Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

ApplicationMusicPlayer macOS vs. Catalyst

ApplicationMusicPlayer is available on the Mac! 🎉🎉🎉 Enormous thanks to @JoeKun and the team. I've already gotten my app up and running through Catalyst, and I've successfully played music! I also got some timeouts, but that was happening on my phone a lot that day too, so maybe my local CDN was just having a bad day.

I wanted to ask this question in a lab this week, but the timing didn't work out: Do you expect the experience to be the same using ApplicationMusicPlayer on a Catalyst vs a macOS target? I'm hoping to reuse much of my iPad app and go the Catalyst route, but I wanted to double check that the new support wasn't just for macOS.

Did you get the ApplicationMusicPlayer work on macOS (native). For me it is not working and I am wondering if it is still not full functional. Beside of this there could be additional steps required which I am not aware of.

Welp. As of Sonoma 14.6.x calling applicationMusicPlayer crashes the Music app. Using systemMusicPlayer was the only choice for my music player until upgrading to Sonoma, and now I must return to it again. So weird…
