Since iOS 18, the system setting “Allow Audio Playback” (enabled by default) allows third-party app audio to continue playing while the user is recording video with the Camera app. This has created a problem for the app I’m developing.
➡️ The problem:
My app plays continuous audio in both foreground and background states. If the user starts recording video using the iOS Camera app, the app’s audio — still playing in the background — gets captured in the video — obviously an unintended behavior.
Yes, the user could stop the app manually before starting the video recording, but that can’t be guaranteed. As a developer, I need a way to stop the app’s audio before the video recording begins.
So far, I haven’t found a reliable way to detect when video recording starts if ‘Allow Audio Playback’ is ON.
➡️ What I’ve tried:
— AVAudioSession.interruptionNotification → doesn’t fire
— devicesChangedEventStream → not triggered
I don’t want to request mic permission (app doesn’t use mic). also, disabling the app from playing audio in the background isn’t an option as it is a crucial part of the user experience
➡️ What I need:
A reliable, supported way to detect when the Camera app begins video recording, without requiring mic access — so I can stop audio and avoid unintentional overlap with the user’s recordings.
Any official guidance, workarounds, or AVFoundation techniques would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Windows 11 [edition/build]: [e.g., 23H2, 22631.x]
Apple Music for Windows version: [e.g., 1.x.x from Microsoft Store]
Library folder: C:\Users<user>\Music\Apple Music\Apple Music Library.musiclibrary
Summary
I need a supported way to programmatically enumerate the local Apple Music library on Windows (track file paths, playlists, etc.) for reconciliation with the on-disk Media folder. On macOS this used to be straightforward via scripting/export; on Windows I can’t find an equivalent.
What I’m seeing in the library bundle
Library.musicdb → not SQLite. First 4 bytes: 68 66 6D 61 ("hfma").
Library Preferences.musicdb → also starts with "hfma".
artwork.sqlite → SQLite but appears to be artwork cache only (no track file paths).
Extras.itdb → has SQLite format 3 header but (from a quick scan) not seeing track locations.
Genius.itdb → not a SQLite database on this machine.
What I’ve tried
Attempted to open Library.musicdb with SQLite providers → error: “file is not a database.”
Binary/string scans (ASCII, UTF-16LE/BE, null-stripped) of Library.musicdb → did not reveal file paths or obvious plist/XML/JSON blobs.
The Windows Apple Music UI doesn’t appear to expose “Export Library / Export Playlist” like legacy iTunes did, and I can’t find a public API for local library enumeration on Windows.
What I’m trying to accomplish
Read local track entries (absolute or relative paths), detect broken links, and reconcile against the Media folder. A read-only solution is fine; I do not need to modify the library.
Questions for Apple
Is the Library.musicdb file format documented anywhere, or is there a supported SDK/API to enumerate the local library on Windows?
Is there a supported export mechanism (CLI, UI, or API) on Windows Apple Music to dump the local library and/or playlists (XML/CSV/JSON)?
Is there a Windows-specific equivalent to the old iTunes COM automation or any MusicKit surface that can return local library items (not streaming catalog) and their file locations?
If none of the above exist today, is there a recommended workaround from Apple for library reconciliation on Windows (e.g., documented support for importing M3U/M3U8 to rebuild the local library from disk)?
Are there any plans/timeline for adding Windows feature parity with iTunes/Music on macOS for exporting or scripting the local library?
Why this matters
For large personal libraries, users occasionally end up with orphaned files on disk or broken links in the app. Without an export or API, it’s difficult to audit and fix at scale on Windows.
Reference details (in case it helps triage)
Library.musicdb header bytes: 68-66-6D-61-A0-00-00-00-10-26-34-00-15-00-01-00 (ASCII shows hfma…).
artwork.sqlite is readable but doesn’t contain track file paths (appears limited to artwork).
I can supply a minimal repro tool and logs if that’s helpful.
Feature request (if no current API)
Add an official Export Library/Playlists action on Windows Apple Music, or
Provide a read-only Windows API (or schema doc) that surfaces track file locations and playlist membership from the local library.
Thanks in advance for any guidance or pointers to docs I might have missed.
After upgrading to watchOS 26, users report that when playing music on Apple Watch, if a fitness reminder is received, the music automatically pauses and users need to manually tap the play button to resume music playback. This phenomenon occurs with multiple music and podcast apps.
This issue did not exist before the upgrade. We would like to know if this is an Apple bug or if there are any special development configurations needed?"
Hello,
I have an existing AUv3 instrument plugin. In the plug in, users can access files (audio files, song projects) via a UIDocumentPickerViewController
In Logic Pro, (and some other hosts, but not all), the document picker is unable to receive touches, while a keyboard case is attached to the iPad.
Removing the case (this is an Apple brand iPad case) allows the interactions to resume and allows me to pick files in the usual way.
One of my users reports this non-responsive behavior occurs even after disconnecting their keyboard.
I have fiddled with entitlements all day, and have determined that is not the issue, since the keyboard disconnection appears to fix it every time for me.
Here is my, very boilerplate, presentation code :
guard let type = UTType("com.my.type") else {
return
}
let fileBrowser = UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [type])
fileBrowser.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = .dark
fileBrowser.delegate = self
fileBrowser.directoryURL = myFileFolderURL()
self.present(fileBrowser, animated: true) {
Hi all,
i can successfully match music using shazamkit on Apple using SwiftUI, a simple app that let user to load an audio file and exctracts the relative match, while i am unable to match music using shamzamkit on Android. I am trying to make the same simple app but i cannot match music as i get MATCH_ATTEMPT_FAILED every time i try to. I don't know what i am doing wrong but the shazam part in the kotlin Android code is in this method :
suspend fun processAudioFileInBackground(
filePath: String,
developerTokenProvider: DeveloperTokenProvider
) = withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
val bufferSize = 1024 * 1024
val audioFile = FileInputStream(filePath)
val byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(bufferSize)
byteBuffer.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN)
var bytesRead: Int
while (audioFile.read(byteBuffer.array()).also { bytesRead = it } != -1) {
val signatureGenerator = (ShazamKit.createSignatureGenerator(AudioSampleRateInHz.SAMPLE_RATE_44100) as ShazamKitResult.Success).data
signatureGenerator.append(byteBuffer.array(), bytesRead, System.currentTimeMillis())
val signature = signatureGenerator.generateSignature()
println("Signature: ${signature.durationInMs}")
val catalog = ShazamKit.createShazamCatalog(developerTokenProvider, Locale.ENGLISH)
val session = (ShazamKit.createSession(catalog) as ShazamKitResult.Success).data
val matchResult = session.match(signature)
println("MatchResult : $matchResult")
setMatchResult(matchResult)
byteBuffer.clear()
}
audioFile.close()
}
I noticed that changing Locale in catalog creation results in different result as i get NoMatch without exception. Can you please help me with this?

I am developing an app that uses MusicKit to play music and then I need to have spoken words played to the user, while ducking the audio coming from MusicKit (application music player)
the built in Siri voices are not off sufficient quality so I am using an external service to create an mp3 file and then play this back using AVAudioSession
Sample code below
the problem I am having is that .duckOthers is not ducking the Application Music Player output
Is this a bug or am I doing this wrong?
// Configure audio session for system-wide ducking
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .spokenAudio, options: [.duckOthers, .mixWithOthers])
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)
// Set the ducking level to maximum
try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setPreferredIOBufferDuration(0.005)
// Create and configure audio player
self.audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(data: audioData)
self.audioPlayer?.delegate = self
self.audioPlayer?.volume = 1.0 // Ensure full volume for speech
self.audioPlayer?.prepareToPlay()
// Set the audio player's settings for maximum clarity
self.audioPlayer?.enableRate = false
self.audioPlayer?.pan = 0.0 // Center the audio
self.audioPlayer?.play()
Session player regions populate blank, with no sound media when tracks or regions are created.
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.
Dear Sirs,
I'd like to add an icon to my audio driver based on AudioDriverKit. This icon should show up left of my audio device in the audio devices dialog. For an Audio Server Plugin I managed to do this using the property kAudioDevicePropertyIcon and CFBundleCopyResourceURL(...) but how would you do this with AudioDriverKit? Should I use IOUserAudioCustomProperty or IOUserAudioControl and how would I refer to the Bundle? Is there an example available somewhere?
Thanks and best regards,
Johannes
I have both apple devices, AirPods Pro 3 is up to date and Ultra 3 is on watch os 26.1 latest public beta.
Each morning when I would go on my mindfulness app and start a meditation or listen to Apple Music on my watch and AirPods Pro 3, it will play for a few seconds then disconnects. My bluetooth settings on my watch says my AirPods is connected to my watch. I also have removed the tick about connecting automatically to iPhone on the AirPods setting in my iPhone.
To fix this I invariably turn off my Apple Watch Ultra 3 and turn it on again. Then the connection becomes stable. I am not sure why I have to do this each morning. It is frustrating. I am not sure why this fix does not last long? Is there something wrong with my AirPods?
Has anyone encountered this before?
I'm using AVFoundation to make a multi-track editor app, which can insert multiple track and clip, including scale some clip to change the speed of the clip, (also I'm not sure whether AVFoundation the best choice for me) but after making the scale with scaleTimeRange API, there is some short noise sound in play back. Also, sometimes it's fine when play AVMutableCompostion using AVPlayer with AVPlayerItem, but after exporting with AVAssetReader, will catch some short noise sounds in result file.... Not sure why.
Here is the example project, which can build and run directly. https://github.com/luckysmg/daily_images/raw/refs/heads/main/TestDemo.zip
I develop a application with an uvc camera, this camera is a webcam, I use the AVFoundation library ,but when I run the code "[self.mCaptureSession startRunning]" ,I can not get the buffer, I already set the delegate, any answer will help.
Hello,
I need to know what is a unique identifier of a MIDI device (source/destination). Important note: I want to get the same ID when a device is reconnected (unplugged and then plugged again).
The main candidate is kMIDIPropertyUniqueID property. But I don't know if it meets the requirement above or not. Additional question: is it always available for any endpoint?
Also there is kMIDIPropertyDeviceID property. What about it?
And one more option is just MIDIEndpointRef returned by MIDIGetSource or MIDIGetDestination.
So what is the proper way to get ID which persists between device reconnections?
I'm developing a TTS Audio Unit Extension that needs to write trace/log files to a shared App Group container. While the main app can successfully create and write files to the container, the extension gets sandbox denied errors despite having proper App Group entitlements configured.
Setup:
Main App (Flutter) and TTS Audio Unit Extension share the same App Group
App Group is properly configured in developer portal and entitlements
Main app successfully creates and uses files in the container
Container structure shows existing directories (config/, dictionary/) with populated files
Both targets have App Group capability enabled and entitlements set
Current behavior:
Extension can access/read the App Group container
Extension can see existing directories and files
All write attempts are blocked with "sandbox deny(1) file-write-create" errors
Code example:
const char* createSharedGroupPathWithComponent(const char* groupId, const char* component) {
NSString* groupIdStr = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:groupId];
NSString* componentStr = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:component];
NSURL* url = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:groupIdStr];
NSURL* fullPath = [url URLByAppendingPathComponent:componentStr];
NSError *error = nil;
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:fullPath.path
withIntermediateDirectories:YES
attributes:nil
error:&error]) {
NSLog(@"Unable to create directory %@", error.localizedDescription);
}
return [[fullPath path] UTF8String];
}
Error output:
Sandbox: simaromur-extension(996) deny(1) file-write-create /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/36CAFE9C-BD82-43DD-A962-2B4424E60043/trace
Key questions:
Are there additional entitlements required for TTS Audio Unit Extensions to write to App Group containers?
Is this a known limitation of TTS Audio Unit Extensions?
What is the recommended way to handle logging/tracing in TTS Audio Unit Extensions?
If writing to App Group containers is not supported, what alternatives are available?
Current entitlements:
<dict>
<key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key>
<array>
<string>group.com.<company>.<appname></string>
</array>
</dict>
My workout watch app supports audio playback during exercise sessions.
When users carry both Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods, with AirPods connected to the iPhone, I want to route audio from Apple Watch to AirPods for playback. I've implemented this functionality using the following code.
try? session.setCategory(.playback, mode: .default, policy: .longFormAudio, options: [])
try await session.activate()
When users are playing music on iPhone and trigger my code in the watch app, Apple Watch correctly guides users to select
AirPods, pauses the iPhone's music, and plays my audio.
However, when playback finishes and I end the session using the code below:
try session.setActive(false, options:[.notifyOthersOnDeactivation])
the iPhone
doesn't automatically resume the previously interrupted music playback—it requires manual intervention.
Is this expected behavior, or am I missing other important steps in my code?
Overview
We are producing audio in real time from an editing application and are trying to put that on an HLS stream. We attempt to submit PCM samples through an audio writer but are getting a crash after a select number of samples have been appended.
Depending on the number of audio frames in the PCM buffer, we might get more iterations before the crash but it always has the same traceback (see below).
Code
The setup is rather simple. We took inspiration from a few sources around the web.
NSMutableDictionary *audio = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[audio setObject:@(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC) forKey:AVFormatIDKey];
[audio setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:config.audioSampleRate] // 48000
forKey:AVSampleRateKey];
[audio setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:config.audioChannels] // 2
forKey:AVNumberOfChannelsKey];
[audio setObject:@160000 forKey:AVEncoderBitRateKey];
m_audioConfig = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:audio];
m_audio = [[AVAssetWriterInput alloc] initWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio
outputSettings:m_audioConfig];
AVAudioFrameCount audioFrames = BUFFER_SAMPLES * bCount;
AVAudioPCMBuffer *pcmBuffer = [[AVAudioPCMBuffer alloc] initWithPCMFormat:m_full.pcmFormat
frameCapacity:audioFrames];
pcmBuffer.frameLength = pcmBuffer.frameCapacity;
AudioChannelLayout layout;
memset(&layout, 0, sizeof(layout));
layout.mChannelLayoutTag = kAudioChannelLayoutTag_Stereo;
CMFormatDescriptionRef format;
OSStatus stats = CMAudioFormatDescriptionCreate(
kCFAllocatorDefault,
pcmBuffer.format.streamDescription,
sizeof(layout),
&layout,
0,
nil,
nil,
&format
);
for (int i = 0; i < bCount; i++)
{
AudioPCM pcm;
audioCallback->callback(pcm);
memcpy(*(pcmBuffer.int16ChannelData) + (bufferSize * i), pcm.data, bufferSize);
}
size_t samplesConsumed = BUFFER_SAMPLES * bCount;
CMSampleBufferRef sampleBuffer;
CMSampleTimingInfo timing;
timing.duration = CMTimeMake(1, config.audioSampleRate);
timing.presentationTimeStamp = presentationTime;
timing.decodeTimeStamp = kCMTimeInvalid;
OSStatus ostatus = CMSampleBufferCreate(
kCFAllocatorDefault,
nil,
false,
nil,
nil,
format,
(CMItemCount)pcmBuffer.frameLength,
1,
&timing,
0,
nil,
&sampleBuffer
);
////
ostatus = CMSampleBufferSetDataBufferFromAudioBufferList(
sampleBuffer,
kCFAllocatorDefault,
kCFAllocatorDefault,
kCMSampleBufferFlag_AudioBufferList_Assure16ByteAlignment,
pcmBuffer.audioBufferList
);
if (ostatus != noErr)
{
NSLog(@"fill audio sample from buffer list failed: %s", logAudioError(ostatus));
return;
}
ostatus = CMSampleBufferSetDataReady(sampleBuffer);
if (ostatus != noErr)
{
NSLog(@"set sample buffer ready failed: %s", logAudioError(ostatus));
return;
}
// Finally we can attach it, then shove the presentation time forward
[m_audio appendSampleBuffer:sampleBuffer];
The Crash
The crash points towards some level of deallocation when the conversion tooling is done or has enough samples to process an output packet? It's had to say.

I'm using a 4 channel USB Audio interface, with 4 microphones, and want to process them through 4 independent effect chains. However the output from AVAudioInputNode is a single 4 channel bus. How can I split this into 4 mono busses?
The following code splits the input into 4 copies, and routes them through the effects, but each bus contains all four channels. How can I remap the channels to remove the unwanted channels from the bus? I tried using channelMap on the mixer node but that had no effect.
I'm currently using this code primarily on iOS but it should be portable between iOS and MacOS. It would be possible to do this through a Matrix Mixer Node, but that seems completely overkill, for such a basic operation. I'm already using a Matrix Mixer to combine the inputs, and it's not well supported in AVAudioEngine.
AVAudioInputNode *inputNode=[engine inputNode];
[inputNode setVoiceProcessingEnabled:NO error:nil];
NSMutableArray *micDestinations=[NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:trackCount];
for(i=0;i<trackCount;i++)
{
fixMicFormat[i]=[AVAudioMixerNode new];
[engine attachNode:fixMicFormat[i]];
// And create reverb/compressor and eq the same way...
[engine connect:reverb[i] to:matrixMixerNode fromBus:0 toBus:i format:nil];
[engine connect:eq[i] to:reverb[i] fromBus:0 toBus:0 format:nil];
[engine connect:compressor[i] to:eq[i] fromBus:0 toBus:0 format:nil];
[engine connect:fixMicFormat[i] to:compressor[i] fromBus:0 toBus:0 format:nil];
[micDestinations addObject:[[AVAudioConnectionPoint alloc] initWithNode:fixMicFormat[i] bus:0] ];
}
AVAudioFormat *inputFormat = [inputNode outputFormatForBus: 1];
[engine connect:inputNode toConnectionPoints:micDestinations fromBus:1 format:inputFormat];

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a AVAudioEngine for USB Audio recording and monitoring playthrough.
As soon as I try to setup playthough I get an error in the console: AVAEInternal.h:83 required condition is false: [AVAudioEngineGraph.mm:1361:Initialize: (IsFormatSampleRateAndChannelCountValid(outputHWFormat))]
Any ideas how to fix it?
// Input-Device setzen
try? setupInputDevice(deviceID: inputDevice)
let input = audioEngine.inputNode
// Stereo-Format erzwingen
let inputHWFormat = input.inputFormat(forBus: 0)
let stereoFormat = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: inputHWFormat.commonFormat, sampleRate: inputHWFormat.sampleRate, channels: 2, interleaved: inputHWFormat.isInterleaved)
guard let format = stereoFormat else {
throw AudioError.deviceSetupFailed(-1)
}
print("Input format: \(inputHWFormat)")
print("Forced stereo format: \(format)")
audioEngine.attach(monitorMixer)
audioEngine.connect(input, to: monitorMixer, format: format)
// MonitorMixer -> MainMixer (Output)
// Problem here, format: format also breaks.
audioEngine.connect(monitorMixer, to: audioEngine.mainMixerNode, format: nil)
