I'm getting a variety of errors when I call prepareToPlay on the MPMusicPlayerController. Sometimes they happen, sometimes they don't. I'm trying to play songs from the Apple Music service. When I don't get the errors, it plays just fine. I have iOS v13.5.1 on my iPhone Xs and I'm using Xcode 11.5. This is my code:
let applicationMusicPlayer = MPMusicPlayerController.applicationMusicPlayer
applicationMusicPlayer.setQueue(with: [trackID])
applicationMusicPlayer.prepareToPlay(completionHandler:{ error in
if let error = error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async{
applicationMusicPlayer.play()
}
}
These are the various errors I'm getting:
[SDKPlayback] Failed to prepareToPlay error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=2 "Queue was interrupted by another queue" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Queue was interrupted by another queue}
[SDKPlayback] Failed to prepareToPlay error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=9 "Preparing queue timed out" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Preparing queue timed out}
[SDKPlayback] Failed to prepareToPlay error: Error Domain=MPMusicPlayerControllerErrorDomain Code=6 "Failed to prepare to play" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to prepare to play}
