Hi all, I’ve implemented the new Core Audio Tap API (AudioHardwareCreateProcessTap with CATapDescription) and I’m seeing consistent level attenuation that scales with the number of stereo output pairs exposed by the target device. What I observe Device with 4 stereo pairs (8 outs) → tap shows −12.04 dB relative to source. True 2-ch devices (built-in speakers, AirPods) → ~0 dB attenuation. The attenuation appears regardless of whether I: Create a global (default-output) tap via initStereoGlobalTapButExcludeProcesses: Or create a per-process/per-device tap via initWithProcesses:andDeviceUID:withStream: Additionally, the routing choice inside the sending app matters: App output to “System/Default Output” → I often see no attenuation. App output directly to a multi-out interface (e.g., RME Fireface) → I see the pair-count-scaled attenuation. I can query Core Audio for the number of output channels/pairs and gain-compensate (+20·log10(N_pairs) dB) and that matches my measurements for many cases. However, this compensation is not universally correct because it seems to depend on where each process routes its audio (Default Output vs. direct device), even when those processes are included in the same tap aggregate. Question Is there a supported way to obtain the raw, unattenuated streams for all processes through the Tap API—i.e., to bypass this automatic headroom/attenuation behavior entirely? If this attenuation is expected by design: Is there a documented rule for when it applies (global vs. device taps, per-process taps, stream selection, etc.)? Is there a property/flag to disable it, or a reliable, official method to compute the exact compensation (beyond counting stereo pairs)? Any guidance on ensuring consistent levels when multiple processes route differently (Default Output vs. direct device) but are captured by the same tap? Environment API: AudioHardwareCreateProcessTap + CATapDescription Devices: built-in output (2-ch), RME Fireface (8+ outs / 4+ stereo pairs) Behavior reproducible with both global and per-process/per-device tap descriptions. Attenuation example: 4 stereo pairs → −12.04 dB observed. Happy to provide a minimal sample, measurements, and device logs. Thanks! — David

Hello there! Is there any list of voices that are always available on iOS/iPadOS devices? It seems that AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(identifier: "com.apple.voice.compact.en-US.Samantha") is always available on all devices. I thought that AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(identifier: "com.apple.ttsbundle.siri_Nicky_en-US_compact") and AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(identifier: "com.apple.ttsbundle.siri_Aaron_en-US_compact") were available by default on certain newer devices. Is this true? I also noticed that on the same iPad where I was using those 2 voices (Nicky and Aaron) - when I updated to the iPadOS 26 beta, those voices were no longer available. Any information you can share about which voices should be reliably available on which devices would be extremely helpful for our development. Thanks so much!

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?

Among the millions of users of our online product, we have identified through data metrics that the silent audio data capture rate on iPadOS 18.4.1 or 18.5 has increased abnormally. However, we are unable to reproduce the issue. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? The parameters we used are as follows: AudioSession: category:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord mode:AVAudioSessionModeDefault option:77 preferredSampleRate:48000.000000 preferredIOBufferDuration:0.010000 AudioUnit format.mFormatID = kAudioFormatLinearPCM; format.mSampleRate = 48000.0; format.mChannelsPerFrame = 2; format.mBitsPerChannel = 16; format.mFramesPerPacket = 1; format.mBytesPerFrame = format.mChannelsPerFrame * 16 / 8; format.mBytesPerPacket = format.mBytesPerFrame * format.mFramesPerPacket; format.mFormatFlags = kAudioFormatFlagsNativeEndian | kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsPacked | kLinearPCMFormatFlagIsSignedInteger; component.componentType = kAudioUnitType_Output; component.componentSubType = kAudioUnitSubType_RemoteIO; component.componentManufacturer = kAudioUnitManufacturer_Apple; component.componentFlags = 0; component.componentFlagsMask = 0;

I am trying to get MIDI output from the AU Host demo app using the recent MIDI processor example. The processor works correctly in Logic Pro, but I cannot send MIDI from the AUv3 extension in standalone mode using the default host app to another program (e.g., Ableton). The MIDI manager, which is part of the standalone host app, works fine, and I can send MIDI using it directly—Ableton receives it without issues. I have already set the midiOutputNames in the extension, and the midiOutBlock is mapped. However, the MIDI data from the AUv3 extension does not reach Ableton in standalone mode. I suspect the issue is that midiOutBlock might never be called in the plugin, or perhaps an input to the plugin is missing, which prevents it from sending MIDI. I am currently using the default routing. I have modified the MIDI manager such that it works well as described above. Here is a part of my code for SimplePlayEngine.swift and my MIDIManager.swift for reference: @MainActor @Observable public class SimplePlayEngine { private let midiOutBlock: AUMIDIOutputEventBlock = { sampleTime, cable, length, data in return noErr } var scheduleMIDIEventListBlock: AUMIDIEventListBlock? = nil public init() { engine.attach(player) engine.prepare() setupMIDI() } private func setupMIDI() { if !MIDIManager.shared.setupPort(midiProtocol: MIDIProtocolID._2_0, receiveBlock: { [weak self] eventList, _ in if let scheduleMIDIEventListBlock = self?.scheduleMIDIEventListBlock { _ = scheduleMIDIEventListBlock(AUEventSampleTimeImmediate, 0, eventList) } }) { fatalError("Failed to setup Core MIDI") } } func initComponent(type: String, subType: String, manufacturer: String) async -> ViewController? { reset() guard let component = AVAudioUnit.findComponent(type: type, subType: subType, manufacturer: manufacturer) else { fatalError("Failed to find component with type: \(type), subtype: \(subType), manufacturer: \(manufacturer))" ) } do { let audioUnit = try await AVAudioUnit.instantiate( with: component.audioComponentDescription, options: AudioComponentInstantiationOptions.loadOutOfProcess) self.avAudioUnit = audioUnit self.connect(avAudioUnit: audioUnit) return await audioUnit.loadAudioUnitViewController() } catch { return nil } } private func startPlayingInternal() { guard let avAudioUnit = self.avAudioUnit else { return } setSessionActive(true) if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { scheduleEffectLoop() } let hardwareFormat = engine.outputNode.outputFormat(forBus: 0) engine.connect(engine.mainMixerNode, to: engine.outputNode, format: hardwareFormat) do { try engine.start() } catch { isPlaying = false fatalError("Could not start engine. error: \(error).") } if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { player.play() } isPlaying = true } private func resetAudioLoop() { guard let avAudioUnit = self.avAudioUnit else { return } if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { guard let format = file?.processingFormat else { fatalError("No AVAudioFile defined.") } engine.connect(player, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: format) } } public func connect(avAudioUnit: AVAudioUnit?, completion: @escaping (() -> Void) = {}) { guard let avAudioUnit = self.avAudioUnit else { return } engine.disconnectNodeInput(engine.mainMixerNode) resetAudioLoop() engine.detach(avAudioUnit) func rewiringComplete() { scheduleMIDIEventListBlock = auAudioUnit.scheduleMIDIEventListBlock if isPlaying { player.play() } completion() } let hardwareFormat = engine.outputNode.outputFormat(forBus: 0) engine.connect(engine.mainMixerNode, to: engine.outputNode, format: hardwareFormat) if isPlaying { player.pause() } let auAudioUnit = avAudioUnit.auAudioUnit if !auAudioUnit.midiOutputNames.isEmpty { auAudioUnit.midiOutputEventBlock = midiOutBlock } engine.attach(avAudioUnit) if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { engine.disconnectNodeInput(engine.mainMixerNode) if let format = file?.processingFormat { engine.connect(player, to: avAudioUnit, format: format) engine.connect(avAudioUnit, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: format) } } else { let stereoFormat = AVAudioFormat(standardFormatWithSampleRate: hardwareFormat.sampleRate, channels: 2) engine.connect(avAudioUnit, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: stereoFormat) } rewiringComplete() } } and my MIDI Manager @MainActor class MIDIManager: Identifiable, ObservableObject { func setupPort(midiProtocol: MIDIProtocolID, receiveBlock: @escaping @Sendable MIDIReceiveBlock) -> Bool { guard setupClient() else { return false } if MIDIInputPortCreateWithProtocol(client, portName, midiProtocol, &port, receiveBlock) != noErr { return false } for source in self.sources { if MIDIPortConnectSource(port, source, nil) != noErr { print("Failed to connect to source \(source)") return false } } setupVirtualMIDIOutput() return true } private func setupVirtualMIDIOutput() { let virtualStatus = MIDISourceCreate(client, virtualSourceName, &virtualSource) if virtualStatus != noErr { print("❌ Failed to create virtual MIDI source: \(virtualStatus)") } else { print("✅ Created virtual MIDI source: \(virtualSourceName)") } } func sendMIDIData(_ data: [UInt8]) { print("hey") var packetList = MIDIPacketList() withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &packetList) { ptr in let pkt = MIDIPacketListInit(ptr) _ = MIDIPacketListAdd(ptr, 1024, pkt, 0, data.count, data) if virtualSource != 0 { let status = MIDIReceived(virtualSource, ptr) if status != noErr { print("❌ Failed to send MIDI data: \(status)") } else { print("✅ Sent MIDI data: \(data)") } } } } }

We’ve encountered a reproducible issue where the iPhone fails to reconnect to a Wi-Fi access point under the following conditions: The device is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. A Bluetooth audio accessory is connected (e.g. headset). AVAudioSession is active (such as during a voice call or when using the Voice Memos app). The user moves away from the access point, causing a disconnect. Upon returning within range, the access point is no longer recognized or reconnected while AVAudioSession remains active. However, if the Bluetooth device is disconnected or the AVAudioSession is deactivated, the Wi-Fi access point is immediately recognized again. We confirmed this behavior not only in my app but also using Apple's built-in Voice Memos app, suggesting this is not specific to our implementation. It appears that the Wi-Fi system deprioritizes reconnection while AVAudioSession is engaged. Could this be by design? Or is this a known issue or limitation with Wi-Fi and AVAudioSession interaction? Test Environment: Device: iPhone 13 mini iOS: 17.5.1 Wi-Fi: 2.4GHz band Accessories: Bluetooth headset We’d appreciate clarification on whether this is expected behavior or a bug. Thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to setup a AVAudioEngine for USB Audio recording and monitoring playthrough.

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?

Currently, I have successfully used ChannelMap to map hardware input channels and obtained audio data from the hardware device's MIC and OTG inputs. Additionally, I have used ChannelMap to map output channels to freely feed data for playback to each output channel. However, I now have a problem. I have a hardware device that only has output channels (no input channels), and the system has set this hardware device as the default playback device. In this case, how can I obtain the audio data being played to the output channels for modification?

I'm encountering errors while using AVAudioEngine with voice processing enabled (setVoiceProcessingEnabled(true)) in scenarios where the input and output audio devices are not the same. This issue arises specifically with mismatched devices, preventing the application from functioning as expected. Works: Paired devices (e.g., MacBook Pro mic → MacBook Pro speakers) Fails: Mismatched devices (e.g., AirPods mic → MacBook Pro speakers) When using paired input and output devices: The setup works as expected. Example: MacBook Pro microphone → MacBook Pro speakers. When using mismatched devices: AVAudioEngine setup fails during aggregate device construction. Example: AirPods microphone → MacBook Pro speakers. Error logs indicate a channel count mismatch. Here are the partial logs. Due to the content limit, I cannot post the entire logs. AUVPAggregate.cpp:1000 client-side input and output formats do not match (err=-10875) AUVPAggregate.cpp:1036 err=-10875 AVAEInternal.h:109 [AVAudioEngineGraph.mm:1344:Initialize: (err = PerformCommand(*outputNode, kAUInitialize, NULL, 0)): error -10875 AggregateDevice.mm:329 Failed expectation of constructed aggregate (312): mInput.streamChannelCounts == inputStreamChannelCounts AggregateDevice.mm:331 Failed expectation of constructed aggregate (312): mInput.totalChannelCount == std::accumulate(inputStreamChannelCounts.begin(), inputStreamChannelCounts.end(), 0U) AggregateDevice.mm:182 error fetching default pair AggregateDevice.mm:329 Failed expectation of constructed aggregate (336): mInput.streamChannelCounts == inputStreamChannelCounts AggregateDevice.mm:331 Failed expectation of constructed aggregate (336): mInput.totalChannelCount == std::accumulate(inputStreamChannelCounts.begin(), inputStreamChannelCounts.end(), 0U) AUHAL.cpp:1782 ca_verify_noerr: [AudioDeviceSetProperty(mDeviceID, NULL, 0, isInput, kAudioDevicePropertyIOProcStreamUsage, theSize, theStreamUsage), 560227702] AudioHardware-mac-imp.cpp:3484 AudioDeviceSetProperty: no device with given ID AUHAL.cpp:1782 ca_verify_noerr: [AudioDeviceSetProperty(mDeviceID, NULL, 0, isInput, kAudioDevicePropertyIOProcStreamUsage, theSize, theStreamUsage), 560227702] AggregateDevice.mm:182 error fetching default pair AggregateDevice.mm:329 Failed expectation of constructed aggregate (348): mInput.streamChannelCounts == inputStreamChannelCounts AggregateDevice.mm:331 Failed expectation of constructed aggregate (348): mInput.totalChannelCount == std::accumulate(inputStreamChannelCounts.begin(), inputStreamChannelCounts.end(), 0U) Is it possible to use voice processing with different input/output devices? If yes, are there any specific configurations required to handle mismatched devices? How can we resolve channel count mismatch errors during aggregate device construction? Are there settings or API adjustments to enforce compatibility between input/output devices? Are there any workarounds or alternative approaches to achieve voice processing functionality with mismatched devices? For instance, can we force an intermediate channel configuration or downmix input/output formats?

I have a simple AVAudioEngine graph as follows: AVAudioPlayerNode -> AVAudioUnitEQ -> AVAudioUnitTimePitch -> AVAudioUnitReverb -> Main mixer node of AVAudioEngine. I noticed that whenever I have AVAudioUnitTimePitch or AVAudioUnitVarispeed in the graph, I noticed a very distinct crackling/popping sound in my Airpods Pro 2 when starting up the engine and playing the AVAudioPlayerNode and unable to find the reason why this is happening. When I remove the node, the crackling completely goes away. How do I fix this problem since i need the user to be able to control the pitch and rate of the audio during playback. import AVKit @Observable @MainActor class AudioEngineManager { nonisolated private let engine = AVAudioEngine() private let playerNode = AVAudioPlayerNode() private let reverb = AVAudioUnitReverb() private let pitch = AVAudioUnitTimePitch() private let eq = AVAudioUnitEQ(numberOfBands: 10) private var audioFile: AVAudioFile? private var fadePlayPauseTask: Task<Void, Error>? private var playPauseCurrentFadeTime: Double = 0 init() { setupAudioEngine() } private func setupAudioEngine() { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "Song name goes here", withExtension: "mp3") else { print("Audio file not found") return } do { audioFile = try AVAudioFile(forReading: url) } catch { print("Failed to load audio file: \(error)") return } reverb.loadFactoryPreset(.mediumHall) reverb.wetDryMix = 50 pitch.pitch = 0 // Increase pitch by 500 cents (5 semitones) engine.attach(playerNode) engine.attach(pitch) engine.attach(reverb) engine.attach(eq) // Connect: player -> pitch -> reverb -> output engine.connect(playerNode, to: eq, format: audioFile?.processingFormat) engine.connect(eq, to: pitch, format: audioFile?.processingFormat) engine.connect(pitch, to: reverb, format: audioFile?.processingFormat) engine.connect(reverb, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: audioFile?.processingFormat) } func prepare() { guard let audioFile else { return } playerNode.scheduleFile(audioFile, at: nil) } func play() { DispatchQueue.global().async { [weak self] in guard let self else { return } engine.prepare() try? engine.start() DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in guard let self else { return } playerNode.play() fadePlayPauseTask?.cancel() playPauseCurrentFadeTime = 0 fadePlayPauseTask = Task { [weak self] in guard let self else { return } while true { let volume = updateVolume(for: playPauseCurrentFadeTime / 0.1, rising: true) // Ramp up volume until 1 is reached if volume >= 1 { break } engine.mainMixerNode.outputVolume = volume try await Task.sleep(for: .milliseconds(10)) playPauseCurrentFadeTime += 0.01 } engine.mainMixerNode.outputVolume = 1 } } } } func pause() { fadePlayPauseTask?.cancel() playPauseCurrentFadeTime = 0 fadePlayPauseTask = Task { [weak self] in guard let self else { return } while true { let volume = updateVolume(for: playPauseCurrentFadeTime / 0.1, rising: false) // Ramp down volume until 0 is reached if volume <= 0 { break } engine.mainMixerNode.outputVolume = volume try await Task.sleep(for: .milliseconds(10)) playPauseCurrentFadeTime += 0.01 } engine.mainMixerNode.outputVolume = 0 playerNode.pause() // Shut down engine once ramp down completes DispatchQueue.global().async { [weak self] in guard let self else { return } engine.pause() } } } private func updateVolume(for x: Double, rising: Bool) -> Float { if rising { // Fade in return Float(pow(x, 2) * (3.0 - 2.0 * (x))) } else { // Fade out return Float(1 - (pow(x, 2) * (3.0 - 2.0 * (x)))) } } func setPitch(_ value: Float) { pitch.pitch = value } func setReverbMix(_ value: Float) { reverb.wetDryMix = value } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var audioManager = AudioEngineManager() @State private var pitch: Float = 0 @State private var reverb: Float = 0 var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("🎵 Audio Player with Reverb & Pitch") .font(.title2) HStack { Button("Prepare") { audioManager.prepare() } Button("Play") { audioManager.play() } .padding() .background(Color.green) .foregroundColor(.white) .cornerRadius(10) Button("Pause") { audioManager.pause() } .padding() .background(Color.red) .foregroundColor(.white) .cornerRadius(10) } VStack { Text("Pitch: \(Int(pitch)) cents") Slider(value: $pitch, in: -2400...2400, step: 100) { _ in audioManager.setPitch(pitch) } } VStack { Text("Reverb Mix: \(Int(reverb))%") Slider(value: $reverb, in: 0...100, step: 1) { _ in audioManager.setReverbMix(reverb) } } } .padding() } }

Since many users like me use Apple Music on Android, the app is almost as feature-rich as iOS. It would be fantastic if the developers could add the new iOS 26 features to the Android app, along with a minor UI change. I know it’s challenging to implement liquid glass on Android hardware or design, but features like auto-mix, pronunciation, and translation could be added. kindly consider this request !!!!

Sequoia 15.4.1 (24E263) XCode: 16.3 (16E140) Logic Pro: 11.2.1 I’ve been developing a complex audio unit for Mac OS that works perfectly well in its own bespoke host app and is now well into its beta testing stage. It did take some effort to get it to work well in Logic Pro however and all was fine and working well until: The AU part is an empty app extension with a framework containing its code. The framework contains Swift code for the UI and C code for the DSP parts. When the framework is compiled using the Swift 5 compiler the AU will run in Logic with no problems. (I should also mention that AU passes the most strict auval tests). But… when the framework is compiled with Swift 6 Logic Pro cannot load it. Logic displays a message saying the audio unit could not be loaded and to contact the developer. My own host app loads the AU perfectly well with the Swift 6 version, so I know there’s nothing wrong with the audio unit. I cannot find any differences in any of the built output files except, of course, the actual binary code in the framework. I’ve worked for hours on this and cannot find a solution other than to build the framework in Swift 5. (I worked hard to get all the async code updated and working with Swift 6! so I feel a little cheated!) What is happening? Is this a bug in Logic? Is this a bug in Swift 6 compiler/linker? I’m at the Duh! hands in the air, tearing out hair stage! ( once again!)

Hi, On macOS I used to open MP3 and MP4 files with ExtAudioFile. For a few years it doesn't work anymore. So I decided to try different macOS API using the AudioFileID of AudioToolbox framework. I decided to write a test: https://gist.github.com/joelkraehemann/7f5b241b52ca38c3a765c138fb647588 It fails right here: AudioFileOpenWithCallbacks() By telling OSStatus error 1954115647, which means kAudioFileUnsupportedFileTypeError. The filename was set to an MP4 file: ~/Music/test.mp4 Howto fix this? regards, Joël

Hi everyone, I'm running into an issue with AVAudioRecorder when handling interruptions such as phone calls or alarms. Problem: When the app is recording audio and an interruption occurs: I handle the interruption with audioRecorder?.pause() inside AVAudioSession.interruptionNotification (on .began). On .ended, I check for .shouldResume and call audioRecorder?.record() again. The recorder resumes successfully, but only the audio recorded after the interruption is saved. The audio recorded before the interruption is lost, even though I'm using the same file URL and not recreating the recorder. Repro: Start a recording with AVAudioRecorder Simulate a system interruption (e.g., incoming call) Resume recording after the interruption Stop and inspect the output audio file Expected: Full audio (before and after interruption) should be saved. Actual: Only the audio after interruption is saved; the earlier part is missing Notes: According to the documentation, calling .record() after .pause() should resume recording into the same file. I confirmed that the file URL does not change, and I do not recreate the recorder instance. No error is thrown by the system during this process. This behavior happens consistently when the app is interrupted and resumed. Question: Is this a known issue? Is there a recommended workaround for preserving the full recording when interruptions happen? Thanks in advance!

I am building an app where I am using AudioRecordingIntent to start audio recording from shortcuts / Action button etc. Whenever I set that up, I notice that I get an error - Unknown NSError Live Activity start failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. Target is not foreground I explicitly try to start the live activity and then start the audio recording and that's when I see this error. How can I make this work? I am unable to find any examples.

I have integrated the ShazamKit SDK into my iOS app and would like to implement the same functionality in my Android app. My question is: Can I use the Android version of the ShazamKit SDK for commercial purposes? After extensive research, I could not find any official information regarding the license of the Android version of the ShazamKit SDK. Could you please provide a formal license statement?

New to iOS development and I've been trying to make heads or tails of the documentation. I know there is a difference between the data fields returned from songs from the user library and from the category, but whenever I search on the apple site I can't find a list of each. For example, Im trying to get the releaseDate of a song in my library, but it seems I'll have to cross-query either the catalog entry for the using song.catalogID or the song.irsc but when I try to use them I can't find a cross reference between the two. I'm totally turned around. Also trying to determine if a song in my library has been favorited or not? isFavorited (or something similar) doesn't seem to be a thing. Using this code and trying to find a way to display a solid star if the song has been favorited or an empty one if it's not. Seems like a basic request but I can't find anything on how to do it. I've searched docs, googled, tried. Does apple want us to query the user's Favorited Songs playlist or something? How do I know which playlist that is? I know isFavorited isn't a thing, just using it here so you can see what my intension is: HStack(spacing: 10) { Image(systemName: song.isFavorited ? "star.fill" : "star") .foregroundColor(song.isFavorited ? .yellow : .gray) Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") }
