If an app contains app intents and built using the visionOS 1.1 SDK, and the app is either run on the visionOS 1.0 simulator or a visionOS 1.0 device the app instantly crashes on launch with a missing symbol error. This doesn’t happen with apps built using the visionOS 1.0 SDK. Below is a screenshot of a crash report sent by TestFlight review: Feedback ID: FB13666685

I have an Intents definition file for a Custom Intent that I want to convert to an AppIntent. The Custom Intent has the checkbox "Configurable in Shortcuts" not checked and therefore the "Convert to App Intent" Button is greyed out. I can however still do a conversion using the Menu-Item "Editor"->"Convert to App Intent". The intent has a number of parameters that are not configurable, but were set in code. This way it was possible to donate shortcuts with the parameters (and even the title) set in code. The automatic conversion using the menu item however produces a result that does not match the legacy Custom Intent (Parameters appear in the Shortcuts App etc). I also did not find any way to create AppIntents that have parameters that can be set in code, before the intent is donated. I would leave the old legacy Custom Intents as they are, but as soon as make use of any of the new iOS 16 Shortcut features (App Shortcuts) the existing donated Custom Intents disappear in the Shortcuts App. Given the apparent inability to convert them into AppIntents due to the missing code-set parameters, I would be happy for any advice on potential solutions.

Hi! I have an AppShortcutsProvider that has been marked @available(iOS 17.0, *), because all Intents used within it are only available in iOS 17. So the static var appShortcuts should only be accessible in iOS 17, obviously. Now this code has been released and works fine for iOS 17 users. But I just noticed that around 150 iOS 16 users have crashed in the static var appShortcuts, or more specifically, the defaultQuery of one of the Intents. This should not be possible, as neither the AppShortcutsProvider, nor the Intent is exposed to iOS 16, they are marked as @available(iOS 17.0, *). Any idea why this could happen?

Hello. My project includes a widget target that provides interactive widget functionalities. The document "Adding Interactivity to Widgets and Live Activities" says the following: Additionally, note that the perform() function is marked as throws. Be sure to handle errors instead of rethrowing them, and update your app, widget, and Live Activity as needed. For example, update a widget’s interface to indicate that it displays outdated information if it cannot load new data. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/adding-interactivity-to-widgets-and-live-activities#Implement-the-perform-function, column 3 However, I couldn't find a way how to handle an error in an interactive widget. The Button(intent:) and Toggle(intent:) initializers don't have mechanisms for error handling. Does anyone know a solution for handling errors in interactive widgets?

my app intent is to read the pasteboard and save data to app with swiftData. it worked very well on Simulator, but didn't work on my device

Adding the AppIntent of my app as AppShortcuts to the Shortcuts Apps was easy. This only required an AppShortcutsProvider. However, I am confused how the AppShortcuts are shown in the Shortcuts App. It seems that there are different styles enter image The AppShortcuts of some apps are shown as tiles While shortcuts from other apps are shown as collection of circle icons Some "circle collection" use a default gray background with blue icons Others color or even gradient backgrounds with white icons The only thing I found that might be related to the design is the shortcutTileColor property in the AppShortcutsProvider. However using/changing this property has no effect on how my app's shortcus are shown: On the default gray background / blue icon. Among the different apps on my devices I cannot see any logic which shortcuts are shown as tiles and which as circle icons. Additionally third party apps use colored background or gradients. So there there has to be a way to change this. But how?

AppIntens can be used as actions when working with Shortcut Automation. iOS offers a bunch of different triggers to start an automation, such as "Time of Day", "Email", "Transaction", etc. Depending on the trigger one can then pass different "Shortcut input" values as parameters to the App Intent. While in many cases the expected type is quite obvious, this is not always the case. An Email type input for example offers Subject, Sender, Recipients, Attachments, Content, Name. Subject will be most likely a String. But is Sender also a String or maybe an IntentPerson? Is Recipients a String (e.g. comma separated) or a collection? Is Attachments a [String], [URL] or [IntentFile]? How to I find out of which types these inputs have? Is there a better way than guessing and trial and error? The documentation provides very little information about supported types in general and I could find nothing about the types used by different triggers. Additionally each "Shortcut input" offers it self as parameter. So the Email type input does not only offer Subject, Sender, etc. as input parameters but also Email. What parameter type does an intent need no accept in order to receive on Email object? Thank you very much for your help.

The Shortcuts app offers the possibility to trigger shortcuts/intends when a wallet credit card is used and a new transaction is created. I would like to add transaction details to one of my apps and use such a shortcut for it. Other apps do the exact same thing, so this should not be a problem. Adding a shortcut to my app was not a big deal. However, how can this be tested on simulator? When trying to add a new automatization in the Shortcuts app using a wallet transaction as trigger I cannot finish the setup dialog since the Next button is disabled. I assume this is because no card is configured. When trying to add a card in Wallet I just receive that this was not successful. I have connected the simulator to a Sandbox Apple ID account using a region which supports Apple Pay (US). Using a real account does not solve the problem. Any idea how to get this working? Using real transaction within a store could obviously not be the solution for debugging.

I show some content in LiveActivity Dynamic Island and added a button. As buttons work with App Intent I created an Intent. When the button is clicked I get the following error Could not find an intent with identifier MyIntent, mangledTypeName: Optional("19LiveWidgetExtension10MyIntentV") MyIntent.swift import Foundation import AppIntents struct MyIntent: LiveActivityIntent { public init() { } func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { print("click") return .result() } } MyLiveActivity.swift ... DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.bottom) { HStack(alignment: .top) { Button(intent: MyIntent()) { Image(systemName: "bolt.fill") } } .tint(.white) .padding() } .... The Intent is added to all targets. Any ideas?

Hello guys Im searching a way to create, or to use an existent shortcut to limit timetables for certain applications. My goal is not to limit the daily maximum time for using an application. An example: my Iphone would not permit me to use tiktok from 6.00 AM to 8.00 AM Thank you in advance

Recently I realized that even though I was able to add my app's intents in the Shortcuts app, selecting any of the parameters didn't show the popup list of suggestions (the ones declared by DynamicOptionsProvider in the AppIntent subclass) and running it showed an error. In the image you can see the two suggestions for the working app version ("asdf" and "bla") that would not be there in the non-working version. I knew that when I had added this functionality, it worked, so I found the app version that caused the App Intents Extension to stop working. Apparently, the problem was that I had removed the Swift files declared in the app extension from my main app's target. Probably when I first added the App Intents Extension I had noticed that adding the extension's source files to the main target made it work, but later thought that it shouldn't be necessary and didn't test if it still worked. Today I created an empty project with a new App Intents Extension and confirmed that the Shortcuts app was correctly showing the parameter popup suggestions, even without including the extension's source files in the main target. Then during the course of almost an entire day I gradually reduced my original Xcode project to this new sample project to find what else would make the extension work, other than including the extension's source files in the main target. My very last resource was changing the bundle identifier, which solved the issue. My original project's targets have identifiers like org.domain.OriginalApp and org.domain.OriginalApp.AppIntent, while the sample project's targets have identifiers like org.domain.SampleApp and org.domain.SampleApp.AppIntent. How could including the App Intents Extension's source files in the main target or changing the bundle identifiers cause the Shortcuts app to correctly show the parameter popup suggestions?

Is it possible to get the original date created for an IntentFile? The following code always gets the date for right now, surely because it's copied into a temporary directory so that's when it was created at that location. if let fileURL = file.fileURL, fileURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() { if let attributes = try? FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: fileURL.path), let date = attributes[.creationDate] as? Date { print(date) } fileURL.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() }

Sorry if I'm in the wrong category for this :pray: Please see this MRE for clarity: https://github.com/MartinP7r/IntentTest (I used the example code from https://developer.apple.com/wwdc22/10032 except for deprecation warnings) The compiler throws an error Unable to determine value type for type IntentPackage.Shelf. According to comments in this question it's because the type I'm extending to AppEnum is not in the app target's module, but in a Swift Package. And yes, copying Shelf into the target will solve the issue, but I really don't like having to duplicate the types just to make it work and was wondering if there's any way to just use the type from the Swift package and only add the AppEnum conformance in the main target.

How to disable iOS Shortcut ( Automation ) Programmatically ? I have made an automation to open my app whenever a user opens Facebook app. When the user taps on "Continue with Facebook" the automation which is forcing to open my App show be disabled for 2 minutes. How can I achieve this?

Hello Community, I recently started to work on shortcuts with AppIntent and I want to have an image output on my shortcut action. The output of a string is simple and working: func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<String> { let myString : String = "Hello World" return .result(value: myString) I am having trouble to return an image. Ideally I want to load an image from iCloud Drive or from a website and throw image result. I tried func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<Image> { and func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<INFile> { , but was not apple to write a proper code to return .result(value: myImage) . Any help is very welcome and highly appreciated. Have a good week Eric

@MainActor perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { // ... switch locationManager.authorizationStatus { case .denied, .restricted: throw UserLocationError.permissionDenied case .notDetermined: await locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() // to ask permission default: break } // ... } Here is my code. When the authorizationStatus is .notDetermined, it invokes requestWhenInUseAuthorization() method on the main thread, but throws UserLocationError.permissionDenied immediately, eventhough I didn't deny the permission. It's really weird and unexpected that it throws UserLocationError.permissionDenied when the status is not .denied or .restricted Even it invokes requestWhenInUseAuthorization(), there's no alert for asking permission If there's any solution, please let me know

Hello everyone, I want to add preconfigured app shortcuts for my app using an AppShortcutsProvider implementation. I have been following this demo from WWDC22: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc22/10170 All looks pretty straight forward. However, I would like the preconfigured shortcuts to be based on the state of the data in the app: adding one shortcut for every user-entered item in a list. Now, this might be due to the fact that I'm a Swift novice, but I can't figure out how to do that from a AppShortcutsBuilder property as I can't create the AppShortcut instances in a for loop. I have failed to find any resources online on this. I assume I would need the ForEach equivalent of the ViewBuilder? Is anything like that available for AppShortcutsBuilder? I have also stumbled on this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/offering_actions_in_the_shortcuts_app But this solution seems to only work with INIntents rather than AppIntents. Is there a setShortcutSuggestions equivalent for AppIntents that I could call when the contents of my list change?

Hello, I'm working on my first app. It's also my first encounter with App Intents. I have a data structure for events that has an ID (String), a name (String), a Date and an image (Data). The user can create them in the app and they are stored with CoreData. I wanted to have a widget that would allow the user to choose from their list of events and display that event in the widget. The list should appear in the widget configuration and it would be a list of the names and (if possible) the image. I think I have found how to access the information from the widget, but I cannot figure out how to have the list appear in the configuration. I have been following this guide: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/making-a-configurable-widget?utm_source=pocket_saves. But that one shows hardcoded elements in the list and I haven't been able to find how to have the list change in relation to the content of the app. This is what I have made so far in the AppIntent file: import WidgetKit import AppIntents import CoreData struct EventDetail: AppEntity { static var defaultQuery: EventQuery = EventQuery() var id: String var date: Date var image: Data var title: String static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "Event" var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(id) \(title)") } } struct EventQuery: EntityQuery{ func entities(for identifiers: [EventDetail.ID]) async throws -> [EventDetail] { return fill_event_details(events_list: getEventDataIntent()) } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [EventDetail] { fill_event_details(events_list: getEventDataIntent()).filter { $0.id != "-" } } func defaultResult() async -> EventDetail? { try? await suggestedEntities().first } } struct ConfigurationAppIntent: WidgetConfigurationIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Select an event" static var description = IntentDescription("This is an example widget.") // An example configurable parameter. @Parameter(title: "Event") var event: EventDetail // init(events: [UserCountdowns]) { // self.event = fill_event_details(events_list: events)[0] // print("AppIntent") // print(self.event.title) // } init() { } } func fill_event_details(events_list: [UserCountdowns]) -> [EventDetail] { var entities_list: [EventDetail]? let events = getEventDataIntent() for event in events { entities_list!.append(EventDetail(id: event.id!, date: event.date!, image: event.image!, title: event.title!)) } return entities_list ?? [EventDetail(id: "-", date: Date(), image: Data(), title: "empty")] } func getEventDataIntent() -> [UserCountdowns] { let context = PersistenceController.shared.container.viewContext let request = UserCountdowns.fetchRequest() var result: [UserCountdowns]! do { result = try context.fetch(request) } catch { print(error) } return result } I have been trying a few things in the widget's code but I haven't been able to make anything work, so I don't really have anything worth sharing, I think. This is the code for the UserCountdowns structure: extension UserCountdowns { @nonobjc public class func fetchRequest() -> NSFetchRequest<UserCountdowns> { return NSFetchRequest<UserCountdowns>(entityName: "UserCountdowns") } @NSManaged public var date: Date? @NSManaged public var image: Data? @NSManaged public var title: String? @NSManaged public var id: String? } Could anyone help me with this, please? What am I missing or what would the next step be? Let me know if there is any other part of the code I should share. Thank you in advance!
