return the correct page
Hello, We are experiencing on some occasions a wrong behavior with PDFDocument method: func page(at index: Int) -> PDFPage? With certain PDF files, this method returns the wrong PDFPage. This occurs on iOS 18.3, 18.5 and 18.6.2 (an maybe on other versions). Try this PDF for instance (page 81 is returned when index = 2): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MHm2wjfsbWB8OiRmARUMmvODYxp4DIqP&usp=drive_fs Also, I mention that this doesn't occur systematically with this PDF. When making a copy of this file we don't observe the issue. Could this be linked some kind of internal cache issue ?

Massive amounts of leaked memory with the tvOS 26 system player user interface
Hi, We identified massive amounts of leaked memory with the tvOS 26 standard player user interface as soon as chapters (navigation markers) are involved. Artwork images associated with chapters are not correctly released anymore, leaking memory in chunks of several MiBs. Over time apps will be terminated by the system due to excessive memory consumption. The issue was reported to Apple as tvOS 26 regression: Huge memory leaks associated with navigation marker artworks displayed in the tvOS standard user interface, filed under FB21160665.

Repeat song listens not queryable
Hi all, I've been working on some personal programming projects and have gotten into using the Apple Music API. I'm currently looking to get a list of recent songs using the /v1/me/recent/played/tracks endpoint and it's working well. However, I know there are some songs I've listened to multiple times in a row, and those are not showing up as unique tracks when querying this endpoint. I'm only seeing a list of the different songs I've listened to lately, not a true list of the most recent plays on my account. Is this intended behavior or am I going about something incorrectly here? My query is using that endpoint & specifying the types to be only [songs]. Thanks in advance for any ideas or insight.

MusicKit JS user token returns 403 immediately after password change
Has anyone seen this issue? We have a user who changed their Apple ID password about 5 days ago. Now when they authenticate via MusicKit JS: authorize() succeeds and returns a user token Immediately calling any /me/ endpoint returns 403 "Invalid authentication" (code 40300) Developer token works fine on catalog endpoints User has active Apple Music subscription Other users work fine through the same flow App doesn't appear in user's "Apps Using Your Apple ID" We've tried: Calling unauthorize() before authorize() Clearing localStorage/sessionStorage/cookies Multiple re-auth attempts over several days The token is freshly issued but Apple's API immediately rejects it. Anyone encountered this after a password change? Any workarounds?

Apple Music playlist create/delete works but DELETE returns 401 — and MusicKit write APIs are macOS‑unavailable. How to build a playlist editor on macOS?
I’m trying to build a playlist editor on macOS. I can create playlists via the Apple Music HTTP API, but DELETE always returns 401 even immediately after creation with the same tokens. Minimal repro: #!/usr/bin/env bash set -euo pipefail BASE_URL="https://api.music.apple.com/v1" PLAYLIST_NAME="${PLAYLIST_NAME:-blah}" : "${APPLE_MUSIC_DEV_TOKEN:?}" : "${APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN:?}" create_body="$(mktemp)" delete_body="$(mktemp)" trap 'rm -f "$create_body" "$delete_body"' EXIT curl -sS --compressed -o "$create_body" -w "Create status: %{http_code}\n" \ -X POST "${BASE_URL}/me/library/playlists" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APPLE_MUSIC_DEV_TOKEN}" \ -H "Music-User-Token: ${APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"attributes\":{\"name\":\"${PLAYLIST_NAME}\"}}" playlist_id="$(python3 - "$create_body" <<'PY' import json, sys with open(sys.argv[1], "r", encoding="utf-8") as f: data = json.load(f) print(data["data"][0]["id"]) PY )" curl -sS --compressed -o "$delete_body" -w "Delete status: %{http_code}\n" \ -X DELETE "${BASE_URL}/me/library/playlists/${playlist_id}" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${APPLE_MUSIC_DEV_TOKEN}" \ -H "Music-User-Token: ${APPLE_MUSIC_USER_TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" I capture the response bodies like this: cat "$create_body" cat "$delete_body" Result: Create: 201 Delete: 401 I also checked the latest macOS SDK’s MusicKit interfaces and MusicLibrary.createPlaylist/edit/add(to:) are marked @available(macOS, unavailable), so I can’t create/ delete via MusicKit on macOS either. Question: How can I implement a playlist editor on macOS (create/delete/modify) if: MusicKit write APIs are unavailable on macOS, and The HTTP API can create but DELETE returns 401? Any guidance or official workaround would be hugely appreciated.

AVAssetWriterInput.PixelBufferReceiver.append hangs indefinitely (suspends and never resumes)
I’ve been struggling with a very frustrating issue using the new iOS 26 Swift Concurrency APIs for video processing. My pipeline reads frames using AVAssetReader, processes them via CIContext (Lanczos upscale), and then appends the result to an AVAssetWriter using the new PixelBufferReceiver. The Problem: The execution randomly stops at the ]await append(...)] call. The task suspends and never resumes. It is completely unpredictable: It might hang on the very first run, or it might work fine for 4-5 runs and then hang on the next one. It is independent of video duration: It happens with 5-second clips just as often as with long videos. No feedback from the system: There is no crash, no error thrown, and CPU usage drops to zero. The thread just stays in the suspended state indefinitely. If I manually cancel the operation and restart the VideoEngine, it usually starts working again for a few more attempts, which makes me suspect some internal resource exhaustion or a deadlock between the GPU context and the writer's input. The Code: Here is a simplified version of my processing loop: private func proccessVideoPipeline( readerOutputProvider: AVAssetReaderOutput.Provider<CMReadySampleBuffer<CMSampleBuffer.DynamicContent>>, pixelBufferReceiver: AVAssetWriterInput.PixelBufferReceiver, nominalFrameRate: Float, targetSize: CGSize ) async throws { while !Task.isCancelled, let payload = try await readerOutputProvider.next() { let sampleBufferInfo: (imageBuffer: CVPixelBuffer?, presentationTimeStamp: CMTime) = payload.withUnsafeSampleBuffer { sampleBuffer in return (sampleBuffer.imageBuffer, sampleBuffer.presentationTimeStamp) } guard let currentPixelBuffer = sampleBufferInfo.imageBuffer else { throw AsyncFrameProcessorError.missingImageBuffer } guard let pixelBufferPool = pixelBufferReceiver.pixelBufferPool else { throw NSError(domain: "PixelBufferPool", code: -1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "No pixel buffer pool available"]) } let newPixelBuffer = try pixelBufferPool.makeMutablePixelBuffer() let newCVPixelBuffer = newPixelBuffer.withUnsafeBuffer({ $0 }) try upscale(currentPixelBuffer, outputPixelBuffer: newCVPixelBuffer, targetSize: targetSize ) let presentationTime = sampleBufferInfo.presentationTimeStamp try await pixelBufferReceiver.append(.init(unsafeBuffer: newCVPixelBuffer), with: presentationTime) } } Does anyone know how to fix it?

USDZ model files when opened in Preview turns black
On macOS 26.2 (Tahoe), the Preview app fails to render many USDZ models correctly. The issue appears inconsistent: • Some USDZ files open normally in Preview • Some USDZ files open but the viewport turns completely black (no geometry, no material, no lighting) • All the same files open correctly when opened using “Open With → Xcode” This was not the behavior on macOS 15.7.2, where the exact same USDZ files rendered consistently in Preview without failures.
