Apple Music Crash Exploit

I’ve discovered a method to deliberately crash the Apple Music app across all Apple operating systems that support it. I can trigger this exploit with less than three input commands, and I’ve found it to be consistently replicable across different devices and platforms.

The glitch isn’t limited to just one device or version of the app—it happens universally. This makes me think there’s a deeper vulnerability within Apple Music’s software that hasn’t been addressed yet.

One of the most concerning parts of this issue is the effect it has on the device itself. I recorded a video showing the Apple Music app crashing, and during that process, my iPhone began overheating. It seems like whatever happens during the crash triggers system processes that put significant strain on the hardware, leading to thermal issues.

While I haven’t shared the exact steps publicly, I can confirm that the method involves some form of rhythmic or sequential interaction with the app. It could involve toggling between menus quickly, interacting with certain playlists, or performing actions that the app might not normally expect.

I’m planning to report this exploit to Apple through the Feedback app, but I’ve also been considering reaching out to a government agency. I feel like this discovery is an important milestone in my app development and security journey, and I know it could have broader implications for software stability and user experience.

I see this as a step forward in my career—both as a tech professional and as someone who wants to contribute to better app security and glitch detection. If needed, I can replicate the crash and explain the process further.
