# AnyAppEntity A type-erased, intermediate representation of your app entity for testing purposes. ``` @dynamicMemberLookup struct AnyAppEntity ``` ## Overview The `AnyAppEntity` structure resolves to your actual entity type and gives you access to its properties, enabling you to test your app entity code: ```swift // Define your app entity type from your app bundle: let definitions = IntentDefinitions( bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.example" ) let exampleEntity = definitions.entities[ "ExampleEntity" ] // Create an entity from an identifier. let entity = exampleEntity.makeReference( identifier: "my-example" ) // Type-safe access to the entity's properties. let name: String? = entity.name let itemCount: Int? = entity.itemCount // Accessing nested properties (requires try). if try entity.profile.name == "John Doe" { print("User found") } ``` ## Topics ### Identifying the entity [`var identifier: AttributedEntityIdentifier`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/identifier) The value that uniquely identifies the app entity. ### Instance Methods [`func exported(as: T.Type) async throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/exported(as:)-54w7m) Exports this entity as a system intent value type. [`func exported(as: T.Type) async throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/exported(as:)-7pg2q) Exports this entity as a transferable intent value type. [`func exported(as: UTType?) async throws -> IntentFile`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/exported(as:)-8qa8k) Exports this entity’s content as an `IntentFile`. ### Subscripts [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> (any IntentValueExpressing)?`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/subscript(dynamicMember:)-4bdp1) Accesses an entity property by name, without casting. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/subscript(dynamicMember:)-5twll) Accesses an entity property by name, for comparison with a known value. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> DynamicPropertyPath`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEntity/subscript(dynamicMember:)-yuv) Accesses a nested entity property by name. ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`Escapable`](/documentation/Swift/Escapable) [`Equatable`](/documentation/Swift/Equatable) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) [`IntentValueConvertible`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueConvertible) [`Copyable`](/documentation/Swift/Copyable) [`IntentValueExpressing`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueExpressing) [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
