IntentDonationManager not donating Shortcuts
if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {       print("donated")       let intent = BasicIntent()       IntentDonationManager.shared.donate(intent: intent)    } Trying to test if donations work with the new App Intents framework. Donating the shortcut once a user taps a button. The shortcut is not appearing on the lock screen. Everything else is working as expected. The Shortcut is appearing in the Shortcuts App and is working via Siri. In developer settings I have Display Recent Shortcuts -> On Display Donations on Lock Screen -> On Allow Any domain -> On Allow Unverified sources -> On Running iOS 16.2, iPhone 11.

Group AppIntents’ Searchable DynamicOptionsProvider in Sections
I’m trying to group my EntityPropertyQuery selection into sections as well as making it searchable. I know that the EntityStringQuery is used to perform the text search via entities(matching string: String). That works well enough and results in this modal: Though, when I’m using a DynamicOptionsProvider to section my EntityPropertyQuery, it doesn’t allow for searching anymore and simply opens the sectioned list in a menu like so: How can I combine both? I’ve seen it in other apps, but can’t figure out why my code doesn’t allow to section the results and make it searchable? Any ideas? My code (simplified) struct MyIntent: AppIntent { @Parameter(title: "Meter"), optionsProvider: MyOptionsProvider()) var meter: MyIntentEntity? // … struct MyOptionsProvider: DynamicOptionsProvider { func results() async throws -> ItemCollection<MyIntentEntity> { // Get All Data let allData = try IntentsDataHandler.shared.getEntities() // Create Arrays for Sections let fooEntities = allData.filter { $0.type == .foo } let barEntities = allData.filter { $0.type == .bar } return ItemCollection(sections: [ ItemSection("Foo", items: fooEntities), ItemSection("Bar", items: barEntities) ]) } } struct MeterIntentQuery: EntityStringQuery { // entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) and suggestedEntities() functions func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [MyIntentEntity] { // Fetch All Data let allData = try IntentsDataHandler.shared.getEntities() // Filter Data by String let matchingData = allData.filter { data in return data.title.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(string)) } return matchingData } }

Siri Intent Dialog with custom SwiftUIView not responding to buttons with intent
I have created an AppIntent and added it to shortcuts to be able to read by Siri. When I say the phrase, the Siri intent dialog appears just fine. I have added a custom SwiftUI View inside Siri dialog box with 2 buttons with intents. The callback or handling of those buttons is not working when initiated via Siri. It works fine when I initiate it in shortcuts. I tried using the UIButton without the intent action as well but it did not work. Here is the code. static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "My Custom Intent" static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = false @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some ShowsSnippetView & ProvidesDialog { return .result(dialog: "Here are the details of your order"), content: { OrderDetailsView() } } struct OrderDetailsView { var body: some View { HStack { if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { Button(intent: ModifyOrderIntent(), label : { Text("Modify Order") }) Button(intent: CancelOrderIntent(), label : { Text("Cancel Order") }) } } } } struct ModifyOrderIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Modify Order" static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some OpensIntent { // performs the deeplinking to app to a certain page to modify the order } } struct CancelOrderIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Cancel Order" static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some OpensIntent { // performs the deeplinking to app to a certain page to cancel the order } } Button(action: { if let url = URL(string: "myap://open-order") { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } }

App Transfer and Siri Shortcuts Intents backwards compatibility
Hi, I am currently working on an App Transfer from Company A to Company B but can't find any documentation about what happens to existing Siri Shortcuts working via App Extension intents. I have separated the rest of the post in 2 sections: one what summarizes my current understanding and the other with some questions and hypotheses. It would be great to have either someone from Apple to answer that, or someone else share their experience and possibly some documentation that I might have missed. To my understanding, when a new Shortcut is created, it stores the BundleID of the App and of the App Extension to find the application that will execute it afterwards. If I uninstall the App, I can see a message in the Shortcut app that says "This action requires APPNAME but it may not be installed", but I know that after transferring the app the BundleID doesn't change completely, only the team part does. However, it is not possible to test that as this change cannot be done in xCode as far as I know. Another part that seems to play a role here is the info.plist file, but in my situation, there are no entries related to the BundleID. All that being said, I am wondering: Is it possible to perform an app transfer and keep previously created shortcuts working? Is it possible to test this kind of things without having to perform a transfer? I haven't found a way to change the team part of the Bundle ID Is there a place in the documentation that takes care of those things in depth?

SIri trigger command conflicts
We're having trouble with getting Siri to hand off specific trigger words to our app via shortcuts. I want to be able to say "Hey Siri Myappname Foobar" but in some cases if Foobar is the name of a specific business it may launch maps instead showing locations of those businesses. Is there any way to inform Siri, "no, *****, launch our app as the shortcut specifies!"
