Hello Apple Framework Engineer team,
I am following up on this thread to see if there have been any updates regarding native support for playing Music Videos using ApplicationMusicPlayer or a similar native controller in MusicKit.
In Nov ’21, it was noted that the only available workaround was using MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.openToPlay(_:). While this bridge exists, it presents significant challenge for modern app development, i.e. Bad User Experience: Transitioning the user to a system Music app during the handoff feels disjointed compared to the seamless audio playback MusicKit provides.
Has there been any progress on a native API that allows for playing MusicVideo content without handing off to the system music player? If not, is there a recommended way to fetch a stable URL for use in a standard AVPlayer for authenticated users?
Thank you for your continued support and for the improvements made to MusicKit!
