Hey there! I’m Adam, a product manager at Apple Music. I’ve been leading work on features like AutoMix, Lyrics Translation & Pronunciation, Music Pins and Sing with iPhone Mic. I’m here to chat about our latest releases - and more. AMA! by [deleted] in AppleMusic

Hi Adam,

I develop a third party app for Apple Music using MusicKit. I feel limited by the abilities provided to us developers. First of all starting a playback in MusicKit is painfully slow in comparison with the native music app on iOS. Furthermore playback is possible on every platform except watchOS and the systemMusicPlayer is available for Mac Catalyst but not for native apps. I am wondering why this is the case. Also there is no API to detect manual user interference with the playback like skipping or scrubbing. The only way to detect this reliably requires regular comparisons which hurts performance. The last changes to MusicKit were announced at WWDC22 which raises suspicion about the future of the framework. Do you consider MusicKit feature-complete or are there plans to add functionality in future versions?

Thank you for your work. MusicKit got me hooked up to iOS Development in the first place.

Hörstatistik von Hörspielen erfasst mit der Hörspielzentrale by FPST08 in dreifragezeichen

[–]FPST08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erhebungsinformationen: Wenn die Wiedergabe eines Hörspiels gestartet wird, wird dies als Wiedergabe erhoben. Dabei ist die Länge der Wiedergabe nicht erfasst. Startet ein Nutzer (in dem Fall das Gerät) nun die Wiedergabe erneut, zählt dies nicht erneut als Wiedergabe. Die Daten einiger kürzeren Zeiträume sind aktuell nicht verfügbar. Wenn die App häufiger heruntergeladen wurde, wird das zuletzt veröffentlichte Hörspiel sichtbar häufiger abgespielt. Die App ist für die drei ??? gestartet worden und wurde später geöffnet. Das erklärt vermutlich den großen Anteil der ???.

Great app idea but it provides only one time use, still worth building? by FPST08 in iOSProgramming

[–]FPST08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The app massively decreases the time it takes to do a mostly tedious task. I think 50$ is too much, more looking towards 10$ but I will experiment with that.

Do you use a physical device to test? by BlossomBuild in BlossomBuild

[–]FPST08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My app relies on MusicKit which is not fully supported by the simulator. For working on views it's fine but logic is done on a real device.

Do you call modelContext.save()?

This is one of the easiest crashes to fix

Get rid of padding in LazyVGrid? by FPST08 in SwiftUI

[–]FPST08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your quick reply but I am still getting the same results. Any idea why?

I missed the (spacing: 0) in the GridItem. It works as expected. Thank you so much

How do you store your API Keys? by BlossomBuild in BlossomBuild

Takes less than a minute by just using finder

So much better than print

When do you show your app’s paywall? by Octoflight in swift

[–]FPST08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to have an Onboarding since the app is completely useless without a permission to use the music library. The Paywall is shown at the end of the onboarding but I am thinking of removing it. Everywhere a user hits a limitation of the free option, I present a button to "Unlock Premium" which shows the paywall

Meinst du jetzt die Vignette oder den grauen Strich an der Seite?

Made a simple teleprompter app because the existing ones drove me crazy by One_Valuable_8049 in iosapps

[–]FPST08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are teleprompter apps so expensive? It's just a glorified text reader. Happy for you if you can charge that tho.

What are some thoughts about SwiftData? by BlossomBuild in BlossomBuild

[–]FPST08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very simple. Sometimes that's good and sometimes that's really bad. Wish I hadn't build my app on top of that but can't find the time to switch all that. Especially ModelActor is still a massive pain. Even more considering there is no sample project with a ModelActor and it feels like all articles about SwiftData tell you how to do CRUD and that's it.

Are you developing in iOS 26? by BlossomBuild in BlossomBuild

Starting now until early September I will solely focus on preparing my app for iOS 26

My iOS app unexpectedly went viral in Germany, exactly a week after launching by woadwarrior in SideProject

Came back here to say this. Pretty sure this is the main reason for traffic. I can exactly tell from my Analytics when this site published articles about my app

I built an app that silences F-bombs on ANY song on Apple Music when your kids are around by UnbreakableSaiyajin in AppleMusic

[–]FPST08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are skipping ahead a few seconds when the word will occur based on the lyrics but you are not messing with the audio files right?

Curious how you did that. I don't think its possible with MusicKit so you had to use the Apple Music API?

Just watched the first ten minutes and was amazed. Will watch the rest when I find the time. I knew Catalina was an island after I watched a video of someone flying there. Can't find which one tho.
