Hello, I have a command line application that uses iTunesLibrary to "save" the state of what I have listened to. I have it run every night via a LaunchAgent. You can see the source here: https://github.com/bolsinga/itunes_json Prior to Sequoia it would run nightly. I'd just have to grant it access to the Music library once, and it would be fine thereafter. However with Sequoia it requires UI interaction to grant it access every time. This makes it no longer run unattended overnight, defeating its purpose. I have the console logs of when this happens. You can see it in my issue tracking it here: https://github.com/bolsinga/itunes_json/issues/410 One thing that makes me wonder is that it is a command line application, not a bundle. How do I make a command line application get access to MusicKit / iTunesLibrary, and keep it thereafter? I'd like to get my pre-Sequoia behavior back. I've filed FB15592660 too. I've granted it access to run in the background, as well as access to my Music library (please see attached screenshots).

I've been using CGWindowListCreateImage which automatically creates an image with the size of the captured window. But SCScreenshotManager.captureImage(contentFilter:configuration:) always creates images with the width and height specified in the provided SCStreamConfiguration. I could be setting the size explicitly by reading SCWindow.frame or SCContentFilter.contentRect and multiplying the width and height by SCContentFilter.pointPixelScale , but it won't work if I want to keep the window shadow with SCStreamConfiguration.ignoreShadowsSingleWindow = false. Is there a way and what's the best way to take full-resolution screenshots of the correct size? import Cocoa import ScreenCaptureKit class ViewController: NSViewController { @IBOutlet weak var imageView: NSImageView! override func viewDidAppear() { imageView.imageScaling = .scaleProportionallyUpOrDown view.wantsLayer = true view.layer!.backgroundColor = .init(red: 1, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1) Task { let windows = try await SCShareableContent.excludingDesktopWindows(false, onScreenWindowsOnly: true).windows let window = windows[0] let filter = SCContentFilter(desktopIndependentWindow: window) let configuration = SCStreamConfiguration() configuration.ignoreShadowsSingleWindow = false configuration.showsCursor = false configuration.width = Int(Float(filter.contentRect.width) * filter.pointPixelScale) configuration.height = Int(Float(filter.contentRect.height) * filter.pointPixelScale) print(filter.contentRect) let windowImage = try await SCScreenshotManager.captureImage(contentFilter: filter, configuration: configuration) imageView.image = NSImage(cgImage: windowImage, size: CGSize(width: windowImage.width, height: windowImage.height)) } } }

Hi everyone, I'm the owner of a radio station called Radio Krimi and we have an official APP on iOS but because the technician, don't replied anymore to our message, we would like to update it with a new audio link. Then deeply sorry but I really don't know how to do it, basically it sould be easy because is a just a new link instead an old one. Please someone could help us with the process ? Thanks a lot ! Seb https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/radio-krimi/id1034088733

Add RPSystemBroadcastPickerView to the app, After clicking, no method of SampleHandler is triggered

The two ScreenCaptureKit WWDC22 sessions show how to capture with the new framework but the retina factor is hardcoded to 2 in SCStreamConfiguration. When using on a non-retina display, the screencapture is floating on the upper-left corner of the image buffer. There does not seem to be a simple way to retrieve the retina factor from the SCShareableContent data (when configuring the capture). When processing the streaming output, the SCStreamFrameInfo attachment is supposed to have a scaleFactor property but .scaleFactor does not return a value. I have found out that the attachement dictionary contains SCStreamUpdateFrameDisplayResolution. This entry gives me the retina factor but it is not an official SCStreamFrameInfo key. I list the keys to access it. What is the proper way with ScreenCapture to handle the retina factors ?

Hi all,  Apple dropping on-going development for FireWire devices that were supported with the Core Audio driver standard is a catastrophe for a lot of struggling musicians who need to both keep up to date on security updates that come with new OS releases, and continue to utilise their hard earned investments in very expensive and still pristine audio devices that have been reduced to e-waste by Apple's seemingly tone-deaf ignorance in the cries for on-going support.  I have one of said audio devices, and I'd like to keep using it while keeping my 2019 Intel Mac Book Pro up to date with the latest security updates and OS features.  Probably not the first time you gurus have had someone make the logical leap leading to a request for something like this, but I was wondering if it might be somehow possible of shoe-horning the code used in previous versions of Mac OS that allowed the Mac to speak with the audio features of such devices to run inside the Ventura version of the OS.  Would it possible? Would it involve a lot of work? I don't think I'd be the only person willing to pay for a third party application or utility that restored this functionality. There has to be 100's of thousands of people who would be happy to spare some cash to stop their multi-thousand dollar investment in gear to be so thoughtlessly resigned to the scrap heap.  Any comments or layman-friendly explanations as to why this couldn’t happen would be gratefully received!  Thanks,  em

I've just begun to dip my toes into the iOS16 waters. One of the first things that I've attempted is to edit a library playlist using: try await MusicLibrary.shared.edit(targetPlaylist, items: tracksToAdd) Where targetPlaylist is of type MusicItemCollection<MusicKit.Playlist>.Element and tracksToAdd is of type [Track] The targetPlaylist was created, using new iOS16 way, here: let newPlaylist = try await MusicLibrary.shared.createPlaylist(name: name, description: description) tracksToAdd is derived by performing a MusicLibraryRequest on a specific playlist ID, and then doing something like this: if let tracksToAdd = try await playlist.with(.tracks).tracks {    // add tracks to target playlist } My problem is that when I perform attempt the edit, I am faced with a rather sad looking crash. libdispatch.dylib`dispatch_group_leave.cold.1:     0x10b43d62c <+0>:  mov    x8, #0x0     0x10b43d630 <+4>:  stp    x20, x21, [sp, #-0x10]!     0x10b43d634 <+8>:  adrp   x20, 6     0x10b43d638 <+12>: add    x20, x20, #0xfbf          ; "BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Unbalanced call to dispatch_group_leave()"     0x10b43d63c <+16>: adrp   x21, 40     0x10b43d640 <+20>: add    x21, x21, #0x260          ; gCRAnnotations     0x10b43d644 <+24>: str    x20, [x21, #0x8]     0x10b43d648 <+28>: str    x8, [x21, #0x38]     0x10b43d64c <+32>: ldp    x20, x21, [sp], #0x10 ->  0x10b43d650 <+36>: brk    #0x1 I assume that I must be doing something wrong, but I frankly have no idea how to troubleshoot this.

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with currentPlaybackRate in release version of iOS 15.4? In my particular case this is using MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer. I've always had issues controlling this property reliably but from what I can see it is now completely non-operational in 15.4. I've isolated this behavior in a trivial project, and will file a radar, but hoping others may have some insight first. FWIW- This is my trivial test case: class ViewController: UIViewController {     lazy var player: MPMusicPlayerApplicationController = {         let player = MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer         player.repeatMode = .none         player.shuffleMode = .off         player.beginGeneratingPlaybackNotifications()         return player     }()     override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()         NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .MPMusicPlayerControllerPlaybackStateDidChange, object: nil, queue: .main) { [weak self] notification in             guard let notificationPlayer = notification.object as? MPMusicPlayerApplicationController,                   notificationPlayer === self?.player else {                 return             }                          debugPrint("Player state now: \(notificationPlayer.playbackState)")         }     }     @IBAction func goAction(_ sender: Any) {         guard let item = MPMediaQuery.songs().items?.randomElement() else {             debugPrint("Unable to access media items")             return         }         debugPrint("Now playing item: \(item.title ?? "")")         player.setQueue(with: [item.playbackStoreID])         player.prepareToPlay() { error in             guard error == nil else {                 debugPrint("Player error: \(error!.localizedDescription)")                 return             }             DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in                 self?.player.play()             }         }     } @IBAction func slowAction(_ sender: Any) {         debugPrint("Setting currentPlaybackRate to 0.5")         player.currentPlaybackRate = 0.5         checkPlaybackRate()     } @IBAction func fastAction(_ sender: Any) {         debugPrint("Setting currentPlaybackRate to 1.5")         player.currentPlaybackRate = 1.5         checkPlaybackRate()     } func checkPlaybackRate(afterSeconds delay: TimeInterval = 1.0) {         DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + delay) {             debugPrint("After \(delay) seconds currentPlaybackRate now: \(self.player.currentPlaybackRate)")         }     } } Typical console output: "Now playing item: I Know You Know" "Player state now: MPMusicPlaybackState(rawValue: 2)" "Player state now: MPMusicPlaybackState(rawValue: 1)" "Setting currentPlaybackRate to 1.5" "After 1.0 seconds currentPlaybackRate now: 1.0" "Setting currentPlaybackRate to 0.5" "After 1.0 seconds currentPlaybackRate now: 1.0"

Has anyone been able to successfully use MusicCatalogSearchRequest in a playgrounds app? I have configured my playground similar to a regular app: app id with automatic music token generation turned on, music access authorized within the app itself, but whenever I query MusicCatalogSearchRequest I get an error thrown with .developerTokenRequestFailed. Considering musickit is restricted in the sim, it would not surprise me if it was the same in playgrounds but it would be super helpful if I could prototype with musickit in playgrounds 4!

Hello, I am wondering how one can play music videos (with the actual video playing) with the ApplicationMusicPlayer using MusicKit for Swift? There is not much documentation on this, so any help would be appreciated.

If I make a request to https://api.music.apple.com/v1/storefronts/us with the proper developer jwt token in the header, I receive the a successful response with a list of store fronts. If I remove the token, I do get back a 401 error. If I call any other catalog base query, I am getting back a 500 error. For instance: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/albums/310730204 returns a 500 error with the body being {"message":"An unexpected error occurred"} I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. Please help.

Hi,Since today, we are no more able to do DELETE/PUT request on the Apple Music API.So, we can't update a playlist details, delete a playlist, delete tracks in playlist, delete tracks in library...Old methods allowed are now returning only an HTTP Code 403.Why this change in the Apple Music API ? We can hope that will be back soon ?

When I use the ColorSync Utility to convert Display P3 color (1, 0, 0) to an XYZ color, the result is (0.5151, 0.2412, -0.0011). I expected that result because that is identical to the red colorant tristimulus value in the Display P3.icc file.When I use the CGColor converted method to do the same, the XYZ color is approximately (0.5151, 0.2412, 0.0). Note that the third element is 0.0 whereas it is -0.0011 when using the ColorSync Utility. I have printed out the Z component to 16 digits of precision, and Z is all 0s. It appears that the CGColor converted method is clamping the result from 0 to 1.My questions are:1. Which conversion is correct? The ColorSync utility or the CGColor converted method?2. I am not a color specialist, but I thought that the XYZ components should never be negative. If so, is the colorant tristimulus value in the Display P3.icc file wrong?3. Because CGColor clamped the Z component to 0, the XYZ color cannot be converted back exactly or closely to the Display P3 color (1, 0, 0). I would have expected to be able to go back and forth between the two color spaces when starting from a valid P3 Display color especially since the XYZ color space completely encompasses the P3 Display color space. Is that not true?4. Is (1, 0, 0) an invalid Display P3 color? If so, I can understand the peculiar results. I'm not sure how I would know if a Display P3 color is valid or not. (I only know that the component values must be from 0 to 1.) I think it is valid because Apple uses that color in the UIColor API Reference in an example.
