Hello. My team and I think we have an issue where our app is asked to gracefully shutdown with a following SIGTERM. As we’ve learned, this is normally not an issue. However, it seems to also be happening while our app (an audio streamer) is actively playing in the background. From our perspective, starting playback is indicating strong user intent. We understand that there can be extreme circumstances where the background audio needs to be killed, but should it be considered part of normal operation? We hope that’s not the case. All we see in the logs is the graceful shutdown request. We can say with high certainty that it’s happening though, as we know that playback is running within 0.5 seconds of the crash, without any other tracked user interaction. Can you verify if this is intended behavior, and if there’s something we can do about it from our end. From our logs it doesn’t look to be related to either memory usage within the app, or the system as a whole. Best, John

I use AVPlayer to play HLS video successfully on macOS Sonoma, but I encountered this error on macOS Sequoia. Please help me: Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11833 ‘Cannot Decode’ UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x600001e57330 {Error Domain=CoreMediaErrorDomain Code=-12906 ‘(null)’}, NSLocalizedFailureReason=The decoder required for this media cannot be found., AVErrorMediaTypeKey=vide, NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot Decode} Thanks!

我在使用 musicKit SDK for Android 1.1.2 时，发现 MediaContainerType 只定义了三种类型： 无 = 0; 专辑 = 1; 播放列表 = 2; 未定义 RADIO_STATION 类型。 但是，com.apple.android.music.playback.model 的文档指出支持 RADIO_STATION 类型。 此问题在我传入 stations ID 后会导致错误： MediaSessionManager com.apple.android.music.sdk.testapp D onPlaybackError（） Quincy java.io.IOException 请问如何解决这个问题？

I have the main app that saves preferences to UserDefaults.standard. So I have this one preference that the user is able to toggle - isRawOn UserDefaults.standard.set(self.isRawOn, forKey: "isRawOn") Now, I have LockedCameraCaptureExtension which is required know if that above setting on or off during launch. Also if it's toggled within the extension, the main app should know about it on the next launch. The main app and the extension runs on separate containers and the preferences are not shared due to privacy reasons. Apple mentions of using appContext of CameraCaptureIntent, but not sure how above scenario is possible through that....unless I am missing something. Apple Reference What I have for CameraCaptureIntent: @available(iOS 18, *) struct LaunchMyAppControlIntent: CameraCaptureIntent { typealias AppContext = MyAppContext static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "LaunchMyAppControlIntent" static let description = IntentDescription("Capture photos with MyApp.") @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result() } }

Hi, I'm a fan of the gallery in vision pro which has video as well as still photography but I'm wondering if Apple has considered adding the projected media tags to heic so that we can go that next step from Spatial photos to Immersive photos. I have a device that can give me 12k x 6k fisheye images in HDR, but it can't do it at a framerate or resolution that's good enough for video, so I want to cut my losses and show off immersive photos instead. Is there something Apple is already working on for APMP stills or should I create my own app that reads metadata inside a HEIC that I infer in a similar way to the demo "ProjectedMediaConversion" is doing for Video. It would be great to have 180VR photos, which could show as Spatial in a gallery view, but going immersive would half-surround you instead of floating in the blurred view. I think that would be a pretty amazing effect.

Hello, I am developing a video streaming service that uses FairPlay. Since around February 20th, we have started receiving reports of CoreMediaErrorDomain -42709 errors. Unfortunately, there is no documentation from Apple that explains what this error means, so we are not sure how to address or fix the issue. Most of the users who reported this error are using iOS 18.2.1 and iOS 18.3.1. Could you please advise on what we should check or how we might resolve this error?

iOS 26.0 (23A5276f) – Bluetooth Call Audio Issue I’m experiencing a Bluetooth audio issue on iOS 26.0 (build 23A5276f). I cannot make or receive phone calls properly using Bluetooth devices — this affects both my car’s Bluetooth system and my AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Notably: Regular phone calls have no audio (either I can’t hear the other person, or they can’t hear me). WhatsApp and other VoIP apps work fine with the same Bluetooth devices. Media playback (music, video, etc.) works without issues over Bluetooth. It seems this bug is limited to the native Phone app or the system audio routing for regular cellular calls. Please advise if this is a known issue or if a fix is expected in upcoming beta releases.

We are using a VoiceProcessingIO audio unit in our VoIP application on Mac. In certain scenarios, the AudioComponentInstanceNew call blocks for up to five seconds (at least two). We are using the following code to initialize the audio unit: OSStatus status; AudioComponentDescription desc; AudioComponent inputComponent; desc.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output; desc.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_VoiceProcessingIO; desc.componentFlags = 0; desc.componentFlagsMask = 0; desc.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple; inputComponent = AudioComponentFindNext(NULL, &desc); status = AudioComponentInstanceNew(inputComponent, &unit); We are having the issue with current MacOS versions on a host of different Macs (x86 and x64 alike). It takes two to three seconds until AudioComponentInstanceNew returns. We also see the following errors in the log multiple times: AUVPAggregate.cpp:2560 AggInpStreamsChanged wait failed and those right after (which I don't know if they matter to this issue): KeystrokeSuppressorCore.cpp:44 ERROR: KeystrokeSuppressor initialization was unsuccessful. Invalid or no plist was provided. AU will be bypassed. vpStrategyManager.mm:486 Error code 2003332927 reported at GetPropertyInfo

Hi, when using ApplicationMusicPlayer from MusicKit my app automatically gets the media controls on the lock screen: Play/ Pause, Skip Buttons, Playback Position etc. I would like to customize these. Tried a bunch of things, e.g. using MPRemoteCommandCenter. So far I haven't had any success. Does anyone know how I can customize the media controls of ApplicationMusicPlayer. Thank you.

Hello! I've two mics connected to a USB-hub. The USB-hub is then connected to my iPad. Both mics are part of the audio session's list of available inputs. The problem is that regardless of which mic I select in my app (using setPreferredInput() on the audio session), the audio keeps coming from the mic that was last connected to the USB-hub. Anyone that knows if this is a limitation in iPadOS/iOS?

In the past, when using Lightning, many external devices had to go through MFi certification. However, since the iPhone 15 switched from Lightning to USB-C, is MFi certification still required? Our company has developed several UVC devices, and we have confirmed that iPads can read frames from external cameras through the external device type in AVFoundation. However, this is not supported on iPhones. We are currently exploring feasible ways to enable UVC device support on iPhones. Is MFi certification the only option? If so, is the MFi certification process for USB-C the same as it was for Lightning? Does it still require purchasing an MFi chip and manufacturing specially designed USB-C cables?

Is it possible to stream video from a UVC (USB Video Class) camera on an iPhone 15? If so, are there any specific hardware or software requirements to enable this functionality?

I was trying to set custom audio output device for a generated audio on macCatalyst. While using let status = AudioUnitSetProperty(outputUnit, kAudioOutputUnitProperty_CurrentDevice, kAudioUnitScope_Global, 0, &outputDeviceID, UInt32(MemoryLayout.size)) kAudioOutputUnitProperty_CurrentDevice is invalid, and status = -10879, indicating an error. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Set Run Destination to MacOS and run the program. "AudioUnitSetProperty: 0" should be printed, indicating it works fine. Set Run Destination to Mac Catalyst and run the program. "Error setting output device: -10879" should be printed, indicating an error.

Does anyone have a template of an Apple Projected Media Profile Format Description or a File of a Stereo wideFOV video? Use case I have 2 compatible cameras that I stereo sync and I want to move the projection information from the compatible video to the Spatial video that combines them. Every version I can come up with crashes the AVP and when viewing as Spatial in Tahoe I just get a black screen.

I use replaykit for system-level screen recording. I want to determine whether the screen is in landscape mode by calling back CMSamplebuffer, but CMSamplebuffer does not come with this information. The other several apis related to obtaining the screen orientation are also restricted by the background. I want to know whether the information of the screen rotation direction can be obtained in real time in the background

I am developing an iOS app with video call functionality and implementing Picture in Picture (PiP) mode for video calls. The issue I am facing is that the camera stops capturing video when the app goes to the background, even though the PiP view is still visible. I have noticed that some apps, like Telegram, manage to keep the camera working in PiP mode while the app is in the background. How can I achieve this in my app?

I have beet taking images from the iOS video camera feed and have encountered an issue. When you take images form the wideCamera this consumes about half the phone's CPU. The same is not the case when you take images from the telephotoCamera video stream. Is there a way of disabling the extra processing that is being done?

i have a CarPlay implementation eand I want to show previous/next track button on player UI MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared().seekForwardCommand.isEnabled = false MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared().seekBackwardCommand.isEnabled = false MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared().previousTrackCommand.isEnabled = true MPRemoteCommandCenter.shared().nextTrackCommand.isEnabled = true It works correctly on CarPlay simulator , but on some car only SEEK button are shown . I have to suppose that it is that a problem on the car side , but I would ask about your opinion , maybe there is some pieces I'm missing

There are several unknown pictures were added to my iPhone Photos. I'm developing a iOS app in swiftUI. And I'm sure that neither my developing app asked a permission to save photos to iOS device, nor these pictures are taken by myself, downloaded from the web, or synced from my iCloud. Why does this happen? Is my account or my iPhone attacked or hacked? btw, my device has turned the debug mode on, will this setting option would leads some vulnerability or some debug tools would add photos to my albums? The attached pictures are the unknown photos in my Photos App. I'v search this photo with google. And I found that many developers in stack overflow use this picture when they encounter troubles with image display or other manipulation. Where where are this photo come from? Why does it exist in my Photo albums?

Hello! Just curious if AVAssetWriter append() randomly fails for anyone but me? Seems to happen when live streaming (encoding with VTCompressionSession) and recording (with AVAssetWriter) at the same time.
