Hello, we have noticed a change in the last few weeks in how Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) is operating. Specifically, MPP pre-caches images within email newsletters that are protected via Private Relay. The end result of the pre-cacheing is that every image in the newsletter is retrieved from our servers even if the user does not open the newsletter. This has been in place since '21. What we've noticed in the last month or so, is that the amount of pre-cacheing has dropped significantly, on the order of 20-25%. We can compare this with newsletters opened in non-MPP environments to know that email sends are consistent, it is only that pre-cached events seem to have changed. Does anyone know of any changes to the logic of Private Relay / MPP that would impact how it is pre-caching data from email newsletters? Thank you.

I'm working on a game which uses HDR display output for a much brighter range. One of a feature of the game is the ability to export in-game photos. The only appropriate format I found for this is Open EXR. The embedded Photos app is capable of showing HDR photos on an HDR display. However, if drop an EXR file to the photos with a large range, it won't be properly displayed with HDR mode with the full range. At the same time, pressing Edit on the file makes it HDR displayable and it remains displayable if save the edit with any, even a tiny, change. Moreover, if the EXR file is placed next to 'true' HDR one (or an EXR 'fixed' as on above), then durring scroll between the files, the broken EXR magically fixes at the exact moment the other HDR drives up to the screen. I tested on different files with various internal format. Seems to be a coomon problem for all. Tested on the latest iOS 17.0.3. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone! Im new to this forum and i have a question about playing mp3 files on our Homepage on apple devices: We have a service section with the latest News, Traffic and Weather on our Site. The problem is, that the mp3 Files can be played, but the player shows 0:00 and is not able to go to the middle or end of the file. This is ONLY on Iphone in our app and on Safari. I am recording the mp3 with ffmpeg. The strange thing is, that there is no Bitrate shown in FIle details, and also no length. The File is auto Recorded with a script.

iOS 17.4.1, iPhone 15 Pro. I pick photos from the user's photo library using: ... .photosPicker(isPresented: $addPhotos, selection: $pickedPhotos, matching: .images) .onChange(of: pickedPhotos) { import(photoItems: pickedPhotos) } The picker UI works ok, but then when I import the photos: private func import(photoItems: [PhotosPickerItem]) { for photoItem in photoItems { Log.debug("picked: \(photoItem)") Task { do { let imageData = try await photoItem.loadTransferable(type: Data.self) guard let imageData else { Log.error("failed to load image data") return } guard let image = UIImage(data: imageData) else { Log.error("failed to create image from data") return } // use image .... } catch { Log.error("failed to load image data: \(error)") } } } } Logging the picked photo gives: PhotosPickerItem(_itemIdentifier: "C7E2F753-43F6-413D-BA42-509C60BE9D77/L0/001", _shouldExposeItemIdentifier: false, _supportedContentTypes: [<_UTCoreType 0x1ebcd1c10> public.jpeg (not dynamic, declared), <_UTCoreType 0x1ebcd1d70> public.heic (not dynamic, declared), <UTType 0x300fe0430> com.apple.private.photos.thumbnail.standard (not dynamic, declared), <UTType 0x300fe03f0> com.apple.private.photos.thumbnail.low (not dynamic, declared)], _itemProvider: <PUPhotosFileProviderItemProvider: 0x303fdff00> {types = ( "public.jpeg", "public.heic", "com.apple.private.photos.thumbnail.standard", "com.apple.private.photos.thumbnail.low" )}) Looks like there's a valid photo?

Note this is not in a simulator which seems to have long standing bugs related to photo picking, this is on a freshly upgraded 17.4.1 device. I can't find any documentation related to these errors and all googling comes up with a few other cases but no solutions. Should this API actually work or is it better to go back to the old UIKit stuff? I use loadTransferable(type: Data.self) as UIImage.self is not Transferable and this hack has seemed to work ok for some months.

I'm trying to accomplish creating a new playlist on device that appears in AppleMusic, and adding into the playlist a selection of MP3s within a small IOS app. Now the MP3's are either a stream of bytes, or a flat file already stored on the device (the app itself generates these - they aren't downloaded, they are created in app, and then stored on the local device) in it's local storage space. The idea is that created tracks can show up in a specific play list on the device. Now, there appears to be some conflict as to what framework I need to use. I've found MPMediaPlayer, which appears to allow me to create a playlist using the GetPlaylist call, although the documentation on this seems pretty sparse and there's not a lot of examples I can find on how to use this? It looks like a UUID is passed in, but there is no documentation on what this UUID is or where it comes from? If I want to create a new Playlist, I presume I need to generate a UUID, and then store that locally in order to be able to access that playlist again later, yes? There's an AddItem call which looks like it's how you add a track to a playlist, but there's no documentation on how you generate an entry. The documentation for this function talks about a Product ID, without describing what the product ID is, or where it needs to come from. Is this a GUID? Is it a name/description? Does it have to be unique? I'm assuming this Product ID refers to that which is being added to the playlist, but the documentation is sadly lacking in terms of explaining what the product ID refers to. Is it a media Item, or is that what is created when whatever entity the Product ID is referring to is added to the playlist? I'm assuming I can create a NSURL of the file that is stored that is actually the MP3 sample, but what I do with that in order to actually add it as a playlist entry is unknown. I'm sure there is a mechanism to do this, it's just not clear what that is. There's a lack of understanding or explanation of what the process is here, and some illumination would be helpful.

Hi guys, I'm implementing FairPlay support for a video streaming application. I've managed to get as far as generating the SPC and acquiring a license from the license server. However when it comes to parsing the license (CKC) returned from the server, the FPS module returns error code -42671. Has anyone else faced this before and / or knows what the fix is? I thought passing it the license should be enough unless additional data is required?

Is there any way to play panoramic or 360 videos in an immersive space, without using VideoMaterial on a sphere? I've tried using local videos with 4k and 8k quality and all of them look pixelated using this approach. I tried both simulator as well as the real device, and I can't ever get a high-quality playback. If the video is played on a regular 2D player, on the other hand, it shows the expected quality.

CVPixelBuffer.h defines kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange = '420v', /* Bi-Planar Component Y'CbCr 8-bit 4:2:0, video-range (luma=[16,235] chroma=[16,240]). baseAddr points to a big-endian CVPlanarPixelBufferInfo_YCbCrBiPlanar struct */ kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange = 'x420', /* 2 plane YCbCr10 4:2:0, each 10 bits in the MSBs of 16bits, video-range (luma=[64,940] chroma=[64,960]) */ But when I set above format camera output, and I find the output pixelbuffer's value is exceed the range.I can see [0 -255] for 420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange and [0,1023] for 420YpCbCr10BiPlanarVideoRange Is it a bug or something wrong of the output?If it is not how can I choose the correct matrix transfer the yuv data to rgb?

I use a PHPickerViewController for a user to select profile images. I want the order in which the photos were selected, respected. However, whenever I return the selected results, the order in which I selected is not reflected. I've double checked my config, but no solution has worked and would appreciate any guidance that does not involve using a 3rd party! Apple Documentation states simply setting the .selection property to .ordered should respect the user's selected order, but it does not!! documentation //Setup code var config = PHPickerConfiguration() config.selectionLimit = 3 config.filter = .images config.selection = .ordered let picker = PHPickerViewController(configuration: config) picker.delegate = self //Delegate handler func picker(_ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) { guard !results.isEmpty else { picker.dismiss(animated: true) return } self.photos = [] var tempImages: [Int: UIImage] = [:] let dispatchGroup = DispatchGroup() for (index, result) in results.enumerated() { dispatchGroup.enter() // Enter the group result.itemProvider.loadObject(ofClass: UIImage.self) { [weak self] object, error in defer { dispatchGroup.leave() } guard let self = self else { return } if let image = object as? UIImage { tempImages[index] = image } } } dispatchGroup.notify(queue: .main) { [weak self] in guard let self = self else { return } for index in 0..<tempImages.keys.count { if let image = tempImages[index] { self.photos?.append(image) } } } picker.dismiss(animated: true) }

I know that if you want background audio from AVPlayer you need to detatch your AVPlayer from either your AVPlayerViewController or your AVPlayerLayer in addition to having your AVAudioSession configured correctly. I have that all squared away and background audio is fine until we introduce AVPictureInPictureController or use the PiP behavior baked into AVPlayerViewController. If you want PiP to behave as expected when you put your app into the background by switching to another app or going to the homescreen you can't perform the detachment operation otherwise the PiP display fails. On an iPad if PiP is active and you lock your device you continue to get background audio playback. However on an iPhone if PiP is active and you lock the device the audio pauses. However if PiP is inactive and you lock the device the audio will pause and you have to manually tap play on the lockscreen controls. This is the same between iPad and iPhone devices. My questions are: Is there a way to keep background-audio playback going when PiP is inactive and the device is locked (iPhone and iPad) Is there a way to keep background-audio playback going when PiP is active and the device is locked? (iPhone)

Hello. Does anyone have any ideas on how to work with the new iOS 17 Live Photo? I can save the live photo, but I can't set it as wallpaper. Error: "Motion is not available in iOS 17" There are already applications that allow you to do this - VideoToLive and the like. What should I use to implement this with swift language? Most likely the metadata needs to be changed, but I'm not sure.

Hello! I'm trying to save videos asynchronously. I've already used performChanges without the completionHandler, but it didn't work. Can you give me an example? Consider that the variable with the file URL is named fileURL. What would this look like asynchronously?

Starting with Sonoma 14.2 it is not possible any longer to connect canon cameras to an app via USB using Canon's EDSDK framework. This has been working fine up to Sonoma 14.1. The app using the EDSDK is not crashing, but the SDK is not reporting back any connected cameras any longer. The camera is connected and can be seen in the system report as well as in e.g. gphoto2 and even in the EOS Utility Software. It seems that 14.2 introduced some breaking change to the access to cameras from within apps. I've tried upgrading to the newest EDSDK version and checked with and without App Sandbox. There is no way to find the camera any longer on 14.2.
