Reply to MusicKit compatibility with macOS
Apologies if it's a bit obvious but probably the first thing to check is that you've actually granted permission for your app to access Apple Music on your Mac. i.e. in the System Preferences app, Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Media & Apple Music. Is your app listed there and is access enabled? Just to confirm, this call is working Ok for me on Ventura (unlike any of the newer MusicKit functions).

Reply to 'MusicLibraryRequest' is unavailable in Mac Catalyst
Am going to answer my own question here for when others hit the same issue: according to both the documentation and my direct experience, these new MusicLibrary calls are NOT supported on macOS Ventura, either natively or via Catalyst. They are only supported on iOS-derived platforms. I find it deeply concerning that new APIs are being introduced which aren’t available on Catalyst in particular. It calls into question Apple’s commitment to the platform - I’m surprised this hasn’t received more publicity.

Reply to Songs are not always added to Playlist when using Music iOS
Hi @JoeKun. Is there any update on this issue? My app adds Apple Music tracks to playlists and is seeing a similar problem. Basically it gets an http 20x reply (indicating success) after adding tracks to a playlist but some of the tracks are not actually getting added. Seems to have started in the last couple of weeks and only impacts certain users. Am very concerned in case this is a new server api release which is being rolled-out to a few initial servers. A lot of apps depend on this endpoint and it seems completely broken at the moment for impacted users. Thanks!

Reply to "The bundle version, NNN, must be a higher than the previously uploaded version"
Could someone from Apple please respond? This is really quite painful and means that the new auto-build numbering feature in Xcode 13 simply doesn't work on Catalyst apps, as far as I can see: it fails 100% of the time to generate valid build numbers. To summarise, this is how I've released an app for the last year: Increment the build number & version in my project, then check-in Archive & upload my iOS version Archive & upload my macOS version As of yesterday the process seems to be: Increment the build number & version in my project, then check-in Archive & upload my iOS version Increment the build number in my project again, then check-in again Archive & upload my macOS version Update a spreadsheet so that I can keep track of which iOS & macOS builds are equivalent I haven't started to think about what this means for labelling releases in source control or tracking issues across builds. None of this is good though. If this is intentional and there's a workaround at our end, please share it.
