Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with PHPickerFilter when using PHPickerViewController. When I configure the picker with a .videos and .livePhotos filter, it seems to work correctly in the Photos tab. However, when I switch to the Collections tab, the filter doesn’t always apply — users can still see and select static image assets in certain collections (e.g. from one of the People & Pets sections). Here’s a simplified snippet of my setup: var configuration = PHPickerConfiguration(photoLibrary: .shared()) configuration.selectionLimit = 1 var filters = [PHPickerFilter]() filters.append(.videos) filters.append(.livePhotos) configuration.filter = PHPickerFilter.any(of: filters) configuration.preferredAssetRepresentationMode = .current let picker = PHPickerViewController(configuration: configuration) picker.delegate = self present(picker, animated: true) Expected behavior: The picker should consistently respect the filter across both Photos and Collections tabs, only showing assets that match the filter. Actual behavior: The filter seems to apply correctly in the Photos tab, but in the Collections tab, other asset types are still visible/selectable. Has anyone else encountered this behavior? Is this expected or a known issue, or am I missing something in the configuration? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I believe I've found a potential error in the sample code on the documentation page for creating and using a process tap with an aggregate device. The issue is in the section explaining how to add a tap to the aggregate device. I have already filed a Feedback Assistant ticket on this (ID: FB17411663) but haven't heard back for months. Capturing system audio with Core Audio taps The sample code for modifying the kAudioAggregateDevicePropertyTapList incorrectly uses the tapID as the target AudioObjectID when calling AudioObjectSetPropertyData. // (Code to get the list and potentially modify listAsArray) if var listAsArray = list as? [CFString] { // ... (modification logic) ... // Set the list back on the aggregate device. <--- The comment is correct list = listAsArray as CFArray _ = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &list) { list in // INCORRECT: This call uses tapID as the target object. AudioObjectSetPropertyData(tapID, &propertyAddress, 0, nil, propertySize, list) } } The kAudioAggregateDevicePropertyTapList is a property that belongs to the aggregate device, not the individual tap. Therefore, to set this property, the AudioObjectSetPropertyData function must target the AudioObjectID of the aggregate device itself. Using tapID as the first argument is logically incorrect for this operation and will not update the aggregate device as intended. Furthermore, the preceding AudioObjectGetPropertyData call to fetch the list also appears to use the incorrect tapID as its target in the sample. The AudioObjectID for both getting and setting this property should be the ID of the aggregate device. _ = AudioObjectGetPropertyData(aggregateDeviceID, &propertyAddress, 0, nil, &propertySize, &list) _ = AudioObjectSetPropertyData(aggregateDeviceID, &propertyAddress, 0, nil, propertySize, newList) Thank you!

When I play an HDR video in the iPhone Photos app, I can see the HDR effect obviously. But if this HDR video is played continuously for more than 30-40 minutes, the HDR effect will disappear and the brightness will be compressed to the SDR range. This issue will appear on any iPhone. Depending on the phone, it may be 20-30 minutes, or 30-40 minutes, or even a few minutes, such as iPhone 12 mini. Similarly, if I use AVPlayer to play and preview an HDR video, if it plays more than 30-40 minutes, the HDR effect will disappear and the screen brightness will dim. Also the currentEDRHeadroom will gradually decrease to 1 Note, test it with an HDR video longer than 1 hour, and if the video is short, please loop it. My question is how to avoid losing the HDR effect after 30-40 minutes when I use CAMetalLayer to render any HDR video.

3 I am working on an application to get when input audio device is being used. Basically I want to know the application using the microphone (built-in or external) This app runs on macOS. For Mac versions starting from Sonoma I can use this code: int getAudioProcessPID(AudioObjectID process) { pid_t pid; if (@available(macOS 14.0, *)) { constexpr AudioObjectPropertyAddress prop { kAudioProcessPropertyPID, kAudioObjectPropertyScopeGlobal, kAudioObjectPropertyElementMain }; UInt32 dataSize = sizeof(pid); OSStatus error = AudioObjectGetPropertyData(process, &amp;prop, 0, nullptr, &amp;dataSize, &amp;pid); if (error != noErr) { return -1; } } else { // Pre sonoma code goes here } return pid; } which works. However, kAudioProcessPropertyPID was added in macOS SDK 14.0. Does anyone know how to achieve the same functionality on previous versions?

I want to use both front UW and TrueDepth cameras in iPad which has front UW camera. Firstly, I have used only front builtInDualCamera by AVFoundation and tried all the formats that can be used with builtInDualCamera, but there was no format that could capture UW. Secondly, I have tried to both front builtInDualCamera and builtInUltraWideCamera, but there was no combination that could use builtInUltraWideCamera and builtInDualCamera. Is there any way ?

Good day, ladies and gents. I have an application that reads audio from the microphone. I'd like it to also be able to read from the Mac's audio output stream. (A bonus would be if it could detect when the Mac is playing music.) I'd eventually be able to figure it out reading docs, but if someone can give a hint, I'd be very grateful, and would owe you the libation of your choice. Here's the code used to set up the AudioUnit: -(NSString*) configureAU { AudioComponent component = NULL; AudioComponentDescription description; OSStatus err = noErr; UInt32 param; AURenderCallbackStruct callback; if( audioUnit ) { AudioComponentInstanceDispose( audioUnit ); audioUnit = NULL; } // was CloseComponent // Open the AudioOutputUnit description.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output; description.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_HALOutput; description.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple; description.componentFlags = 0; description.componentFlagsMask = 0; if( component = AudioComponentFindNext( NULL, &description ) ) { err = AudioComponentInstanceNew( component, &audioUnit ); if( err != noErr ) { audioUnit = NULL; return [ NSString stringWithFormat: @"Couldn't open AudioUnit component (ID=%d)", err] ; } } // Configure the AudioOutputUnit: // You must enable the Audio Unit (AUHAL) for input and output for the same device. // When using AudioUnitSetProperty the 4th parameter in the method refers to an AudioUnitElement. // When using an AudioOutputUnit for input the element will be '1' and the output element will be '0'. param = 1; // Enable input on the AUHAL err = AudioUnitSetProperty( audioUnit, kAudioOutputUnitProperty_EnableIO, kAudioUnitScope_Input, 1, &param, sizeof(UInt32) ); chkerr("Couldn't set first EnableIO prop (enable inpjt) (ID=%d)"); param = 0; // Disable output on the AUHAL err = AudioUnitSetProperty( audioUnit, kAudioOutputUnitProperty_EnableIO, kAudioUnitScope_Output, 0, &param, sizeof(UInt32) ); chkerr("Couldn't set second EnableIO property on the audio unit (disable ootpjt) (ID=%d)"); param = sizeof(AudioDeviceID); // Select the default input device AudioObjectPropertyAddress OutputAddr = { kAudioHardwarePropertyDefaultInputDevice, kAudioObjectPropertyScopeGlobal, kAudioObjectPropertyElementMaster };

if( audioBuffer == NULL ) { [ self cleanUp ]; return [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Could not allocate buffers for recording (ID=%d)", err]; } return nil; } (...again, it would be nice to know if audio output is active and thereby choose the clean output stream over the noisy mic, but that would be a different chunk of code, and my main question may just be a quick edit to this chunk.) Thanks for your attention! ==Dave [p.s. if i get more than one useful answer, can i "Accept" more than one, to spread the credit around?] {pps: of course, the code lines up prettier in a monospaced font!}

Our Final Cut Pro workflow extension built with ProExtensionHost framework uses an advanced NSPasteboardItemDataProvider system with multi-version FCPXML support (1.9, 1.10, 1.13) and proper relative path UIDs for Motion templates. We've implemented clip wrapper approach with placeholder assets and elements containing effects to enable direct timeline drag functionality. However, drag and drop from our Final Cut Pro workflow extension directly to timeline is still not working despite proper element structure in our FCPXML. Our implementation creates valid clip elements with effects applied, but Final Cut Pro timeline doesn't accept them during drag operations from our ProExtensionHost-based workflow extension. Steps to Reproduce: Create Final Cut Pro workflow extension using ProExtensionHost framework with NSPasteboardItemDataProvider implementation Generate FCPXML with proper element structure: Expected Result: Clip should be accepted by timeline and effect applied from workflow extension Actual Result: Timeline rejects drag operation from ProExtensionHost-based workflow extension Question: Are there additional requirements or ProExtensionHost API calls needed beyond standard NSPasteboardItemDataProvider for Final Cut Pro workflow extension timeline drag functionality?

My Environment: Device: Mac (Apple Silicon, arm64) OS: macOS 15.6.1 Description: I'm developing a music app and have encountered an issue where I cannot update the playbackState in MPNowPlayingInfoCenter after my app loses audio focus to another app. Even though my app correctly calls [MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter].playbackState = .paused, the system's Now Playing UI (Control Center, Lock Screen, AirPods controls) does not reflect this change. The UI remains stuck until the app that currently holds audio focus also changes its playback state. I've observed this same behavior in other third-party music apps from the App Store, which suggests it might be a system-level issue. Steps to Reproduce: Use two most popular music apps in Chinese app Store (NeteaseCloud music and QQ music) (let's call them App A and App B): Start playback in App A. Start playback in App B. (App B now has audio focus, and App A is still playing). Attempt to pause App A via the system's Control Center or its own UI. Observed Behavior: App A's audio stream stops, but in the system's Now Playing controls, App A still appears to be playing. The progress bar continues to advance, and the pause button becomes unresponsive. If you then pause App B, the Now Playing UI for App A immediately corrects itself and displays the proper "paused" state. My Questions: Is there a specific procedure required to update MPNowPlayingInfoCenter when an app is not the current "Now Playing" application? Is this a known issue or expected behavior in macOS? Are there any official workarounds or solutions to ensure the UI updates correctly?

Hi, when a CoreMIDI driver controls physical HW it is probably quite commune to have to control the amount of MIDI data received from the system. What comes to mind is to just delay returning control of the MIDIDriverInterface::Send() callback to the calling process. While the application trying to send MIDI really stalls until the callback returns it seems only to be a side effect of a generally stalled CoreMIDI server. Between the callbacks the application can send as much MIDI data as it wants to CoreMIDI, it's buffering seems to be endless... However the HW might not be able to play out all the data. It seems there is no way to indicate an overflow/full buffer situation back the application/CoreMIDI. How is this supposed to work? Thanks, any hints or pointers are highly appreciated! Hagen.

We encounter issue with avplayer in case of EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY misalignment between audio and video produced after insertion of gaps. The initial objective is to introduce an EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY in audio playlist after some missing segments (EXT-X-GAP) which durations are aligned to video segments durations, to handle irregular audio durations. Please find below an example of corresponding video and audio playlists: video: #EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:7 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:872524632 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #USP-X-TIMESTAMP-MAP:MPEGTS=7096045027,LOCAL=2025-05-09T12:38:32.369100Z #EXT-X-MAP:URI="hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200.m4s" #EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME:2025-05-09T12:38:32.369111Z #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524632.m4s #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524633.m4s #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524634.m4s #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524635.m4s #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524636.m4s ## Media sequence discontinuity #EXT-X-GAP #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524637.m4s ## Media sequence discontinuity #EXT-X-GAP #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524638.m4s #EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME:2025-05-09T12:38:46.383111Z #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524639.m4s #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-video=979200-872524640.m4s audio: EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:7 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:872524632 #EXT-X-INDEPENDENT-SEGMENTS #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2 #USP-X-TIMESTAMP-MAP:MPEGTS=7096045867,LOCAL=2025-05-09T12:38:32.378400Z #EXT-X-MAP:URI="hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800.m4s" #EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME:2025-05-09T12:38:32.378444Z #EXTINF:2.0053, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524632.m4s #EXTINF:2.0053, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524633.m4s #EXTINF:2.0053, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524634.m4s #EXTINF:1.984, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524635.m4s #EXTINF:2.0053, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524636.m4s ## Media sequence discontinuity #EXT-X-GAP #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524637.m4s ## Media sequence discontinuity #EXT-X-GAP #EXTINF:2.002, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524638.m4s #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY #EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME:2025-05-09T12:38:46.778444Z #EXTINF:1.6213, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524639.m4s #EXTINF:2.0053, no desc hls/StreamingBasic-audio_99500_eng=98800-872524640.m4s In this case playback is broken with avplayer. Is it conformed to Http Live Streaming? Is it an avplayer bug? What are the guidelines to handle such gaps?

Area ImageCaptureCore / ICDeviceBrowser Description On iOS 26.1 beta, calling requestControlAuthorization() requestContentsAuthorization() always returns .notDetermined and never transitions to .authorized or .denied. This prevents apps from properly accessing device control or contents authorization. The issue occurs regardless of device state or prior requests. Steps to Reproduce 1. Create and start an ICDeviceBrowser instance. 2. Call requestControlAuthorization() or requestContentsAuthorization(). 3. Inspect the returned ICAuthorizationStatus. Expected Result • The system should prompt the user if necessary. • A final status of either .authorized or .denied should be returned. Actual Result • The completion handler always reports .notDetermined. • No user prompt appears and the status does not change. Version / Build • iOS 26.1 beta • Xcode Hardware • [iPhone 15 Pro, iPad Pro (M2)] Impact This regression blocks development and testing of features relying on ImageCaptureCore. Applications depending on device browsing and content access cannot proceed, which significantly affects workflows involving external device integration. Notes This appears to be a regression compared to earlier iOS releases.

{ "aps": { "content-available": 1 }, "audio_file_name": "ding.caf", "audio_url": "https://example.com/audio.mp3" } When the app is in the background or killed, it receives a remote APNs push. The data format is roughly as shown above. How can I play the MP3 audio file at the specified "audio_url"? The user does not need to interact with the device when receiving the APNs. How can I play the audio file immediately after receiving it?

My implementation of LockedCameraCapture does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully. Standard Xcode target template: Lock_Screen_Capture.swift @main struct Lock_Screen_Capture: LockedCameraCaptureExtension { var body: some LockedCameraCaptureExtensionScene { LockedCameraCaptureUIScene { session in Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder(session: session) } } } Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder.swift: import SwiftUI import UIKit import UniformTypeIdentifiers import LockedCameraCapture struct Lock_Screen_CaptureViewFinder: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let session: LockedCameraCaptureSession var sourceType: UIImagePickerController.SourceType = .camera init(session: LockedCameraCaptureSession) { self.session = session } func makeUIViewController(context: Self.Context) -> UIImagePickerController { let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController() imagePicker.sourceType = sourceType imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UTType.image.identifier, UTType.movie.identifier] imagePicker.cameraDevice = .rear return imagePicker } func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIImagePickerController, context: Self.Context) { } } Then I have my widget: struct CameraWidgetControl: ControlWidget { var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration { StaticControlConfiguration( kind: "com.myCompany.myAppName.lock-screen") { ControlWidgetButton(action: MyAppCaptureIntent()) { Label("Capture", systemImage: "camera.shutter.button.fill") } } } } My AppIntent: struct MyAppContext: Codable {} struct MyAppCaptureIntent: CameraCaptureIntent { typealias AppContext = MyAppContext static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "MyAppCaptureIntent" static let description = IntentDescription("Capture photos and videos with MyApp.") @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result() } } The Issue LockedCameraCapture Widget does not launch my app when tapped from locked screen. You get the Face ID prompt and takes you to just Home Screen. But when the same widget is in the Control Center, it launches the app successfully. Error Message When tapped on Lock Screen, I get the following error code: LaunchServices: store ‹private > or url ‹private > was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo=&NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler} Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied.

Hi everyone! Here's what I observed so far: On device it's reproducible on iOS/iPadOS18.5, but works on iPadOS17.7. On iPhone16 iOS 18.5 simulator that I was extensively using for development it was reproducible until I reset content and settings. On iPhone 16 iOS18.4 simulator, which was also used a lot during development it still works always, so I tend to think it's 18.5 issue. Setting config.websiteDataStore = .nonPersistent() doesn't help. Cleaning WKWebsiteDataStore doesn't help. It works fine using direct URL from the embedded code (see the code below). Can someone provide some insight on how this could be fixed? Here's the code: import SwiftUI import WebKit @main struct IGVideoApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { WebView() } } } private struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable { func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() config.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true return .init(frame: .zero, configuration: config) } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { let urlString = "https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKHFOGct3z7/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" /// It works when loading from the data-instgrm-permalink URL directly // uiView.load(.init(url: .init(string: "\(urlString)")!)) /// It doesn't work whith embedding /// Note: the code part for embedding (<blockquote>...</blockquote>) is taken from my /// Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DKHFOGct3z7/) /// and stripped down.

Hi, I'm trying to plan out development of an app and am wondering if it is possible to have user generated content automatically populate into a custom shazamkit catalogue and be able to query this catalogue non-locally? Storing all the submissions locally would obviously not scale.

Hello Apple Engineers, I am developing a feature related to SpeechRecognizer (import Speech), and I have two questions: After adding the NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription key in my Info.plist, when I initialize an SFSpeechRecognizer instance, the system shows an authorization alert. The alert contains a pre-defined message from Apple: “Speech data from this app will be sent to Apple to process your requests. This will also help Apple improve its speech recognition technology.” Is it possible to remove or customize this message? My app runs in a network environment with a whitelist. I need to know which URL the SFSpeechRecognizer instance connects to, and which port it uses, so that I can add it to the whitelist. Thank you very much for your support! Best regards, Yu Cheng
