# delegate

Accesses the metadata collector’s delegate object.

## Declaration

```swift
weak var delegate: (any AVPlayerItemMetadataCollectorPushDelegate)? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The delegate is held using a zeroing-weak reference, so this property will have a value of nil after a delegate that was previously set has been deallocated. This property is not key-value observable.
