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?

When I’m on FaceTime, my phone will randomly end my call? I have an iPhone 17, iOS 26.1. Some times I won’t even be touching my phone screen and it’ll hang up. I’m not sure if this is a universal issue or just a me problem. It’s getting really annoying.

Is there limits on the supported dimension for VTLowLatencyFrameInterpolationConfiguration. Querying VTLowLatencyFrameInterpolationConfiguration.maximumDimensions and VTLowLatencyFrameInterpolationConfiguration.minimumDimensions returns nil. When I try the WWDC sample project EnhancingYourAppWithMachineLearningBasedVideoEffects with a 4k video this statement try frameProcessor.startSession(configuration: configuration) executes but try await frameProcessor.process(parameters: parameters) throws error Error Domain=VTFrameProcessorErrorDomain Code=-19730 "Processor is not initialized" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Processor is not initialized}. Also, why is VTLowLatencyFrameInterpolationConfiguration able to run while app is backgrounded but VTFrameRateConversionParameters can't (due to gpu usage)?

Hi, when a CoreMIDI driver controls physical HW it is probably quite commune to have to control the amount of MIDI data received from the system. What comes to mind is to just delay returning control of the MIDIDriverInterface::Send() callback to the calling process. While the application trying to send MIDI really stalls until the callback returns it seems only to be a side effect of a generally stalled CoreMIDI server. Between the callbacks the application can send as much MIDI data as it wants to CoreMIDI, it's buffering seems to be endless... However the HW might not be able to play out all the data. It seems there is no way to indicate an overflow/full buffer situation back the application/CoreMIDI. How is this supposed to work? Thanks, any hints or pointers are highly appreciated! Hagen.

The iPhone 17’s front camera with the new 18MP square sensor and iOS 26’s Center Stage feature can auto-rotate between portrait and landscape like the native iOS Camera app. Is there a Swift or AVFoundation API that allows developers to manually control front camera orientation in the same way the native Camera app does? Or is this auto-rotation strictly handled by the system without public API access?

Hi, While I don't normally use FairPlay, I got this email that is so strangely worded I am wondering if it makes sense to people who do know it or if it has some typo or what. You can only generate certificates for SDK 4, also SDK 4 is no longer supported? (Also "will not expire" is imprecise phrasing, certificates presumably will expire, I think it meant to say are still valid / are not invalidated.)

Fundamentally, my questions are: is there a known transform I can apply onto a given (pixel) position (passed into a Metal Fragment Function) to correctly sample a texture provided by the main cameras + processed by a Vision request. If so, what is it? If not, how can I accurately sample my masks? My goal is to highlight people in a Vision Pro app using Compositor Services. To start, I asynchronously receive camera frames for the main left and right cameras. This is the breakdown of the specific CameraVideoFormat I pass along to the CameraFrameProvider: minFrameDuration: 0.03 maxFrameDuration: 0.033333335 frameSize: (1920.0, 1080.0) pixelFormat: 875704422 cameraType: main cameraPositions: [left, right] cameraRectification: mono From each camera frame sample, I extract the left and right buffers (CVReadOnlyPixelBuffer.withUnsafebuffer ==> CVPixelBuffer). I asynchronously process the extracted buffers by performing a VNGeneratePersonSegmentationRequest on both of them: // NOTE: This block of code and all following code blocks contain simplified representations of my code for clarity's sake. var request = VNGeneratePersonSegmentationRequest() request.qualityLevel = .balanced request.outputPixelFormat = kCVPixelFormatType_OneComponent8 ... let lHandler = VNSequenceRequestHandler() let rHandler = VNSequenceRequestHandler() ... func processBuffers() async { try lHandler.perform([request], on: lBuffer) guard let lMask = request.results?.first?.pixelBuffer else {...} try rHandler.perform([request], on: rBuffer) guard let rMask = request.results?.first?.pixelBuffer else {...} appModel.latestPersonMasks = (lMask, rMask) } I store the two resulting CVPixelBuffers in my appModel. For both of these buffers aka grayscale masks: width (in pixels) = 512 height (in pixels) = 384 byters per row = 512 plane count = 0 pixel format type = 1278226488 I am using Compositor Services to render my content in Immersive Space. My implementation of Compositor Services is based off of the same code from Interacting with virtual content blended with passthrough. Within the Shaders.metal, the tint's Fragment Shader is now passed the grayscale masks (converted from CVPixelBuffer to MTLTexture via CVMetalTextureCacheCreateTextureFromImage() at the beginning of the main render pipeline). fragment float4 tintFragmentShader( TintInOut in [[stage_in]], ushort amp_id [[amplification_id]], texture2d<uint> leftMask [[texture(0)]], texture2d<uint> rightMask [[texture(1)]] ) { if (in.color.a <= 0.0) { discard_fragment(); } float2 uv; if (amp_id == 0) { // LEFT uv = ??????????????????????; } else { // RIGHT uv = ??????????????????????; } constexpr sampler linearSampler (mip_filter::linear, mag_filter::linear, min_filter::linear); // Sample the PersonSegmentation grayscale mask float maskValue = 0.0; if (amp_id == 0) { // LEFT if (leftMask.get_width() > 0) { maskValue = rightMask.sample(linearSampler, uv).r; } } else { // RIGHT if (rightMask.get_width() > 0) { maskValue = rightMask.sample(linearSampler, uv).r; } } if (maskValue > 250) { return (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5) } return in.color; } I need to correctly sample the masks for a given fragment. The LayerRenderer.Layout is set to .layered. From Developer Documentation. A layout that specifies each view’s content as a slice of a single texture. Using the Metal debugger, I know that the final render target texture for each view / eye is 1888 x 1792 pixels, giving an aspect ratio of 59:56. The initial CVPixelBuffer provided by the main left and right cameras is 1920x1080 (16:9). The grayscale CVPixelBuffer returned by the VNPersonSegmentationRequest is 512x384 (4:3). All of these aspect ratios are different. My questions come down to: is there a known transform I can apply onto a given (pixel) position to correctly sample a texture provided by the main cameras + processed by a Vision request. If so, what is it? If not, how can I accurately sample my masks? Within the tint's Vertex Shader, after applying the modelViewProjectionMatrix, I have tried every version I have been able to find that takes the pixel space position (= vertices[vertexID].position.xy) and the viewport size (1888x1792) to compute the correct clip space position (maybe = pixel space position.xy / (viewport size * 0.5)???) of the grayscale masks but nothing has worked. The "highlight" of the person segmentations is off: scaled a little too big, offset little to far up and off to the side.

Hi, I’m an iOS developer building an app with an use case that needs advanced playback on Apple Music subscription streams, specifically: • Real-time tempo change (BPM) during playback — i.e., time-stretch with key-lock, not just crossfade. • Beat-matched transitions between tracks. From what I can tell, this capability seems to exist only for approved partners and isn’t available through public MusicKit. Question: What’s the official request path to be evaluated for that restricted partner entitlement (application form, questionnaire, NDA, or internal team/BD contact)? If the entitlement identifier is internal, how can I get my account routed to the right Apple Music team? For reference, publicly announced partners include Algoriddim djay, Serato DJ Pro, rekordbox (AlphaTheta), and Engine DJ—all of which appear to implement mixing features that imply advanced playback (tempo/beat-matching) on Apple Music content. I’d prefer not to share product details publicly for the moment and can provide specifics privately if needed. Thanks in advance!

Hello, We have Video Stream app. It has HLS VOD Content. We supply 1080p, 4K Contents to users. Users were watching 1080p content before tvOS 26. Users can not watch 1080p content anymore when they update to tvOS 26. We have not changed anything at HLS playlist side and application version. This problem only occurs on Apple TV 4th Gen (A1625) tvOS 26 version. There is no problem with newer Apple TV devices. Would you help to resolve problem? Thanks in advance

I'm writing a simple app for iOS and I'd like to be able to do some text to speech in it. I have a basic audio manager class with a "speak" function: import Foundation import AVFoundation class AudioManager { static let shared = AudioManager() var audioPlayer: AVAudioPlayer? var isPlaying: Bool { return audioPlayer?.isPlaying ?? false } var playbackPosition: TimeInterval = 0 func playSound(named name: String) { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: name, withExtension: "mp3") else { print("Sound file not found") return } do { if audioPlayer == nil || !isPlaying { audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url) audioPlayer?.currentTime = playbackPosition audioPlayer?.prepareToPlay() audioPlayer?.play() } else { print("Sound is already playing") } } catch { print("Error playing sound: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } func stopSound() { if let player = audioPlayer { playbackPosition = player.currentTime player.stop() } } func speak(text: String) { let synthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer() let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: text) utterance.voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: "en-GB") synthesizer.speak(utterance) } } And my app shows text in a ScrollView: ScrollView { Text(self.description) .padding() .foregroundColor(.black) .font(.headline) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0)) }.onAppear { AudioManager.shared.speak(text: self.description) } However, the text doesn't get read out (in the simulator). I see some output in the console: Error fetching voices: Swift.DecodingError.dataCorrupted(Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [], debugDescription: "Invalid container metadata for _UnkeyedDecodingContainer, found keyedGraphEncodingNodeID", underlyingError: nil)). Using fallback voices. I'm probably doing something wrong here, but not sure what.

it seems that video toolbox in ios26 is having trouble decoding h.264 streams I have filed a bug report under https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/20741484

Hi, I submitted the FairPlay Streaming Credentials Approval request, but it's been 15 days and I haven't received a response yet. Do you happen to know how long they usually take to reply to these requests?

Hello, I'm trying to write a shortcut using Toolbox Pro that gets triggered by an accessibility trigger and then favorites the currently playing song. It's working pretty well, but I noticed that for some artists, especially asian ones, it simply doesn't work. While debugging, I noticed that the tool uses the same song ID, artist ID, everything as it should to search for the song and favorite it. However, I noticed that Apple Music treats artists with romanized names as two separate artists! https://music.apple.com/br/artist/王菲/41760704 https://music.apple.com/br/artist/faye-wong/41760704?l=en-GB You can see that the ID is the same (41760704). It seems that, when I search for the artist, the first artist (王菲) returns, so that when I open URLs on the web for the artist I can see a star next to the song name, meaning that it got a like. However, the romanized artist (faye-wong) doesn't have a like on the same song. This is very weird, right?

After upgrading to watchOS 26, users report that when playing music on Apple Watch, if a fitness reminder is received, the music automatically pauses and users need to manually tap the play button to resume music playback. This phenomenon occurs with multiple music and podcast apps. This issue did not exist before the upgrade. We would like to know if this is an Apple bug or if there are any special development configurations needed?"

I’m implementing FairPlay offline streaming on iOS and ran into a question about DRM expiration handling. As far as I understand, when issuing a FairPlay offline license, there are typically two time windows: 1. The period during which the user can start offline playback (the longer “rental window”). 2. Once playback starts, the duration allowed to complete playback (the shorter “playback window”). I’d like to display this information (the remaining validity or expiration time) in the app’s UI next to each downloaded asset. My question is: 👉 Is there a way to programmatically check or retrieve the expiration time for a FairPlay offline asset on the client side (via AVFoundation or AVContentKeySession)? Any guidance or best practices for surfacing DRM expiration info in the UI would be greatly appreciated.

New to iOS development and I've been trying to make heads or tails of the documentation. I know there is a difference between the data fields returned from songs from the user library and from the category, but whenever I search on the apple site I can't find a list of each. For example, Im trying to get the releaseDate of a song in my library, but it seems I'll have to cross-query either the catalog entry for the using song.catalogID or the song.irsc but when I try to use them I can't find a cross reference between the two. I'm totally turned around. Also trying to determine if a song in my library has been favorited or not? isFavorited (or something similar) doesn't seem to be a thing. Using this code and trying to find a way to display a solid star if the song has been favorited or an empty one if it's not. Seems like a basic request but I can't find anything on how to do it. I've searched docs, googled, tried. Does apple want us to query the user's Favorited Songs playlist or something? How do I know which playlist that is? I know isFavorited isn't a thing, just using it here so you can see what my intension is: HStack(spacing: 10) { Image(systemName: song.isFavorited ? "star.fill" : "star") .foregroundColor(song.isFavorited ? .yellow : .gray) Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") }

Does videotoolbox hevc encoder on iphone16 pro encode with 10bit hdr vui info in bitstream ? I want to encode 4k 10bit hdr bitstream with vui info use hevc videotoolbox .but I don't know how to encode vui info in bitstream ? please give me some sample code ?

context:Explore low-latency video encoding with VideoToolbox https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10158/ I see above post said HEVC VideoToolbox can support SVC, temporal layering of streams in low-latency mode with all P frames. my question is that Does HEVC VideoToolbox support temporal layering of streams with B-frames ?? thanks

The AVB AVnu MILAN Convention has a groweing Population. Many big companies (Cisco, Meyer Sound, d&b Audio, l‘acoustics, Presonus, digico etc.) implements the AVB AVnu Milan Standards. Is there a plan on the Apple side to also implement AVnu Milan on top of the AVB Protocol? The advantage for Apple Sound would be a great Integration in the professionell Audio market and a more stable intergration on top of the AVB protocol. The atdecc work, but Not that stable.
