How can I setup correctly AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer for video display when I have input picture format kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA? Currently video i visible in simulator, but not iPhone, miss I something? Render code: var pixelBuffer: CVPixelBuffer? let attrs: [String: Any] = [ kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as String: kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA, kCVPixelBufferWidthKey as String: width, kCVPixelBufferHeightKey as String: height, kCVPixelBufferBytesPerRowAlignmentKey as String: width * 4, kCVPixelBufferIOSurfacePropertiesKey as String: [:] ] let status = CVPixelBufferCreateWithBytes( nil, width, height, kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA, img, width * 4, nil, nil, attrs as CFDictionary, &pixelBuffer ) guard status == kCVReturnSuccess, let pb = pixelBuffer else { return } var formatDesc: CMVideoFormatDescription? CMVideoFormatDescriptionCreateForImageBuffer( allocator: nil, imageBuffer: pb, formatDescriptionOut: &formatDesc ) guard let format = formatDesc else { return } var timingInfo = CMSampleTimingInfo( duration: .invalid, presentationTimeStamp: currentTime, decodeTimeStamp: .invalid ) var sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer? CMSampleBufferCreateForImageBuffer( allocator: kCFAllocatorDefault, imageBuffer: pb, dataReady: true, makeDataReadyCallback: nil, refcon: nil, formatDescription: format, sampleTiming: &timingInfo, sampleBufferOut: &sampleBuffer ) if let sb = sampleBuffer { if CMSampleBufferGetPresentationTimeStamp(sb) == .invalid { print("Invalid video timestamp") } if (displayLayer.status == .failed) { displayLayer.flush() } DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in guard let self = self else { print("Lost reference to self drawing") return } displayLayer.enqueue(sb) } frameIndex += 1 }

Has Objective-C been deprecated?

I'm capturing video stream from GoPro camera (I demux UDP MPEG-TS packets) and create CMSampleBuffers from them, this works fine when I display them using CMSampleBufferLayer. However when I dump them to disk using AVAssetWriter and then playback it with AVPlayer, AVPlayer has problems with scrubbing, it also cannot render previous frames, it needs to go back to key frames. Also thumbnails generated with AVAssetImageGenerator are mostly distorted and green, even though I set the requestedTimeToleranceAfter longer than the key frames frequency. When I re-encode saved video once again with AVAssetExportSession and play it back then I can scrub the video just fine. Is it because re-transcoding adds additional metadata to enable generating frames when rewinding the video and scrubbing? If so is there a way to achieve it with AVAssetWriter without much time penalty? I need the dump/save operation to be very fast. I also considered the following: Instead of de-muxing video and creating CMSampleBuffers, maybe I could directly dump the stream to disk and somehow add moov atoms with timing information. Would this approach work? If so where I can find information how to do it? Thank you!

Hi all, In MacOS, how can I disable or enable build-in camera by program or script?

As the image access policy has changed with Android targeting SDK 34, I’m planning to update the way our app accesses photos. We are using the react-native-image-picker library to access images. On Android, the system no longer prompts the user for image access permissions, but on iOS, permission requests still appear. Since Android no longer requires explicit permissions, I’ve removed the permission request logic for Android. In this case, is it also safe to remove the permission request for iOS? In our app, photo access is only used for changing the user profile picture and attaching images when writing a post on the bulletin board. Are there any limitations or considerations for this kind of usage?

According to the header file the outputVolume properties supported range is 0.0-1.0: /*! @property outputVolume @abstract The mixer's output volume. @discussion This accesses the mixer's output volume (0.0-1.0, inclusive). @property (nonatomic) float outputVolume; However when setting the volume to 2.0 the audio does indeed play louder. Is the header file out of date and if so, what is the supported range for outputVolume? Thanks

I'm working on adding CarPlay support to an audio app and am running into an issue. Occasionally, when a user opens the app from CarPlay while the main app scene is either not connected or is currently in the background, I will receive an error when attempting to activate the audio session. The code below mimics my setup: do { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .spokenAudio) try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) } catch { print(error) // NSOSStatusErrorDomain - 560557684: Session activation failed } That error code maps to AVAudioSession.ErrorCode.cannotInterruptOthers. Once in this state, all subsequent attempts to play different pieces of content will fail. However, things will start working normally if the user opens the app on their phone and tries again from CarPlay (while the app is in the foreground on their phone). I'm not sure why it would behave this way and want to note that I do have the audio background mode capability enabled. Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any workarounds or changes I could make to prevent this from happening?

I have added some custom views on my pip. These controls disappeared after opening the camera in the Xcode16 environment and iOS 18 system, and it was found that these custom views were not removed and seemed to be obscured. They were displayed normally in the Xcode15.4 environment. I would like to ask how to make my custom views display normally

I am developing an app that uses MusicKit to play music and then I need to have spoken words played to the user, while ducking the audio coming from MusicKit (application music player) the built in Siri voices are not off sufficient quality so I am using an external service to create an mp3 file and then play this back using AVAudioSession Sample code below the problem I am having is that .duckOthers is not ducking the Application Music Player output Is this a bug or am I doing this wrong? // Configure audio session for system-wide ducking try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback, mode: .spokenAudio, options: [.duckOthers, .mixWithOthers]) try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) // Set the ducking level to maximum try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setPreferredIOBufferDuration(0.005) // Create and configure audio player self.audioPlayer = try AVAudioPlayer(data: audioData) self.audioPlayer?.delegate = self self.audioPlayer?.volume = 1.0 // Ensure full volume for speech self.audioPlayer?.prepareToPlay() // Set the audio player's settings for maximum clarity self.audioPlayer?.enableRate = false self.audioPlayer?.pan = 0.0 // Center the audio self.audioPlayer?.play()

Hi, In my project I am using AVFoundation for recording the audio. We are using AVAudioMixerNode class below method to record the audio packet. **func installTap( onBus bus: AVAudioNodeBus, bufferSize: AVAudioFrameCount, format: AVAudioFormat?, block tapBlock: @escaping AVAudioNodeTapBlock ) ** It works perfectly fine. But in production env some small percentage of the user we are facing issue like after recording few packets it stops automatically without stopping the audio engine. Can anyone help here that why this happens? I have also observed for mediaServicesWereResetNotification and added log on receiving this notification but when this issue happens I don't see any occurence of this log. Also is there any callback when the engine stops?

Does anyone know how to pronounce the sound of a specific instrument when you tap a button on the screen on your iPhone or iPad? Now, in the middle of creating a music learning app, I'm thinking of assigning monotones or chords to the button-like frames on the keyboard and fingerboard on the screen. Can it be achieved with SwiftUI chords alone? Once upon a time, MIDI level 1 I remember that there was a pronunciation function of the instrument, but I don't think about implementing the same function in the current OS. Please lend me your wisdom.

I have a crash related to playing video in AVPlayerViewController and AVQueuePlayer. I download the video locally from the network and then initialize it using AVAsset and AVPlayerItem.

我在使用 musicKit SDK for Android 1.1.2 时，发现 MediaContainerType 只定义了三种类型： 无 = 0; 专辑 = 1; 播放列表 = 2; 未定义 RADIO_STATION 类型。 但是，com.apple.android.music.playback.model 的文档指出支持 RADIO_STATION 类型。 此问题在我传入 stations ID 后会导致错误： MediaSessionManager com.apple.android.music.sdk.testapp D onPlaybackError（） Quincy java.io.IOException 请问如何解决这个问题？

I've got a problem with my app where I'm testing it on my own phone. I'm using audio kit to generate tones as part of the app. Everything seems to work fine. Sounds start, Stop, etc. They play when the app is closed and when the phone is locked, so background is working. However, I'm seeing an issue where, even when STOP is pressed and the application exited, if I get a notification such as a text message, the base tone for the app starts to play. If I then open the app, check the Start/Stop button - it says start so that. hasnt' been activated. If I click Start, then a 2nd tone starts. This one stops with the Stop button. However the original tone that was set off by an incoming message carries on playing. Until I go to the Open Apps View on the phone and slide the application upwards. For the life of me, I can't figure out whats happening here.

i need to make app for iOS to get code for XCode

who can help me to make app for iOS with XCode

Hello, 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? Do i need to create a custom catalog?

the problem is when using HLS live stream with AVPlayer on iOS/ tvOS the player chooses first highest bandwidth then slowly steps down to lowest (within 1-3min) and eventually steps up again then repeats to step down. the AVPlayer error log sends events: errorStatusCode: -12888, errorDomain: Optional("CoreMediaErrorDomain"), errorComment: Optional("The operation couldn't be completed.
