I am developing and IOS app to integrate MusicKit to get User songs from their Music Library.
Since I am new to Swift and Native IOS development, it is quite difficult for me to understand the Apple Documentation.
I have able to get users Album, Songs, from library but It's properties are limited to
Song(id: "i.GEGNo8Xh0EMr8Ov", title: "Walk On Water (feat. Beyoncé)", artistName: "Eminem")
I need to get other properties of songs such as ISRC, genre, duration etc. What can I do to get the other properties? Below mentioned is my Swift Code for User Music.
i am following this docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/musickit/song
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
let status = await MusicAuthorization.request()
switch status {
case .authorized:
do{
let playlistRequest = MusicLibraryRequest<Song>()
var playlistResponse = try await playlistRequest.response().items[1]
print(playlistResponse)
print(playlistResponse.artistName)
}catch {
}

I try to get file list from the Music Library (iPod Music Library), but I can't do it, my list is always empty. I sure that I have tracks in Music Library, I check it in other app - and it works. But as I remember that application sent me a request to access the Music Library. Perhaps I also need to create such a request? Help me solve the problem. I use this code to get file list:
func fetchFileList() {
let mediaItems = MPMediaQuery.songs().items
let mediaCollection = MPMediaItemCollection(items: mediaItems ?? [])
print("mediaCollectionItems: \(mediaCollection.items)") //It's always empty
//Then I'd like to get url of the track
//let item = mediaCollection.items[0]
//let pathURL = item.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL) as? URL
//print("pathURL: \(pathURL)")
}
If you want to access the Music Library, you have to add NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key to your Info.plist with a description about what you want to do with the music.

In the video Configure and link your app clips Apple shows it's possible to have your AppClip being suggested by Siri based on the user's location.
I can't find this in the docs https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips
Is this purely based on which location other users are using this app, or is this something a developer can configure (maybe based on a geocode region)?
According to an Apple App Clips engineer I spoke to at WWDC, in order to get your App Clip published onto Apple Maps, you need to have a registered business registered with Apple. This can be done since iOS 10, via Apple Maps Connect, and registering as a small business.
The Nearby Siri suggestion is based on location data and only appears when your App Clip is associated with a place card on Apple Maps so you do not have control over this. It's definitely possible to get the user location after downloading the App Clips, as showed in the following demo but from your question I presumed you wanted to present the App Clip suggestion before downloading (isn't in the developer's control).
If you want to register an App Clip to a location, you need to wait till App Clips are fully usable and publishable on the App Store. When TestFlight and App Store Connect get support for app clips later this year, you'll be able to invoke an app clip from NFC, QR codes, Maps and more. So you would need to register your business with Apple, register your placecard in Apple Maps and then enable App Clips to get the suggestion.
There is a sample code documentation page that has Widgets and App Clip in the code: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/fruta_building_a_feature-rich_app_with_swiftui
In the link above in the App Clip code section, there is a payload that has latitude and longitude configurable. Siri should automatically suggest the App Clip based on the location you put in the latitude and longitude.
#if APPCLIP
func handleUserActivity(_ userActivity: NSUserActivity) {
guard let incomingURL = userActivity.webpageURL,
let components = NSURLComponents(url: incomingURL, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: true),
let queryItems = components.queryItems else {
return
}
if let smoothieID = queryItems.first(where: { $0.name == "smoothie" })?.value {
model.selectSmoothie(id: smoothieID)
}
guard let payload = userActivity.appClipActivationPayload,
let latitudeValue = queryItems.first(where: { $0.name == "latitude" })?.value,
let longitudeValue = queryItems.first(where: { $0.name == "longitude" })?.value,
let latitude = Double(latitudeValue), let longitude = Double(longitudeValue) else {
return
}
let region = CLCircularRegion(center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude,
longitude: longitude), radius: 100, identifier: "smoothie_location")
payload.confirmAcquired(in: region) { inRegion, error in
if let error = error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
model.applePayAllowed = inRegion
}
}
}
#endif
The code snippet is from the documentation from link above.
The documentation doesn't go in specific details yet but from what you can read here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips
and here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/configuring_your_app_clip_s_launch_experience
under "Review Advanced App Clip Experiences"
You should be able to associate your app clip with a physical location, which will be available in AppStore Connect and with this set, Siri suggestions should be able to pick up your App Clip based on the user location
I am developing an music App using Swift3 language. Where user will have popup option to show the list of Songs using Music Library & Spotify. I can able to display the song lists from Music Library to my tableview. Now I have to get the playlists from Spotify. So, I added the App in accounts.spotify.com and I can play the songs one by one using SPTAudioStreamingController.sharedInstance().metadata but full song lists are not coming.
I follow this links: https://github.com/Sethmr/SpotifyInSwift & https://medium.com/#elonrubin/ios-spotify-sdk-swift-3-0-tutorial-b629af4b889d & https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/spotify-ios-sdk/tutorial/
The problem is How can I get the list of Spotify Songs. If anyone have some idea, please suggest me. Thank You!
There is one more to try here
There are some more controls
Get an album:
_ = Spartan.getAlbum(id: albumId, market: .us, success: { (album) in
// Do something with the album
}, failure: { (error) in
print(error)
})
Get several tracks:
_ = Spartan.getTracks(ids: trackIds, market: .us, success: { (tracks) in
// Do something with the tracks
}, failure: { (error) in
print(error)
})
Try it, may help you

SPTPlaylistList.playlists(forUser: session.canonicalUsername, withAccessToken: session.accessToken, callback: { (error, response) in
self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
if let listPage = response as? SPTPlaylistList, let playlists = listPage.items as? [SPTPartialPlaylist] {
self.playlists = playlists // or however you want to parse these
self.tableView.reloadData()

So I'm building some playlist and song retrieval into my app at the moment, and I'm really confused by some of the results I'm getting back from the API. It seems to be returning songs that no longer exist on Spotify or have been long removed from a playlist.
Retrieving a list of Playlists from a user is working fine, but just in case this problem is arising from the way I draw that playlist's tracks, here is the code I use to get them:
SPTPlaylistSnapshot.playlistWithURI(uri, accessToken: session.accessToken) { (error, playlistSnapshotOb) -> Void in
if let playlistSnapshot = playlistSnapshotOb as? SPTPlaylistSnapshot {
let itemz = playlistSnapshot.firstTrackPage.items //tracksForPlayback()
for item in itemz{
let track = item as! SPTPlaylistTrack
let splice = "\(track.uri)"
let trackURI = splice.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("spotify:track:", withString: "")
var displayArtist = String()
let artistz = track.artists
if artistz.count > 1{
for i in 0...(artistz.count - 1){
let itz = artistz[i] as! SPTPartialArtist
if i > 0 {
displayArtist += ", \(itz.name)"
}else{
displayArtist += "\(itz.name)"
}
}
self.tracks.append(track.name)
self.ArtistObjects.append(displayArtist)
self.uriS.append(trackURI)
}else{
let singularArtist = artistz[0] as! SPTPartialArtist
displayArtist = singularArtist.name
self.tracks.append(track.name)
self.ArtistObjects.append(displayArtist)
self.uriS.append(trackURI)
}
Additionally, below is a screenshot of the desktop Spotify app showing the real content of the playlist I am pulling:

You'll see that the songs "Big Bank Dank" and "Light Day Remix" are not actually on this playlist, but for some reason, on my app below, when I pull this playlist, it has these songs listed:
Spotify In My App
(Apparently I can't post an actual image because of my rep - apologies)
Any idea why it's doing this?
The tracks are probably just not available any longer for some unspecified reason. This is quite common. By default, the Spotify client does not show unavailable tracks in playlists, but in settings there is a toggle you can flip so that they are shown as greyed out instead.
I don't know about iOS SDK, but there should be either an attribute telling you the available markets for the tracks or if it is playable or not, depending on the country of the user being logged in.
This is how it works in the Web API, which should be similar.

I have tried the following:
let nowPlaying = MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.defaultCenter().nowPlayingInfo
However I get back nil everytime I run it with a song playing.
I would like to be able to grab the track title and artist and display it in my app.
You're going about this completely the wrong way. MPNowPlayingInfoCenter has nothing to do with learning what is currently playing. If you want to know what the Music app is currently playing, ask the "iPod music player" (in iOS 8, it is called MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer).
try this, if you are writing an iOS app
let musicPlayer = MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer
if let nowPlayingItem = musicPlayer.nowPlayingItem {
print(nowPlayingItem.title)
} else {
print("Nothing's playing")
}
This is a modified version of this answer.
Using Swift, you can get the Now Playing info, including title, artist, artwork and app on an iOS device using the following private API:
// Load framework
let bundle = CFBundleCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, NSURL(fileURLWithPath: "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MediaRemote.framework"))
// Get a Swift function for MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfo
guard let MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfoPointer = CFBundleGetFunctionPointerForName(bundle, "MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfo" as CFString) else { return }
typealias MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfoFunction = #convention(c) (DispatchQueue, #escaping ([String: Any]) -> Void) -> Void
let MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfo = unsafeBitCast(MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfoPointer, to: MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfoFunction.self)
// Get song info
MRMediaRemoteGetNowPlayingInfo(DispatchQueue.main, { (information) in
let bundleInfo = Dynamic._MRNowPlayingClientProtobuf.initWithData(information["kMRMediaRemoteNowPlayingInfoClientPropertiesData"])
print("\(information["kMRMediaRemoteNowPlayingInfoTitle"] as! String) by \(information["kMRMediaRemoteNowPlayingInfoArtist"] as! String) playing on \(bundleInfo.displayName.asString!)")
})
Returns SONG by ARTIST playing on APP.
Note this uses the Dynamic package to easily execute private headers.
This cannot be used in an App Store app due to the use of private API.
This is not an API to get the current playing item information from Music or another app, but to tell the system that your app is currently playing something and give it the information needed to display it on lock screen.
So basically what you're trying to do won't work as you expect it.
Did you set them?
var audioPlayer:MPMoviePlayerController=MPMoviePlayerController()
MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.defaultCenter().nowPlayingInfo = [
MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle: "Album Title",
MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: "Title",
MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyElapsedPlaybackTime: audioPlayer.currentPlaybackTime,
MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration: audioPlayer.duration]
The now playing info center supports the following media item property keys:
MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle
MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTrackCount
MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTrackNumber
MPMediaItemPropertyArtist
MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork
MPMediaItemPropertyComposer
MPMediaItemPropertyDiscCount
MPMediaItemPropertyDiscNumber
MPMediaItemPropertyGenre
MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentID
MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration
MPMediaItemPropertyTitle
