I am recording video on iOS using ReplayKit and found that after copying data in the processSampleBuffer:withType: callback using memcpy, the data changes. This occurs particularly frequently when the screen content changes rapidly, making it look like the frames are overlapping. I found that the values starting from byte 672 in the video data on my device often change. Here is the test demo: - (void)processSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer withType:(RPSampleBufferType)sampleBufferType { switch (sampleBufferType) { case RPSampleBufferTypeVideo: { CVPixelBufferRef pixelBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer); CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(pixelBuffer, kCVPixelBufferLock_ReadOnly); int ret = 0; uint8_t *oYData = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddressOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 0); size_t oYSize = CVPixelBufferGetHeightOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 0) * CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRowOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 0); uint8_t *oUVData = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddressOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 1); size_t oUVSize = CVPixelBufferGetHeightOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 1) * CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRowOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 1); if (oYSize <= 672) { return; } uint8_t tempValue = oYData[672]; uint8_t *tYData = malloc(oYSize); memcpy(tYData, oYData, oYSize); if (tYData[672] != oYData[672]) { NSLog(@"$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:%d o:%d temp:%d", tYData[672], oYData[672], tempValue); } free(tYData); CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(pixelBuffer, kCVPixelBufferLock_ReadOnly); break; } default: { break; } } } Output: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:110 o:124 temp:110 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:111 o:133 temp:111 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:124 o:138 temp:124 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:133 o:144 temp:133 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:138 o:151 temp:138 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:144 o:156 temp:144 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:151 o:135 temp:151 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:156 o:78 temp:156 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:135 o:76 temp:135 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:78 o:77 temp:78 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:76 o:80 temp:76 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:77 o:80 temp:77 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:80 o:79 temp:80 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:79 o:80 temp:79

Hello! I'm trying to create a headphone safety prototype to give warnings if I listen to music too loud, but inputing my headphone's impedance, sensitivity, and wanted SPL level, and all I need is just the data on the amount of power each percentage of volume outputs(I'm assuming the MacBook Pro has 1-100% volume scale). If anyone has this info, or can direct me to someone who has this info, that would be great! Also do I contact apple support for things like this? I'm not too sure... Thanks!!

I’m using AVFoundation in my iPhone application to encode a video in MP4 format with H.264, which can then be shared or exported. Do I need to pay a license for using the H.264 format to MPEG LA? Or are these fees already covered by Apple? I’ve read articles suggesting that Apple covers these fees when encoding is done through its native APIs (or via its dedicated encoding hardware components), but I haven’t found any explicit confirmation of this point in the various documentation or contracts... Did I miss something?

I am building an app for MacOS and I am trying to implement the code to add songs to a library playlist (which is added below). The issue I am having is that if I use Music Kit to load a users library playlists, the ID for the playlist (which is just a string of numbers) does not work with the Add tracks to a Library Playlist endpoint of Apple Music API. If I retrieve the playlists from the Apple Music API and use that playlist ID (which is different than the id I get from MusicKit) my code works fine and adds the song to the playlist. The problem is that when getting a users library playlists from Apple Music API is that it does not give me all of the library playlists that I get when using Music Kit and it also does not give me Artwork for playlists that have the collage of album covers, so I would prefer to use Music Kit to get the playlists. I have also tested trying to retrieve a single playlist using the Apple Music API with the playlist Id from Music Kit and it does not work. I get the error that the resource cannot be found. Since this is a macOs app I cannot use MusicKit to add songs to library playlists. Does anyone know a way to resolve this? Or a possible workaround? Ideally I want to use MusicKit to get the library playlists and have some way to use the playlist Id and add songs to that playlist. Below is my code for adding a song to a playlist using the Apple Music API, which works correctly only if I originally get the library playlist's id value from a playlist retrieved from the Apple Music API. Also, does anyone know why the playlist Id's are not universal and are different when using Music Kit and Apple Music API? For songs and tracks it does not seem to matter if I use music kit or Apple Music API, the Id's are in the correct format for Apple Music API to use and work with my code. Thanks everyone for any and all help! func addToPlaylist(songs: [Track], playlist: Playlist, alert: Binding<AlertItem?>) async { let tracks = AppleMusicPlaylistPostRequestBody(data: songs.compactMap { AppleMusicPlaylistPostRequestItem(id: $0.id.rawValue, type: "songs") // or "library-songs" }) let playlistID = playlist.id // Build the request URL for adding a song to a playlist guard let url = URL(string: "https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/playlists/\(playlistID)/tracks") else { alert.wrappedValue = AlertItem(title: "Error", message: "Invalid URL for the playlist.") return } // Authorization Header guard let musicUserToken = try? await MusicUserTokenProvider().getUserMusicToken() else { alert.wrappedValue = AlertItem(title: "Error", message: "Unable to retrieve Music User Token.") return } do { var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "POST" request.setValue("Bearer \(musicUserToken)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization") request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") let encoder = JSONEncoder() let data = try encoder.encode(tracks) request.httpBody = data let musicRequest = MusicDataRequest(urlRequest: request) let musicRequestResponse = try await musicRequest.response() // Check if the request was successful (status 201) if musicRequestResponse.urlResponse.statusCode == 201 { alert.wrappedValue = AlertItem(title: "Success", message: "Song successfully added to the playlist.") } else { print("Status Code: \(musicRequestResponse.urlResponse.statusCode)") print("Response Data: \(String(data: musicRequestResponse.data, encoding: .utf8) ??

To get calibration data during video recording, I use AVCaptureDepthDataOutput together with AVCaptureVideoDataOutput, synchronized via AVCaptureDataOutputSynchronizer (using the dataOutputSynchronizer method of CameraController in the example). The issue is that AVCaptureDepthDataOutput can only be used with .builtInLiDARDepthCamera, meaning it isn’t available for devices without LiDAR. Is it possible to obtain calibration data during video recording on devices without LiDAR, such as with .builtInWideAngleCamera? Can lensDistortionLookupTable and lensDistortionCenter be used to undistort the sampleBuffer I receive from AVCaptureVideoDataOutput?

When is playbackBufferEmpty triggered? Why is this property YES observed from the observer method when returning to the foreground from the background even if the buffer is not empty?

Hello, we have HLS stream app and we use AVPlayer for HLS stream. We want to implement dynamic resulotion feature as user's selection. For example, if user want to watch only 1080p user has to watch only 1080p but we have tried to implement "preferredMaximumResolution" and "preferredPeakBitRate" parameters and but AVPlayer does not force it which means that setting preferredMaximumResolution= CGSize(width: 1920, height: 1080) player does not only force to play 1080p profile, player drops resulotion to 720p but we do not want 720p stream if user selected 1080p resulotion. Is there any method to force it even if stream stalls? Thank you in advance

I extracted the gain map info from an image using let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "IMG_1181", withExtension: "HEIC") let source = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url! as CFURL, nil) let portraitData = CGImageSourceCopyAuxiliaryDataInfoAtIndex(source!, 0, kCGImageAuxiliaryDataTypeHDRGainMap) as! [AnyHashable : Any] let metaData = portraitData[kCGImageAuxiliaryDataInfoMetadata] as! CGImageMetadata Then I printed all the metadata tags func printMetadataProperties(from metadata: CGImageMetadata) { guard let tags = CGImageMetadataCopyTags(metadata) as? [CGImageMetadataTag] else { return } for tag in tags { if let prefix = CGImageMetadataTagCopyPrefix(tag) as String?, let namespace = CGImageMetadataTagCopyNamespace(tag) as String?, let key = CGImageMetadataTagCopyName(tag) as String?, let value = CGImageMetadataTagCopyValue(tag){ print("Namespace: \(namespace), Key: \(key), Prefix: \(prefix), value: \(value)") } else { } } } //Namespace: http://ns.apple.com/ImageIO/1.0/, Key: hasXMP, Prefix: iio, value: True //Namespace: http://ns.apple.com/HDRGainMap/1.0/, Key: HDRGainMapVersion, Prefix: HDRGainMap, value: 131072 //Namespace: http://ns.apple.com/HDRGainMap/1.0/, Key: HDRGainMapHeadroom, Prefix: HDRGainMap, value: 3.586325 I want to create a new CGImageMetadata and tags. But when it comes to the HDR tags. It always fails to add to metadata. let tag = CGImageMetadataTagCreate( "http://ns.apple.com/HDRGainMap/1.0/" as CFString, "HDRGainMap" as CFString, "HDRGainMapHeadroom" as CFString, .default, 3.56 as CFNumber ) let path = "\(HDRGainMap):\(HDRGainMapHeadroom)" as CFString let success = CGImageMetadataSetTagWithPath(metadata, nil, path, tag)// always false The hasXMP works fine. Is HDR a private dict for Apple?

There are significant crash reports coming from iOS 18 users regarding AVKit framework that starts from this line [AVPlayerController _observeValueForKeyPath:oldValue:newValue:] which seems to be coming from iOS internal SDK. There are 2 kinds of crash we found: UI modification on background thread From the stack trace it seems like when AVPictureInPictureController is being deallocated and its view is being removed from superview somehow the code is being executed in background thread because there is this line there _AssertAutoLayoutOnAllowedThreadsOnly highlighted before the crash. But I’ve checked our code that plays around AVPictureInPictureController, in the locations where we would deallocate the object it will always be called on main thread which are insideviewDidLoad and deinit inside UIViewController class. From the log, it seems like the crash happened when user try to open another content when PIP player is active resulting in the current PIP instance will be replaced with a new one. My suspect is the observation logic inside AVPlayerController could be the hint to this issue, probably something broken over there since this issue happened across our app versions on iOS 18 users only. Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue yet but one of my colleagues reproduced it once but haven’t been able to do it again since. The reports keep raising each day up to 1.3k events in the last 30 days now. Over release object This one has lower reports than the first one but I decided to include it since it might have relevant information regarding the first crash since the starting stack trace is similar. The crash timing seems to be similar to the first one, where we deallocate existing AVPictureInPictureController and later replace it with a new one and also found only in iOS 18 users which also refers to [AVPlayerController _observeValueForKeyPath:oldValue:newValue:]. I also was unable to reproduce this issue so far. Oh, and both of the issues happened on both iPhone and iPad. We’d appreciate any advice on what we can do to avoid this in the future and probably any hint on why it could happened. I have reported this issue with bug number: FB15620734 I also attached one sample crash report for each of the crashes here. non ui thread access.crash over release.crash

Hi. I want to read ADPCM encoded audio data, coming from an external device to my Mac via serial port (/dev/cu.usbserial-0001) as 256 byte chunks, and feed it into an audio player. So far I am using Swift and SwiftSerial (GitHub - mredig/SwiftSerial: A Swift Linux and Mac library for reading and writing to serial ports. 3) to get the data via serialPort.asyncBytes() into a AsyncStream but I am struggling to understand how to feed the stream to a AVAudioPlayer or similar. I am new to Swift and macOS audio development so any help to get me on the right track is greatly appreciated. Thx

Hello, I will use AVFoundation's AVAssetWriter and AVPlayer for H.264 and H.265 encoding and decoding in my app. It will be used commercially, so I would like to know if I need to pay any licensing fees for H.264 and H.265 encoding and decoding.

I have an app that allows you to edit your photos. To preserve HDR, I edit both the SDR image and gain map image, like so: let sdrImage = CIImage(data: data, options: [.applyOrientationProperty: true]) let gainMapImage = CIImage(data: data, options: [.applyOrientationProperty: true, .auxiliaryHDRGainMap: true]) // edit them... try CIContext().writeHEIFRepresentation(of: sdrImage, to: url, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: colorSpace, options: [.hdrGainMapImage: gainMapImage]) I also support editing the still photo in Live Photos. To do this you create a PHLivePhotoEditingContext, set the frameProcessor block which gives you a CIImage that I edit when the frame.type is .photo, then you create a PHContentEditingOutput and call saveLivePhoto. I’m not seeing any way to preserve HDR here. Interestingly the frame processor is called twice with .photo frame.type, but I don’t see any difference between these images. How can I edit a gain map image to preserve HDR in the still photo of a Live Photo?

My iphone 15 plus suddenly turns black and a losing icon keeps spinning. Then it turns off and I can use it again, it is only for a few seconds. I have updated to iOS 18.1 beta, could this be the issue. Is my phone broken? I have tried restarting my phone

I've requested the authentication in my main app. PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite) { status in } Add the privacy description in both the main app and the extension. But No matter the device is locked or unlocked. When I call let fetchResult = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: .image, options: nil) let count = fetchResult.count the count is always zero, even after a new photo is saved to the album in the same session.

I have an app that edits photos in your library. When I call try CIContext().writeHEIFRepresentation(of: editedImage, to: fileURL, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: originalImage.colorSpace!) The following is logged to the console: writeImageAtIndex:1012: ⭕️ ERROR: 'App' is trying to save an opaque image (5712x4284) with 'AlphaLast'. This would unnecessarily increase the file size and will double (!!!) the required memory when decoding the image --> ignoring alpha. What does that mean and how can I resolve it? Xcode Version 16.0 (16A242d) iOS 18.1 (22B82)

Hello, I have a command line application that uses iTunesLibrary to "save" the state of what I have listened to. I have it run every night via a LaunchAgent. You can see the source here: https://github.com/bolsinga/itunes_json Prior to Sequoia it would run nightly. I'd just have to grant it access to the Music library once, and it would be fine thereafter. However with Sequoia it requires UI interaction to grant it access every time. This makes it no longer run unattended overnight, defeating its purpose. I have the console logs of when this happens. You can see it in my issue tracking it here: https://github.com/bolsinga/itunes_json/issues/410 One thing that makes me wonder is that it is a command line application, not a bundle. How do I make a command line application get access to MusicKit / iTunesLibrary, and keep it thereafter? I'd like to get my pre-Sequoia behavior back. I've filed FB15592660 too. I've granted it access to run in the background, as well as access to my Music library (please see attached screenshots).

Hello. We are trying to get audio volume from microphone. We have 2 questions. 1. Can anyone tell me about AVAudioEngine.InputNode.volume? AVAudioEngine.InputNode.volume Return 0 in the silence, Return float type value within 1.0 depending on the volume are expected work, but it looks 1.0 (default value) is returned at any time. Which case does it return 0.5 or 0? Sample code is below. Microphone works correctly. // instance member private var engine: AVAudioEngine! private var node: AVAudioInputNode! // start method self.engine = .init() self.node = engine.inputNode engine.prepare() try! engine.start() // volume getter print(\(self.node.volume)) 2. What is the best practice to get audio volume from microphone? Requirements are: Without AVAudioRecorder. We use it for streaming audio. it should withstand high frequency access. Testing info device: iPhone XR OS version: iOS 18 Best Regards.

ColorSync throughout the system interprets the Rec. ITU-R BT.709-5 color profile differently in macOS 15 than it did on macOS 14 leading to severe color differences. This is breaking/problem-causing color change. Here's a comparison of one way the results can appear different. Steps to Reproduce Open this image above (named here as sRGB_Bars.png) in ColorSync Utility. (This should be an sRGB profiled image if the forums don't mess with that.) With Digital Color Meter open and set to "Display in sRGB" [0-255] you can see the gray bars progress left-to-right as 0, 23, 46, 69, 92, 115, etc... ] Those are the correct reference values. At the bottom of the window in ColorSync use [Match to Profile] [Display -> Rec. ITU-R BT.709-5], then click the Apply Button. You can verify the image now uses the Rec 709 profile with the (i) Get Info button in the toolbar. Use "Save As…" to save the image with a different name. **) Do the steps above on macOS 14 and macOS 15 to create two images. Rec709_CreatedOnMacOS14, and Rec709_CreatedOnMacOS15. **) Compare the two images on BOTH operating system versions, and you'll see they are significantly different from each other. Rec709_CreatedOnMacOS14.png when viewed on macOS 15 has the gray values of: [0, 1, 18, 43, 67, ...] Rec709_CreatedOnMacOS14.png when viewed on macOS 15 has the gray values of: [0, 51, 72, 94, 115, ... ] These are MASSIVE differences. Significance This is not just a problem that affects ColorSync Utility or Preview, etc. This same gamma interpretation difference is affecting the Core Video, Core Image, Video Toolbox, etc pipelines as well. That gets complicated to talk about, and this is example is the simplest I can boil it down to. Conclusion Significant bug? What's going on?
