I'm trying to retrieve the artwork for a playlist (not the artwork for a song). The Apple music app let you create an image for a playlist but I can't seem to access it.
Is this possible? MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork is not listed as one of the Playlist Property Keys.
I'm trying the following:
let playlistItems: [MPMediaPlaylist] = playlistQuery.collections! as! [MPMediaPlaylist]
for playlist in playlistItems {
let artwork = playlist.value( forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork ) as? MPMediaItemArtwork
let sizeforArtwork = artwork?.bounds.size
let artworkImage = artwork?.image(at: sizeforArtwork!)
let playlistName = playlist.value( forProperty: MPMediaPlaylistPropertyName ) as! String
let info: PlaylistInfo = PlaylistInfo(
playlistTitle: playlistName,
playlistImage: artworkImage
)
playlists.append(info)
}
And
struct PlaylistInfo {
var playlistTitle: String
var playlistImage: UIImage?
}
var playlists: [PlaylistInfo] = []
