# AnyAppEnum A type-erased representation of an app enumeration that provides dynamic enumeration value access. ``` struct AnyAppEnum ``` ## Overview Use `AnyAppEnum` to work with enumerations when you don’t know the specific enumeration type at compile time. At compile, the [`AnyAppEnum`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum) structure resolves to your app enum type and gives you access to its value as shown in the following example: ```swift let definitions = IntentDefinitions( bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.example" ) let colorEnum = definitions.enums["Color"] let priorityEnum = definitions.enums["Priority"] // Creating enumeration cases. let redCase = colorEnum.makeCase("red") let highPriority = priorityEnum.makeCase("high") // Accessing enumeration properties. let rawValue = redCase.rawValue // "red" // Converting raw values in a type-safe way. let colorName = try redCase.as(String.self) let priorityLevel = try highPriority.as(String.self) ``` ## Topics ### Creating an enum [`init(typeIdentifier: String, rawValue: String)`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum/init(typeIdentifier:rawValue:)) Creates a new instance with the specified enumeration identifier and raw value. [`init(typeIdentifier: String, value: any LosslessStringConvertible)`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum/init(typeIdentifier:value:)) Creates an enumeration with a typed raw value. [`var typeIdentifier: String`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum/typeIdentifier) The enumeration’s type identifier. [`var rawValue: String`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum/rawValue) The raw value of the selected enumeration option. ### Converting enum values [`func `as`(T.Type) throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum/as(_:)) Casts the raw value to the specified type. ### Default Implementations [CustomStringConvertible Implementations](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyAppEnum/CustomStringConvertible-Implementations) ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`CustomStringConvertible`](/documentation/Swift/CustomStringConvertible) [`Equatable`](/documentation/Swift/Equatable) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) [`Escapable`](/documentation/Swift/Escapable) [`IntentValueConvertible`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueConvertible) [`Copyable`](/documentation/Swift/Copyable) [`IntentValueExpressing`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueExpressing) [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
