Hello @zengxing,

If you're using MusicKit's ApplicationMusicPlayer, you should be able to get updates from the state object, which conforms to ObservableObject.

Following guidance from the documentation for ApplicationMusicPlayer, make sure to include a background audio mode in the Info.plist file for your app.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

  • @JoeKun Thanks for that info. I don't see specifics about that background-audio-mode plist entry in that doc, though. I just says to include it, with no details or any link to details.
