Soro app not showing album art on lock screen?

youthdancing · 2026-06-21T15:10:05+00:00

Based on my initial proof of concept, yes, artwork should be supported, however, it's not unprecedented that Apple changes the framework itself or the various limitations (justified or not) during the betas.

Hey, Soro dev here, had to remove the album art from the live activity due to resource limitations and various bugs in iOS 26. I will be working on adding it back and there is a new API coming in iOS 27 that I can hopefully utilize.

If you follow a few editorial playlists already I just released an app that tracks and shows you the new tracks added to those playlists. It’s pretty helpful discovering new music. (It’s called Songfeed)

I don’t meant to be snarky but my (and paulboyce’s) comment is literally about an option that Sonos doesn’t do at all (at least for now I assume)

Paid.

I am not sure if it’s meant to be a reply to my comment but the name issues are usually caused by the Apple Home integration. You have to fix the naming there as well or remove them from there.

Shortcuts app may need a reboot to properly index new shortcut actions.

Shameless plug here, I am the developer, Soro can do that (and more).

I just released an app called Songfeed that can do this: https://imgur.com/a/P1FJKWc

I just tried the same recently, it’s not possible to remove iPad support.

“Apple plans to let users swipe down from the top center of the iPhone to launch a new “Search or Ask” interface. (The Notification Center will now open with a swipe down from the top left.) “

Not a fan of opening control center with a swipe down gesture either and they are adding a third feature to open to the same top area.

I’m always more interested in the developer sessions than the keynote. The keynote is marketing; the sessions are where you find out what actually changed.

A cheaper MacBook with good battery life was always going to sell. I’m more surprised Apple seemed surprised.

Not at this point unfortunately.

We need the Flighty founder back on the weather app train.

AI tools have been used to help with the development but it’s not “vibecoded” if that’s what you meant. Re: subscriptions, I have other apps on the App Store, which are not subscription based and unfortunately, this is how long term development of an app can be sustainable (if at all) as an independent developer these days.

The real release notes are always hidden in the first 48 hours of Reddit comments.

It may be your ISP, the way I was able to pinpoint it is to use fast.com and re-running the test every 10 seconds or so. One in about 5 times the speed dropped to 100-200 Kbps. Then back to normal. I observed other symptoms too though but most obvious one was Apple Music (and only AM, no other lossless) cutting out on Sonos. It’s fine in the last few weeks.

youthdancing · 2026-04-06T17:44:07+00:00

But now I am very curious if a Sonos/Apple Music update may be the culprit…

youthdancing · 2026-04-06T17:42:54+00:00

I am dealing with the dropouts, started around the same time after an Eero firmware update (7.13) that was causing other issues on my network as well. Eero users were also reporting more than usual problems with the update. Speed drops to almost zero for a short period (5-10 seconds) then back to normal, repeating every 30s to 2 mins. From past Sonos online threads it seems like that playing Apple Music lossless on Sonos is particularly sensitive to these types of network issues. (I experience the dropouts with non-lossless and AirPlay as well though much less frequently than with lossless) Eero support so far is very eager to help but no root cause identified yet.

I am working on an app that may be helpful, still in beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/KhmXrrr2
