Known Issues

• iBridge does not work correctly when the Apple Music app is also active. This is because Apple Music sends the same "com.apple.iTunes.playerInfo" notifications as iTunes that iBridge listens to.

Workaround: Avoid using the Apple Music app while listening to iTunes.

Compatability

• macOS 11.5 Big Sur or newer
• iTunes ver. 10.7 or 11.4 (Install via Retroactive)
