How to Make a JWT (JSON Web Token) for Apple's MusicKit
#swiftui #iosdev #musickit
UPDATE!
As of WWDC 2021, this is no longer required. Apple have now added the ability to automatically create developer and user tokens. WOOO!
In this video I show you how to generate the JWT (JSON Web Token) that you need for MusicKit within your app. I think Apple expects us to perform this on our own servers and pass them along to the app.
If your music player app doesn't have a server side component (Firebase, iCloud, Vapor, etc) you're in a bit of a pickle. Even with regular app updates, users stuck on an older version of your app will not be able to use the Apple Music features in it once the token expires :(
So the easiest (and least secure way) is to generate these tokens on the device. All you need to do is follow this video, and run your generate token code anytime the JWT is due to a refresh! Heck, run it every time you launch your app if you like.
(Apple should really fix this)
