# AnyTransientAppEntity A type-erased representation of a transient app entity that provides dynamic property access. ``` @dynamicMemberLookup struct AnyTransientAppEntity ``` ## Overview Use `AnyTransientAppEntity` to work with transient entities when you don’t know the specific entity type at compile time. ```swift // Getting transient entity definitions. let definitions = IntentDefinitions(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.example") let sessionEntity = definitions.transientEntities["UserSessionEntity"] // Creating a transient entity with properties. var entity = sessionEntity.withProperties( name: "John Doe", age: 30 ) // Accessing properties with type safety. let userName: String? = try entity.name let userAge: Int? = try entity.age // Accessing nested properties (requires try). if try entity.profile.name == "John Doe" { print("User found") } ``` ## Topics ### Identifying the entity type [`var entityType: AttributedTypeIdentifier`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/entityType) The type of transient app entity represented by this identifier. ### Instance Methods [`func exported(as: T.Type) async throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/exported(as:)-2rmw6) Exports this transient entity as a transferable intent value type. [`func exported(as: UTType?) async throws -> IntentFile`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/exported(as:)-7mrbg) Exports this transient entity’s content as an `IntentFile`. [`func exported(as: T.Type) async throws -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/exported(as:)-8zhnu) Exports this transient entity as a system intent value type. ### Subscripts [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> (any IntentValueExpressing)?`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/subscript(dynamicMember:)-5ygut) Accesses an entity property by name, without casting. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> DynamicPropertyPath`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/subscript(dynamicMember:)-63vyv) Accesses a nested entity property by name. [`subscript(dynamicMember _: String) -> T`](/documentation/AppIntentsTesting/AnyTransientAppEntity/subscript(dynamicMember:)-8pfwv) Accesses an entity property by name, for comparison with a known value. ## Relationships ### Conforms To [`IntentValueExpressing`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueExpressing) [`Equatable`](/documentation/Swift/Equatable) [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) [`IntentValueConvertible`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentValueConvertible) [`Escapable`](/documentation/Swift/Escapable) [`Copyable`](/documentation/Swift/Copyable) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
