Objective C: Getting MPMediaItem 'Favorite' property

I was looking at Apple's documentation, and I cannot seem to find a way to get whether or not an MPMediaItem is a 'favorite' track or not. See screenshot below, with the pink heart.

How can one get this property? I know since it's a new feature, it's availability would be limited to iOS 8.4 or later.

enter image description here

Here's some code I'm using to get other properties from MPMediaItems, via the music picker:

- (void) processMediaItems:(MPMediaItemCollection *)mediaItemCollection
{
            //iterate through selected songs
            if (mediaItemCollection) {
                NSArray *allSelectedSongs = [mediaItemCollection items];

                for(MPMediaItem *song in allSelectedSongs)
                {
                    NSURL *songURL = [song valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
                    NSNumber *ident = [song valueForProperty:MPMediaEntityPropertyPersistentID];
                    NSString *identString = [BukketHelper convertULLToNSString:ident];
                    NSNumber *isCloud = [song valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyIsCloudItem];
                }

 //do other stuff here
}

Anyone have ideas?

Solution

  • You have to use Apple Music API to get or set users's Like/Dislike to a song like this:

    GET https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/ratings/songs/{id}
