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)         }     } }

What am I doing incorrectly?

How to show AirPlay menu for SystemMusicPlayer in SwiftUI
Hi all, I am trying to understand how to show the AirPlay menu in SwiftUI. My goal is to show the AirPlay menu, the same one displayed in the music app, but programmatically from a SwiftUI Button. I was able to display the AirPlay menu using UIViewRepresentable and MPVolumeView, but that does not show the currently active AirPlay speakers (no checkmarks). So how can I: Show the AirPlay button from a custom SwiftUI button? Show the same AirPlay menu as the one in the Music app, with preselected active speaker?

ApplicationMusicPlayer automatically turns Shuffle Mode On
Hi all, I am playing songs via ApplicationMusicPlayer with MusicKit for Swift and I am running into an issue where shuffle mode is sometimes automatically turned on. Even though there was no code related to shuffle mode. Here's a snippet //myQueue is an array of Tracks let player = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared player.queue = ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue(for: myQueue) // player.state.shuffleMode = .off // I tried explicitly setting shuffle mode off, which has no effect try await player.play() This issue is not easily reproducible, it occurs rarely and at random. But once this issue occurs it persists even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. When I tried it to reproduce it with another device and everything works properly. Anyone else running into this issue? For Apple Engineers, here is the ticket: FB9816030

How to detect end of hasNextBatch?
Hello, In MusicKit I would like to know how I can detect the end of hasNextBatch for a MusicItemCollection. Let's say, I have a playlist with 100+ songs in my library. Initially, I get 100 songs from the response and hasNextBatch is true. If I use a while loop, every response includes the hasNextBatch = true. So I do not know when to stop or how many limited loop to make. Is there way I can get the playlist loaded completely with all the songs loaded using nextBatch and stop when I have hit the end?

PlayParameters in iOS 16 breaks backwards compatibility with iOS 15
Hi Apple Engineers, I noticed in iOS 16, PlayParameters which part of every Track that has been added/downloaded to the library, now includes two new properties isLibrary & musicKit_persistentID . Unfortunately, these create backward compatibility error when trying to decode the Track object on iOS 15. I make collaborative playlist app, which stores the Track added by User A which now includes the unique identifier for the locally downloaded file, when attempted to be played by User B won't play any music due to mismatching identifiers (even when everyone is on iOS 16). This essentially breaks the entire functionality of my app due to these new properties. Steps: Store a Track (which has been added to library) as a JSON object from iOS 16 Decode the JSON on iOS 15 Expected Results: New PlayParameters variables should be optional, to support backwards compatibility with iOS 15 and to support collaborative uses cases. Actual Results: New PlayParameters automatically include two new values that cause decoding errors. I request that at least for an option to ignore the new properties in the PlayParameters in iOS 16. Here is my feedback: FB11362589
