HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) at WWDC 2024

At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several enhancements related to HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) in different sessions:

  1. Discover Media Performance Metrics in AVFoundation:

    • In iOS 18, Apple enhanced the metrics available for HLS streaming assets, providing more data points to help understand and improve media playback performance. This includes new ways to gather media performance metrics represented as events, which can be subscribed to by apps for better insights and analytics. This is particularly useful for diagnosing issues like playback stalls or delays in starting media playback.

  2. Enhance Ad Experiences with HLS Interstitials:

    • Apple introduced new ways to present and navigate HLS interstitials, which are used for inserting ads or other auxiliary content into main content streams. The session covered the new Integrated Timeline API, which provides a data model for building UI experiences around interstitials, allowing for seamless navigation in and out of these segments.
    • Enhance ad experiences with HLS interstitials (01:56)

These sessions provide valuable insights into how developers can leverage new APIs and features to enhance media streaming and ad experiences in their applications.
