When in Final Cut Pro/Logic/Compressor/Motion, the command set is set to German, there is no way to set it to English.

My app occasionally went completely silent, but I heard it briefly when I used the buttons to adjust the volume Can someone help me, please

I have the AVCam sample working in Xcode 16, but I can not seem to find how to have is record ONLY in landscape mode. It seems to only run in portrait. Can someone give me a hint as to how to control this?

After upgrading to iOS 18 CarPlay with 2023 Lexus and iPhone 15 Pro Max shows multiple issues: • speakers reduced to Mono sound (going back to normal after some minutes and then reducing again) • no speaker sound at all • touching / moving phone while driving resulting in “on and off” sound No Reboot / Shutdown helps No Cable connection works @Apple: do you test your software professionally or is this outsourced to the community? Doesn’t look at all like a professional approach? Please solve this dangerous (traffic!) and annoying topic ASAP! Thanks - Torsten

I am working on a macOS app that uses AVFoundation to record the screen. During a recording if I make a window full screen, AVFoundation stops capturing screen frames (or does it at a very slow rate). In my logs I get the following error: Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11844 note that I have had instances where I could not reproduce the error but they were rare. The screen recording sometimes resumes normally if I switch desktops or minimize the full screen window. Did anyone ever run across a similar issue or knows how to fix it ?

Hello, I used following technical note to develop app that record mov file with SMPTE timecode. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2310/_index.html As result, a timecode track is present within .mov file (other tracks are audio and video) Unfortunately, QuickTime Player doesn't display timecode information. Analyser tools like mediainfo or online service as https://media-analyzer.pro/app show that timecode track has null duration (and so no "time code of last frame" example n° of TC track : Other ID : 3 Type : Time code Format : QuickTime TC Frame rate : 60.000 FPS Time code of first frame : 17:39:59:00 Time code, stripped : Yes Title : Core Media Time Code Encoded date : 2024-09-10 15:39:46 UTC Tagged date : 2024-09-10 15:39:59 UTC example 2 of Timecode track : 0000569562Quicktime Timecode #0 00007f6b8a'trak' Track atom #1 00007f6b92'tkhd' Track header atom #2 size 92 (0x5C) type 'tkhd' (hex 74 6B 68 64) version 0 flags 15 (0xF) creation_time 0xE30618C2, '2024-09-10 15:39:46' modification_time 0xE30618CF, '2024-09-10 15:39:59' track_ID 3 reserved 0 duration 0 reserved [0, 0] In each case, duration is considered as null even if the record's duration is more than 20s. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Use AVAssetWriter for video and audio. Create AVAssetWrite for timecode and associate it with video track. Just before stopping record, a sample buffer containing SMPTE is generated and added. All track are marked as finished before stopping the record with finishWritingWithCompletionHandler.

Hello all, This is my first post on the developer forums. I am developing an app that records the screen of my app, using AVAssetWriter and RPScreenRecorder startCapture. Everything is working as it should on most cases. There are some seemingly random times where the file generated is of some kb and it is corrupted. There seems to be no pattern on what the device is or the iOS version is. It can happen on various phones and iOS versions. The steps I have followed in order to create the file are: configuring the AssetWritter videoAssetWriter = try? AVAssetWriter(outputURL: url!, fileType: AVFileType.mp4) let size = UIScreen.main.bounds.size let width = (Int(size.width / 4)) * 4 let height = (Int(size.height / 4)) * 4 let videoOutputSettings: Dictionary<String, Any> = [ AVVideoCodecKey : AVVideoCodecType.h264, AVVideoWidthKey : width, AVVideoHeightKey : height ] videoInput = AVAssetWriterInput(mediaType: AVMediaType.video, outputSettings: videoOutputSettings) videoInput?.expectsMediaDataInRealTime = true guard let videoInput = videoInput else { return } if videoAssetWriter?.canAdd(videoInput) ?? false { videoAssetWriter?.add(videoInput) } let audioInputsettings = [ AVFormatIDKey: Int(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC), AVSampleRateKey: 12000, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 1, AVEncoderAudioQualityKey: AVAudioQuality.high.rawValue ] audioInput = AVAssetWriterInput(mediaType: .audio, outputSettings: audioInputsettings) audioInput?.expectsMediaDataInRealTime = true guard let audioInput = audioInput else { return } if videoAssetWriter?.canAdd(audioInput) ?? false { videoAssetWriter?.add(audioInput) } The urlForVideo returns the URL to the documentDirectory, after appending and creating the folders needed. This part seems to be working as it should as the directories are created and the video file exists on them. Start the recording if RPScreenRecorder.shared().isRecording { return } RPScreenRecorder.shared().startCapture(handler: { [weak self] sample, bufferType, error in if let error = error { onError?(error.localizedDescription) } else { if (!RPScreenRecorder.shared().isMicrophoneEnabled) { RPScreenRecorder.shared().stopCapture { error in if let error = error { return } } onError?("Microphone was not enabled") } else { succesCompletion?() succesCompletion = nil self?.processSampleBuffer(sample, with: bufferType) } } }) { error in if let error = error { onError?(error.localizedDescription) } } Process the sampleBuffers guard CMSampleBufferDataIsReady(sampleBuffer) else { return } DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in switch sampleBufferType { case .video: self?.handleVideoBaffer(sampleBuffer) case .audioMic: self?.add(sample: sampleBuffer, to: self?.audioInput) self?.audioInput) default: break } } // The add function from above fileprivate func add(sample: CMSampleBuffer, to writerInput: AVAssetWriterInput?) { if writerInput?.isReadyForMoreMediaData ?? false { writerInput?.append(sample) } // The handleVideoBaffer function from above fileprivate func handleVideoBaffer(_ sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer) { if self.videoAssetWriter?.status == AVAssetWriter.Status.unknown { self.videoAssetWriter?.startWriting() self.videoAssetWriter?.startSession(atSourceTime: CMSampleBufferGetPresentationTimeStamp(sampleBuffer)) } else { if (self.videoInput?.isReadyForMoreMediaData) ?? false { if self.videoAssetWriter?.status == AVAssetWriter.Status.writing { self.videoInput?.append(sampleBuffer) } } } } } Finally the stop recording func stopRecording(completion: @escaping (URL?, URL?, Error?) -> Void) { RPScreenRecorder.shared().stopCapture { error in if let error = error { completion(nil, nil, error) return } self.finish { videoURL, _ in completion(videoURL, nil, nil) } } } // The finish function mentioned above fileprivate func finish(completion: @escaping (URL?, URL?) -> Void) { let dispatchGroup = DispatchGroup() dispatchGroup.enter() finishRecordVideo { dispatchGroup.leave() } dispatchGroup.notify(queue: .main) { print("Finish with url:\(String(describing: self.urlForVideo()))") completion(self.urlForVideo(), nil) } } // The finishRecordVideo mentioned above fileprivate func finishRecordVideo(completion: @escaping ()-> Void) { videoInput?.markAsFinished() audioInput?.markAsFinished() videoAssetWriter?.finishWriting { if let writer = self.videoAssetWriter { if writer.status == .completed { completion() } else if writer.status == .failed { // Print the error to find out what went wrong if let error = writer.error { print("Video asset writing failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription). Url: \(writer.outputURL.path)") } else { print("Video asset writing failed, but no error description available.") } completion() }else { completion() } } } } What could it be the reason of the corrupted files generated? This issue has never happened to my devices so there is no way to debug using xcode. Also there are no errors popping out on the logs. Can you spot any issues on the code that can create this kind of issue? Do you have any suggestions on the problem at hand? Thanks

I'm experiencing an issue with QuickLook in iOS 18 where.reality files with audio playback are affected. When I open a.reality file that includes audio, the audio track plays twice: once from the moment the file is opened, and again from the start of the animation. This results in a duplicate audio playback. I've tested this issue on multiple devices running iOS 16, 17, and 18, and the problem only occurs on iOS 18. I've tried restarting the devices and checking for any software updates, but the issue persists. Steps to reproduce: Open a.reality file with audio playback in QuickLook on an iOS 18 device. Observe the audio playback. Expected result: The audio track should play only once, from the start of the animation. Actual result: The audio track plays twice, once from the moment the file is opened and again from the start of the animation. Device and iOS version: I've tested this issue on iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 18, iPhone 13 running iOS 16 and iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 17,

I upgraded my IOS to 18 in both of my phones and none allowm e to rate my music with the stars I want to rate them. I disable the option, an try it, then I disable it and re-enable it and nothing... Something may be wrong with the IOS 18 version

Hello, I am trying to create an MP4 by obtaining the content from another source MP4. The source MP4 would be read with AVAssetReader and the output written with AVAssetWriter. I wanted to do partial tests: first, I placed only the video in the output MP4. Now, I am trying to place only the audio in the output MP4. I even managed to get the output MP4 to have the same length (in seconds) as the source MP4. But the problem is simple: the output MP4 is simply silent. Naturally, I want it to have audio. Below are two excerpts from the source code. Reading and writing. Note: The variable videoURL is from the class where the function writeVideo() is located. Its assignment happens in another scope, already debugged. Snippet: let semaphore = DispatchSemaphore(value: 0) func writeVideo() { var audioReaderBuffers = [CMSampleBuffer]() // File directory url = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0].appendingPathComponent("*****/output.mp4") guard let url = url else { return } try FileManager.default.createDirectory(at: url.deletingLastPathComponent(), withIntermediateDirectories: true) if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path()) { try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: url) } if let videoURL = videoURL { let videoAsset = AVAsset(url: videoURL) Task { let audioTrack = try await videoAsset.loadTracks(withMediaType: .audio).first! let reader = try AVAssetReader(asset: videoAsset) let audioSettings = [ AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatLinearPCM, AVSampleRateKey: 44100, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 2 ] as [String : Any] let audioOutputTest = try await audioTrack.getAudioSettings() let readerAudioOutput = AVAssetReaderTrackOutput(track: audioTrack, outputSettings: audioSettings) reader.add(readerAudioOutput) reader.startReading() while let sampleBuffer = readerAudioOutput.copyNextSampleBuffer() { audioReaderBuffers.append(sampleBuffer) } semaphore.signal() } } semaphore.wait() let audioInput = createAudioInput(sampleBuffer: audioReaderBuffers[0]) let assetWriter = try AVAssetWriter(outputURL: url, fileType: .mp4) assetWriter.add(audioInput) assetWriter.startWriting() assetWriter.startSession(atSourceTime: .zero) for (index, buffer) in audioReaderBuffers.enumerated() { while !audioInput.isReadyForMoreMediaData { usleep(1000) } audioInput.append(buffer) } assetWriter.finishWriting { switch assetWriter.status { case .completed: print("Operation completed successfully: \(url.absoluteString)") case .failed: if let error = assetWriter.error { print("Error description: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("Error not found.") } default: print("Error not found.") } } } Below is the createAudioInput method: func createAudioInput(sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer) -> AVAssetWriterInput { let audioSettings = [ AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC, AVSampleRateKey: 48000, AVEncoderBitRatePerChannelKey: 64000, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 1 ] as [String : Any] let audioInput = AVAssetWriterInput(mediaType: .audio, outputSettings: audioSettings, sourceFormatHint: sampleBuffer.formatDescription) audioInput.expectsMediaDataInRealTime = false return audioInput } I await your help, please.

tvOS 18 doesn't provide passthrough of multichannel audio for streaming apps offering content where it it promoted as available. This is true for devices for which the functionality existed before the 18.0 tvOS update. What's more, the 18.1 Public Beta did not provide a resolution for the issue. All streaming apps appear to be affected. Notably, Home Sharing does not appear to be affected, and continues to provide multichannel audio as it did before the 18.0 update.

How can it be that you still don't have the option to move photos into an album instead of just copying them? This is a bad joke, right? The entire Photos app is absolutely untidy and a nightmare for people who like order. I want car photos in the car folder. Vacation photos in the vacation folder without them being visible in the recent folder. Cant be so difficult???

I have an app that plays audio and the behaviour of it has changed in watchOS 11. I can no longer figure out how to play the audio through the headphones. To play audio I.. let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() try session.setCategory(.playback, mode: .default, policy: .longFormAudio, options: [] let activated = try await session.activate() if activated { // play audio } In previous versions, 'try await session.activate()` would bring up a route picker where the user could select their headphones. Now on watchOS 11 it just plays the audio out of the speaker. Maybe that's what some people want but if they do want it to play out of the headphones I can't see how I can give that option now? There's no AVRoutePickerView available on watchOS for selecting it. I've tried setting the category to .multiRoute instead of .playback and that does bring up the picker but selecting the speaker results in an error code and selecting the headphones results in it saying it cannot find my headphones (which shouldn't be the case since Apple Music on watchOS finds them). Tried overriding the output with try session.overrideOutputAudioPort(.speaker) but the compiler complains that speaker isn't available on watchOS, which is strange as if I understand correctly it's possible to play through the speaker now at least on some Apple Watches. So is this a bug or is there some way I've not found of playing audio through the headphones?

How does a third party developer go about supporting the new Enhanced Dialogue option for video apps in tvOS 18? If an app is using the standard AVPlayerViewController, I had assumed it would be a simple-ish matter of building against the tvOS 18 SDK but apparently not, the options don't appear, not even greyed out.

As you can see, the value shown in the AVCaptureSystemZoomSlider is not the same as the raw camera zoom factor. I tried to calculate this value, and it seems it's 0.8. (5-1)*0.8=4.2-1 in this image. It seems this factor only applies to the default wide-angle camera. And I can't get this value from anywhere. (It's not displayVideoZoomFactorMultiplier btw, I checked that.) What is it?

I'm developing an iOS app using DockKit to control a motorized stand. I've noticed that as the zoom factor of the AVCaptureDevice increases, the stand's movement becomes increasingly erratic up and down, almost like a pendulum motion. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to fix it. Here's a simplified version of my tracking logic: func trackObject(_ boundingBox: CGRect, _ dockAccessory: DockAccessory) async throws { guard let device = AVCaptureDevice.default(for: .video), let input = try? AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: device) else { fatalError("Camera not available") } let currentZoomFactor = device.videoZoomFactor let dimensions = device.activeFormat.formatDescription.dimensions let referenceDimensions = CGSize(width: CGFloat(dimensions.width), height: CGFloat(dimensions.height)) let intrinsics = calculateIntrinsics(for: device, currentZoom: Double(currentZoomFactor)) let deviceOrientation = UIDevice.current.orientation let cameraOrientation: DockAccessory.CameraOrientation = { switch deviceOrientation { case .landscapeLeft: return .landscapeLeft case .landscapeRight: return .landscapeRight case .portrait: return .portrait case .portraitUpsideDown: return .portraitUpsideDown default: return .unknown } }() let cameraInfo = DockAccessory.CameraInformation( captureDevice: input.device.deviceType, cameraPosition: input.device.position, orientation: cameraOrientation, cameraIntrinsics: useIntrinsics ? intrinsics : nil, referenceDimensions: referenceDimensions ) let observation = DockAccessory.Observation( identifier: 0, type: .object, rect: boundingBox ) let observations = [observation] try await dockAccessory.track(observations, cameraInformation: cameraInfo) } func calculateIntrinsics(for device: AVCaptureDevice, currentZoom: Double) -> matrix_float3x3 { let dimensions = CMVideoFormatDescriptionGetDimensions(device.activeFormat.formatDescription) let width = Float(dimensions.width) let height = Float(dimensions.height) let diagonalPixels = sqrt(width * width + height * height) let estimatedFocalLength = diagonalPixels * 0.8 let fx = Float(estimatedFocalLength) * Float(currentZoom) let fy = fx let cx = width / 2.0 let cy = height / 2.0 return matrix_float3x3( SIMD3<Float>(fx, 0, cx), SIMD3<Float>(0, fy, cy), SIMD3<Float>(0, 0, 1) ) } I'm calling this function regularly (10-30 times per second) with updated bounding box information. The erratic movement seems to worsen as the zoom factor increases. Questions: Why might increasing the zoom factor cause this erratic movement? I'm currently calculating camera intrinsics based on the current zoom factor. Is this approach correct, or should I be doing something differently? Are there any other factors I should consider when using DockKit with a variable zoom? Could the frequency of calls to trackRider (10-30 times per second) be contributing to the erratic movement? If so, what would be an optimal frequency? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've got a bunch of Audio Units I've been developing over the last few months - in Xcode 14 based on the Audio Unit template that ships in Xcode. The DSP heavy-lifting is all done in Rust libraries, which I build for Intel and Apple Silicon, merge using lipo and build XCFrameworks from. There are several of these - one with the DSP code, and several others used from the UI - a mix of SwiftUI and Cocoa. Getting the integration of Rust, Objective C, C++ and Swift working and automated took a few weeks (my first foray into C++ since the 1990s), but has been solid, reliable and working well - everything loads in Logic Pro and Garage Band and works. But now I'm attempting the (woefully underdocumented) process of making 13 audio unit projects able to be loaded in-process - which means moving all of the actual code into a Framework. And therein lies the problem: None of the xcframeworks are modular, which leads to the dreaded "Include of non-modular header inside framework module". Imported directly into the app extension project with "Allow Non-modular Includes in Framework Modules" works fine - but in a framework this seems to be verboten. So, the obvious solution would be to add a module map to each xcframework, and then, poof, they're modular. BUT... due to a peculiar limitation of Xcode's build system I've spent days searching for a workaround for, it is only possible to have ONE xcframework containing a module.modulemap file in any project. More than that and xcodebuild will try to clobber them with each other and the build will fail. And there appears to be NO WAY to name the file anything other than module.modulemap inside an xcframework and have it be detected. So I cannot modularize my frameworks, because there is more than one of them. How the heck does one work around this? A custom module map file somewhere (that the build should find and understand applies to four xcframeworks - how?)? Something else? I've seen one dreadful workaround - https://medium.com/@florentmorin/integrating-swift-framework-with-non-modular-libraries-d18098049e18 - given that I'm generating a lot of the C and Objective C code for the audio in Rust, I suppose I could write a tool that parses the header files and generates Objective C code that imports each framework and declares one method for every single Rust call. But it seems to me there has to be a correct way to do this without jumping through such hoops. Thoughts?

Hello, I seem to be having an issue assigning my Capture Extension an icon. It works fine using a system icon, for example: Image(systemName: "star") But it fails when I use my custom icon, such as: Image(uiImage: UIImage(named: "widget-icon")!) The "widget-icon" is located in both my Assets collection and the widget folder for good measure, and yet, my Widget always has a "?" icon. I am able to use "widget-icon" just fine for other Lock Screen widgets, but it is not working for the Camera Extension Widget. Any thoughts? Thank you for your help!

Calls to ExtAudioFileRead are throwing OSStatus 561145203 (AVAudioSessionErrorCodeResourceNotAvailable) on iOS and iPadOS 18 -- earlier versions of iOS have not exhibited this behavior. This is a longstanding code path that has seen a spike of these error codes since iOS 18's release. The following is also printed to the Xcode 16 console:
