How to fetch next batch of albums for an Artist?
Hello, I am fetching and displaying the .fullalbums for an Artist through the MusicKit api. The JSON response returned has a hasNextBatch: true value, but I am unsure how to fetch and display the next batch. Is this something that can be intelligently retrieved though some MusicKit functionality or does one have to perform another data request to fetch the next batch?

How to make navigation bar color clear per view?
Hi there, I would like to make the navigation bar clear in my view. Currently I am using the init() method to achieve this: UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: UIBarMetrics.default) UINavigationBar.appearance().shadowImage = UIImage() UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = true UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .clear UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear But this makes the navigation bar clear app-wide. How can I make the navigation bar clear for specific view and ensure that view navigating to other views/popping modal they are returned to the default values? P.S I tried using the onAppear method and that doesn't do anything.

Hi Apple Engineers, I am reporting an issue in iOS 16.1 and iOS 16.2 beta 3 where setting the shuffleMode for ApplicationMusicPlayer is no longer working Here is the code: let player = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared let tracks = [Tracks] player.queue = ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue(for: tracks) player.state.shuffleMode = .songs Task.init { try await player.play() } I tested the same code on iOS 15 and it works as expected.

Artwork of Track is not displayed correctly when used within Button in iOS 16.1 & 16.2
Hi Apple Engineers, I am reporting a issue that has surfaced in iOS 16.1 and iOS 16.2 beta, where when you have a long list of Tracks that are in the label of a Buttons, they are are displayed correctly. They appear intermittently, after you scroll they disappear (placeholder is shown) and it required a state change to display the final artwork correctly Here is code: let tracks = [Track] //With Issue List(tracks) { track in Button { //ACTION BLOCL } label: { if let artwork = track.artwork { ArtworkImage(artwork: artwork, width: 50, height: 50) } else { PlaceholderView() } } } //Without Issue List(tracks) { track in if let artwork = track.artwork { ArtworkImage(artwork: artwork, width: 50, height: 50) } else { PlaceholderView() } } Same code works correctly on iOS 15 and also when ArtworkImage is not used inside a button. Here is the related ticket: FB11840336

Group Activity stopped working with iOS 15 Beta 2
Hey everyone, I had a sample app I was working on with the first beta which had SharePlay/Group Activity working fine. Beta 2 seems to have broken it. It doesn't trigger any activity. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but that doesn't seem to fix the issue either. Console error print:  Dropping activity as there is no active conversation Any ideas how to fix this issue?

How to decode the JSON response from MusicKit Search Suggestion
Hello everyone, I am trying to understand how to decode the JSON response returned by the suggestions/top results endpoint in MusicKit As you can see the response returns suggestions, which has two different types, Albums and Songs within the same 'suggestions' array. How can I decode the response even if there are different types using a single struct? { "results" : { "suggestions" : [ { "content" : { "attributes" : { "url" : "https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/megan-thee-stallion\/1258989914", "name" : "Megan Thee Stallion", "genreNames" : [ "Hip-Hop\/Rap" ] }, "id" : "1258989914", "relationships" : { "albums" : { "data" : [ { "href" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/albums\/1537889223", "type" : "albums", "id" : "1537889223" } ], "next" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/artists\/1258989914\/albums?offset=25", "href" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/artists\/1258989914\/albums" } }, "href" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/artists\/1258989914", "type" : "artists" }, "kind" : "topResults" }, { "content" : { "href" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/artists\/991187319", "attributes" : { "genreNames" : [ "Hip-Hop\/Rap" ], "url" : "https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/moneybagg-yo\/991187319", "name" : "Moneybagg Yo" }, "id" : "991187319", "type" : "artists", "relationships" : { "albums" : { "href" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/artists\/991187319\/albums", "data" : [ { "id" : "1550876571", "href" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/albums\/1550876571", "type" : "albums" } ], "next" : "\/v1\/catalog\/us\/artists\/991187319\/albums?offset=25" } } }, "kind" : "topResults" } ] } }

How to make a playlist public/create a public playlist?
Hey everyone, I am creating playlist via the MusicKit API and by default it creates the playlist in the users library and the isPublic attribute is set to false. Is there a way to make the playlist public at the time of creation? (Only way to change isPublic = true at this time seems to be through the Music app right now)

Notification does not show as communication notification
Hi all, I am trying to implement the communication notification for me app. But the avatar does not show and there is virtually no difference from a normal notification. I also added the Communication Notification capability, and in my Notification Service Extension's Info.plist, added this: NSExtension → NSExtensionAttributes (dictionary) → IntentsSupported (array) → INSendMessageIntent (string) What am I doing wrong? Here is my code: class NotificationService: UNNotificationServiceExtension {     var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)?     var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent?     override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {                  var personNameComponents = PersonNameComponents()         personNameComponents.nickname = "Sender Name"         let avatar = INImage(named: "Cover")         let senderPerson = INPerson(personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: "1233211234", type: .unknown), nameComponents: personNameComponents, displayName: "Sender Name", image: avatar, contactIdentifier: nil, customIdentifier: nil, isMe: false, suggestionType: .none)         let mePerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: "1233211232", type: .unknown), nameComponents: nil, displayName: nil, image: nil, contactIdentifier: nil, customIdentifier: nil, isMe: true, suggestionType: .none)         let incomingMessagingIntent = INSendMessageIntent(recipients: [mePerson], outgoingMessageType: .outgoingMessageText, content: "Test DUde", speakableGroupName: nil, conversationIdentifier: "uid", serviceName: "caset", sender: senderPerson, attachments: [])         incomingMessagingIntent.setImage(avatar, forParameterNamed: \.sender)         let interaction = INInteraction(intent: incomingMessagingIntent, response: nil)         interaction.direction = .incoming         do {             let newContent = try request.content.updating(from: incomingMessagingIntent)             contentHandler(newContent)         } catch {             print(error)         }     }     override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {         // Called just before the extension will be terminated by the system.         // Use this as an opportunity to deliver your "best attempt" at modified content, otherwise the original push payload will be used.         if let contentHandler = contentHandler, let bestAttemptContent =  bestAttemptContent {             contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)         }     } }
