I want to know when a song is played on music app and get its info. But I don't want to get all songs from library, It's just the songs that was played since the app starts to scan.
It's like you play something, then you open the app and it scan what you played.
I've searching about this but didn't find nothing, and I don't know where to start to implement this.

Answer 1

First, add the NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key to your Info.plist with a description of why you need access to the user's media library
Then you can find all songs that have been played since a certain time with the following code:
import MediaPlayer
#IBAction func getSongs(_ sender: Any) {
let yesterday = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -1, to: Calendar.current.startOfDay(for: Date()))!
// Check for permissions
switch MPMediaLibrary.authorizationStatus() {
case .authorized, .restricted:
fetchSongPlayed(since: yesterday)
case .notDetermined:
MPMediaLibrary.requestAuthorization { _ in
let auth = MPMediaLibrary.authorizationStatus()
if auth == .authorized || auth == .restricted {
self.fetchSongPlayed(since: yesterday)
}
}
case .denied:
print("No access to the Media Library")
}
}
func fetchSongPlayed(since date: Date) {
let query = MPMediaQuery.songs()
var results = [MPMediaItem]()
if let songs = query.items {
results = songs.filter { ($0.lastPlayedDate ?? Date.distantPast) > date }
} else {
print("Can't fetch songs")
}
// Now do whatever you want with results
// It's an array of MPMediaItem
print(results.count)
}
One more tip: sync some music from iTunes to your device as the Simulator doesn't have any bye default. There's a way to add it to the simulator but it's just easier to test on device.
