My app is properly configured with MusicKit. I've generated a JWT using my valid credentials (Team ID, Key ID, private key), and I’ve ensured the time settings are correct via NTP.
When I call:
https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/jp/search?term=ado&types=songs
I consistently receive a 500 Internal Server Error.
The JWT is generated using ES256 with valid iat and exp values. I’ve confirmed the token decodes properly using jwt.io, and it's passed via the Authorization: Bearer header.
Things I’ve confirmed:
- Key ID, Team ID, private key are correct
- App ID is configured with MusicKit capability
- JWT is generated and signed correctly
- macOS time is synced via NTP
- Used both
curland Python to test — same result
Is there anything else I should check on the Apple Developer Console (like App ID, Certificates, or provisioning profile)?
Or could this be a backend issue on Apple’s side?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. Please file a bug report, include a small sample project and some directions that can be used to reproduce the problem, and post the Feedback number here once you do. If you post the Feedback number here I'll check the status next time I do a sweep of forums posts where I've suggested bug reports.
