MPMediaItemArtwork is null while cover is available in iTunes

Question

The UIImage \"image\" is always empty (\"null\") though the cover is shown in the music app by apple. in iOS 7 it works fine, but with iOS 8 I get no cover.

Answer 1

Your code looks fine. I have the same code for getting artwork and it's working for me on iOS 8. Are you SURE the item actually has artwork? Play that song in the music app - artwork?
