How do I setup an MPErrorDomain listener

Question

I'm trying to understand how to handle errors in obj-c on the MediaPlayer and we had someone do some work to do this for us on the AVPlayer but the way that is handled on AVPlayer is different, from what I can see in the documentation, than how errors are handled on the MPMusicPlayerController.

There is something called an MPErrorDomain which is a type of ErrorDomain.

Do I create an observer to listen for when this type of error object occurs?

I am really just looking to understand how to process when one of these errors occur

Ultimately I want to process these error codes https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mperrorcode?language=objc

No. You just do stuff and either you get an error or you don't.

Some methods have error parameters in their completion handlers:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mpmusicplayerapplicationcontroller/2815055-perform

Apart from that, you'll know you've got an error because the Console will say so (during debugging with Xcode).
