In a beta release of macOS 12.2, the app will take advantage of the web-based user interface components of the software that comes from iTunes. The report says that “searching for new songs in Apple Music is much faster”, that “scrolling between elements’ has also become smoother,” and that “trackpad gestures are now more responsive” in the new app. Apple made the decision to ditch web-based technology for Mac-specific tools – mainly for a better user experience. The new Music app uses the app AppKit, the framework that Apple describes in its documentation as a way for developers to manage and construct a graphical, event-driven user interface for macOS, but it does that using a JET tool. Despite the fact that Apple doesn’t reveal any details about JET on its developer website, 9to5Mac said it’s “a technology created by Apple to convert web content into native apps.” That raises questions regarding the resuscences caused by this update, since other web-to-native technologies often criticized for various issues, but initial impressions don’t seem to seem promising. So, it looks like a new Music app might be arriving with the next major update to MacOS Monterey. The pre-release versions of macOS 12.2 featuring this new addition, as well as its public beta program are now available through the developer’s website. You can recall that Apple’s plans for the update may change before the official release.
