To play an Apple Music song in SwiftUI, you can use the MusicKit framework, which provides APIs for integrating Apple Music into your app. Here's a basic example of how you might do this:

  1. Import MusicKit: First, make sure to import the MusicKit framework.

  2. Request Authorization: Request authorization to access the user's Apple Music library.

  3. Fetch and Play a Song: Use the MusicPlayer to play a song.

Here's a simple example:

import SwiftUI
import MusicKit

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var musicPlayer = MusicPlayer.shared
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Button(action: {
                Task {
                    do {
                        // Request authorization
                        let status = await MusicAuthorization.request()
                        guard status == .authorized else { return }
                        
                        // Fetch a song by its ID
                        let songID = MusicItemID("your-song-id-here")
                        let song = try await MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Song>(matching: \.id, equalTo: songID).response().items.first
                        
                        // Play the song
                        if let song = song {
                            musicPlayer.queue = [song]
                            try await musicPlayer.play()
                        }
                    } catch {
                        print("Error playing song: \(error)")
                    }
                }
            }) {
                Text("Play Song")
            }
        }
    }
}

Steps Explained:

  1. Import MusicKit: This allows you to use the MusicKit framework.
  2. Request Authorization: The app requests permission to access the user's Apple Music library.
  3. Fetch and Play a Song: The app fetches a song using its ID and then plays it using the MusicPlayer.
