iphone - Can i access iPod Library on simulator?

Question

I am trying some code to open the iPod Library using the simulator but the app crashes with this error:

MPMediaLibrary: Unable to launch iPod library server: application not found

Do I need an actual iPhone to test this code?

Answer 1

I've had some success using MPMediaLibrary / MPMediaQuery on the simulator (not playing music, but at least able to query for items) and xcode 4.6.3

I used iFunBox to copy these files from my device:

'Raw File System'/iTunes_Control/iTunes/MediaLibrary.sqlitedb
'Raw File System'/iTunes_Control/iTunes/MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-shm
'Raw File System'/iTunes_Control/iTunes/MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-wal
'Raw File System'/iTunes_Control/iTunes/Artwork

onto my mac in the folder:

"~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Media/iTunes_Control/iTunes/"
