WWDC26: Meet the Now Playing framework | Apple

“MediaSession is what connects the session representation with the system.”
An Apple WWDC26 session introduces the NowPlaying framework, including media sessions, remote media sessions, and Media Sharing Extensions for integrating app media into system playback surfaces. It is a developer-focused API walkthrough with no meaningful AI content, making it largely off-topic for an AI conference intelligence newsletter.
