I have a swiftui view with Button(intent: ) and using UIHostingViewcontroller to use it in UIKit. The problem is that button not works in uikit but normal button(without intent works)

I’ve implemented an Intent Extension and added support for handling the INSendMessageIntent in the intent handler class. Currently, this intent is automatically visible in the Shortcuts app by default. However, for security reasons (as it involves handling phone numbers), I want to restrict the use of this intent to Siri only and ensure it does not appear in the Shortcuts app. Has anyone encountered this requirement before or knows a way to prevent the intent from appearing in the Shortcuts app, while still keeping it functional via Siri? Looking forward to your suggestions!

After building my app with Xcode 16 beta 6 I'm getting this warning in my AppIntents. Encountered a non-optional type for parameter: computer. Conformance to the following AppIntent protocols requires all parameter types to be optional: AppIntents.WidgetConfigurationIntent, AppIntents.ControlConfigurationIntent The intent looks something like this struct WakeUp: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent, PredictableIntent { @Parameter(title: "intent.param.computer", requestValueDialog:"intent.param.request_dialog.computer") var computer: ComputerEntity init(computer: ComputerEntity) { self.computer = computer } init() { } public static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Wake Up \(\.$computer)") } static var predictionConfiguration: some IntentPredictionConfiguration { IntentPrediction(parameters: (\.$computer)) { computer in DisplayRepresentation( title: "Wake Up \(computer)" ) } } @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { } } According to the docs though specifying optional is how we say if the value is required or not. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/adding-parameters-to-an-app-intent#Make-a-parameter-optional-or-required So is this warning accurate? If so, how do I specify that a parameter is required by the intent now?

I am implementing a new Intents UI Extension and am noticing that the viewWillDisappear, viewDidDisappear, and deinit methods are not being called on my UIViewController that implements INUIHostedViewControlling, when pressing the "Done" button and dismissing the UIViewController. This causes the memory for the UI Extension to slowly increase each time I re-run the UI Extension until it reaches the 120MB limit and crashes. Any ideas as to what's going on here and how to solve this issue?

Hi all, I'm working on a really basic counter app as a way to explore SwiftData and have come across some behavior that I don't understand. I have a very simple App Intent that increments a user-specified counter in my app. The intent doesn't throw any errors and correctly updates the CoreData store but, when I switch back to my app from the Shortcuts app (where I'm testing the app intent), the view hasn't updated. Closing and re-opening the app shows the incremented counter value but I'd like to know if it's possible to have my app's UI update when the CoreData store is updated from outside the app without relaunching the whole app. For some brief context, here's my view and the App Intent: struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var counters: [Counter] // ... var body: some View { NavigationStack { List { ForEach(counters) { counter in CounterRowItem(counter: counter) } .onDelete(perform: deleteItems) } // ... } } struct IncrementCounterIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Increment Counter" @Parameter(title: "Name", optionsProvider: CounterOptionsProvider()) var name: String func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<Int> { let provider = try CounterProvider() guard let counter = try provider.fetchCounters().first(where: { $0.name == name }) else { print("Couldn't find counter with name '\(name)'") return .result(value: 0) } counter.count += 1 try provider.context.save() return .result(value: counter.count) } private final class CounterOptionsProvider: DynamicOptionsProvider { func results() async throws -> [String] { try CounterProvider().fetchCounters().map { $0.name } } } }

I've been following along with "App Shortcuts" development but cannot get Siri to run my Intent. The intent on its own works in Shortcuts, along with a couple others that aren't in the AppShortcutsProvder structure. I keep getting the following two errors, but cannot figure out why this is occurring with documentation or other forum posts. No ConnectionContext found for 12909953344 Attempted to fetch App Shortcuts, but couldn't find the AppShortcutsProvider. Here are the relevant snippets of code - (1) The AppIntent definition struct SetBrightnessIntent: AppIntent { static var title = LocalizedStringResource("Set Brightness") static var description = IntentDescription("Set Glass Display Brightness") @Parameter(title: "Level") var level: Int? static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Set Brightness to \(\.$level)%") } func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { guard let level = level else { throw $level.needsValueError("Please provide a brightness value") } if level > 100 || level <= 0 { throw $level.needsValueError("Brightness must be between 1 and 100") } // do stuff with level return .result() } } (2) The AppShortcutsProvider (defined in my iOS app target, there are no other targets) struct MyAppShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var shortcutTileColor: ShortcutTileColor = .grayBlue @AppShortcutsBuilder static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: SetBrightnessIntent(), phrases: [ "set \(.applicationName) brightness to \(\.$level)", "set \(.applicationName) brightness to \(\.$level) percent" ], shortTitle: LocalizedStringResource("Set Glass Brightness"), systemImageName: "sun.max" ) } } Does anything here look wrong? Is there some magical key that I need to specify in Info.plist to get Siri to recognize the AppShortcutsProvider? On Xcode 16.2 and iOS 18.2 (non-beta).

I have an app intent for interactive widgets. when I touch the toggle, the app intent perform to request location. func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { var mark: LocationService.Placemark? do { mark = try await AsyncLocationServive.shared.requestLocation() print("[Widget] ConnectHandleIntent: \(mark)") } catch { WidgetHandler.shared.error = .locationUnauthorized print("[Widget] ConnectHandleIntent: \(WidgetHandler.shared.error!)") } return .result() } @available(iOSApplicationExtension 13.0, *) @available(iOS 13.0, *) final class AsyncLocationServive: NSObject, CLLocationManagerDelegate { static let shared = AsyncLocationServive() private let manager: CLLocationManager private let locationSubject: PassthroughSubject<Result<LocationService.Placemark, LocationService.Error>, Never> = .init() lazy var geocoder: CLGeocoder = { let geocoder = CLGeocoder() return geocoder }() @available(iOSApplicationExtension 14.0, *) @available(iOS 14.0, *) var isAuthorizedForWidgetUpdates: Bool { manager.isAuthorizedForWidgetUpdates } override init() { manager = CLLocationManager() super.init() manager.delegate = self } func requestLocation() async throws -> LocationService.Placemark { let result: Result<LocationService.Placemark, LocationService.Error> = try await withUnsafeThrowingContinuation { continuation in var cancellable: AnyCancellable? var didReceiveValue = false cancellable = locationSubject.sink( receiveCompletion: { _ in if !didReceiveValue { // subject completed without a value… continuation.resume(throwing: LocationService.Error.emptyLocations) } }, receiveValue: { value in // Make sure we only send a value once! guard !didReceiveValue else { return } didReceiveValue = true // Cancel current sink cancellable?.cancel() // We either got a location or an error continuation.resume(returning: value) } ) // Now that we monitor locationSubject, ask for the location DispatchQueue.global().async { self.manager.requestLocation() } } switch result { case .success(let location): // We got the location! return location case .failure(let failure): // We got an error :( throw failure } } // MARK: CLLocationManagerDelegate func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) { defer { manager.stopUpdatingLocation() } guard let location = locations.first else { locationSubject.send(.failure(.emptyLocations)) return } debugPrint("[Location] location: \(location.coordinate)") manager.stopUpdatingLocation() if geocoder.isGeocoding { geocoder.cancelGeocode() } geocoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location) { [weak self] marks, error in guard let mark = marks?.last else { self?.locationSubject.send(.failure(.emptyMarks)) return } debugPrint("[Location] mark: \(mark.description)") self?.locationSubject.send(.success(mark)) } } func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) { locationSubject.send(.failure(.errorMsg(error.localizedDescription))) } } I found it had not any response when the app intent performed. And there is a location logo tips in the top left corner of phone screen.

I have shortcuts up and running and I have my custom response added to my completion handler since day1. Recently I upgraded to iOS18, and found out the app I develop can not display the custom response. I test the app on iOS17.6, the display of custom response is no problem. The situation is exactly like the problem posted on 2018: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/109324 Can anyone help me or have the same bugs? Thank you so much! Happy 2025

If you add a (SiriKit / Widget) intent definition file to an Xcode project and then translate it into another language, the build of the iOS app only works until you close the project. As soon as you open the project again, you get the error message with the next build: Unexpected duplicate tasks A workaround for this bug is, that you convert the folder (where the intent file is located) in Xcode to a group. After that every thing works without problems. Steps to reproduce: Create a new iOS project Add a localization to the project (German for example) Add a SiriKit Intent Definition File Localize the SiriKit Intent Definition File Build the project (should work without errors) Close the project Open the project again Build the project again Expected result: The project builds without problems Current result: The project doesn’t build and returns the error: Unexpected duplicate tasks Is this a known problem? Is there a way to solve this without switching to Xcode groups (instead of folders)

Exploring AppIntents and Shortcuts. No matter what I try Siri won't understand parameters in an initial spoken phrase. For example, if I ask: "Start my planning for School in TestApp", Siri responds: "What's plan?", I say: "School" and Siri responds "Ok, starting Shool plan" What am I missing so it won't pick up parameters right away? Logs inside func entities(matching string: String) are only called after "What's plan?" question and me answering "School". No logs after the initial phrase Tried to use Apple's Trails example as a reference but with no luck

I’m trying to use a Decimal as a @Property in my AppEntity, but using the following code shows me a compiler error. I’m using Xcode 16.1. The documentation notes the following: You can use the @Parameter property wrapper with common Swift and Foundation types: Primitives such as Bool, Int, Double, String, Duration, Date, Decimal, Measurement, and URL. Collections such as Array and Set. Make sure the collection’s elements are of a type that’s compatible with IntentParameter. Everything works fine for other primitives as bools, strings and integers. How do I use the Decimal though? Code struct MyEntity: AppEntity { var id: UUID @Property(title: "Amount") var amount: Decimal // … } Compiler Error This error appears at the line of the @Property definition: Generic class 'EntityProperty' requires that 'Decimal' conform to '_IntentValue'

I have developed a standalone WatchOS app which runs a stopwatch. I want to develop a shortcut that launches the stopwatch. So far I have created the Intent file, and added the basic code (shown below) but the intent doesn't show in the shortcuts app. In the build, I can see the intent metadata is extracted, so it can see it, but for some reason it doesn't show in the watch. I downloaded Apple's demo Intent app and the intents show in the watch there. The only obvious difference is that the Apple app is developed as an iOS app with a WatchOS companion, whereas mine is standalone. Can anyone point me to where I should look for an indicator of the problem? Many thanks! // // StartStopwatch.swift // LapStopWatchMaster import AppIntents import Foundation struct StartStopWatchAppIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Start Stopwatch" static let description = IntentDescription("Starts the stopwatch and subsequently triggers a lap.") static let openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { // Implement your app logic here return .result(value: "Started stopwatch.") } }

Hello! I'm trying to donate an Intent to iOS using IntentDonationManager, following the methods described in the documentaion. try await IntentDonationManager.shared.donate(intent: MyIntent()) // succeeded However, I'm not seeing any effect of this action anywhere in the system (iOS 17 and 16). I have debugged it on both the simulator and a physical device, and I have also enabled the "Display Recent Shortcuts" toggle in the developer settings, but I still don't see any relevant suggestions appearing. Similarly, the issue also occurs with the old SiriKit framework, where INInteraction.donate(completion:) doesn't seem to have any observable effect. I recall that in iOS 15, the simulator would immediately present the donated Shortcut action on the lock screen and Spotlight page. However, starting from iOS 16 and continuing to the current iOS 17 beta 1/2, I haven't been able to achieve the same behavior using the same code. Another similar report: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723109 So is there any way to test or verify the results of this donation action?

Hi! SiriTipView(intent:) shows the first phrase for my App Shortcut, but unlike ShortcutsLink(), does not use the localized applicationName. Hence the phrase shown does not work 😬 Is this a known limitation, any workarounds?

Imagine we have an Xcode workspace containing two projects: MyLibrary.xcodeproj holding a framework target MyShortcutsApp.xcodeproj holding an app target which consumes MyLibrary framework Both targets define App Intents and the ones from MyLibrary are exposed via AppIntentsPackage accordingly. When trying to wrap the App Intent from framework as App Shortcut and passing localized AppShortcutPhrases I do see the following compile error: ".../Resources/de.lproj/AppShortcuts.strings:11:1: error: This AppShortcut does not map to a known action (MyLibraryIntent specified). (in target 'MyShortcutsApp' from project 'MyShortcutsApp')" If I use the same localized App Shortcut phrases for an App Intent which is locally defined in the app target, everything works fine and also if I use the framework-provided App Intent in and App Shortcut without passing any localized phrases. This is happening with Xcode 16.0 (16A242d), with 16.1 (16B40) and with 16.2 beta 2 (16C5013f). I already raised this issue via FB15701779 which contains a sample project to reproduce and to further analyze the issue. Thanks for any hint on how to solve that. Frank

I am implementing a couple custom intents in my app. Having completed the implementation of the custom intent definitions and the intent handlers which presumably should be called on voice command based on the suggestedInovocationPhrase, I am getting stumped with just getting IOS to recognize my shortcut donation. While the shortcut donation is executed multiple times from the view that I am trying to create the shortcut for, it is never being displayed in the shortcut app or on my lock screen as having been donated. In my settings App, I have turned on (under Developer) "Display Recent Shortcuts" and "Display Donations on Lock Screen". Here is the code that is executing each time I think I am making a donation: - (NSUserActivity *) CreateMyShortcut {     NSUserActivity *newActivity = [[NSUserActivity alloc] initWithActivityType: kMyShortCutActivityType];          if (@available(iOS 12.0, *)) {         newActivity.persistentIdentifier = kMyShortCutActivityType;         newActivity.eligibleForSearch = TRUE;         newActivity.eligibleForPrediction = TRUE;                  CSSearchableItemAttributeSet *attributeSet = [[CSSearchableItemAttributeSet alloc] initWithContentType: UTTypeImage];                  newActivity.title = @"My Shortcut";         attributeSet.contentDescription = @"description";                  newActivity.suggestedInvocationPhrase = @"Create Widget";                  UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"MyApp_Icon.jpg"];         NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)];         attributeSet.thumbnailData = imageData;                  newActivity.contentAttributeSet = attributeSet;     }     return newActivity; } This is called from the view that I want to create the shortcut for with the following code:     // Donate a shortcut to allow Siri to assist with creating a parts list     NSUserActivity *activity = [[MyDonationManager sharedInstance] CreateMyShortcut];     NSLog(@"Donating Siri Shortcut");     [activity becomeCurrent]; Is there something else I need to do?

Hi! When my device is set to English, both search and the Shortcuts up automatically show multiple shortcuts parametrised for each value of the AppEnum - which is what I expected. When my device is set to German, I get only the basic AppShortcut without the (optional) parameter. I am using an AppEnum (see below) for the parametrised phrases and localise the phrases into German with an AppShortcuts String Catalog added to my project. Everything else seems to work, I can use my AppShortcut in the Shortcuts app and invoke it via Siri in both English and German. The Shortcuts app displays the values correctly using the localized strings. Any ideas? import AppIntents class ApolloShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: GetIntent(), phrases: [ "Get data from \(.applicationName)", "Get data from \(.applicationName) for \(\.$day)", "Get data from \(.applicationName) for the \(\.$day)" ], shortTitle: "Get Data", systemImageName: "wand.and.sparkles") } } enum ForecastDays: String, AppEnum { static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "Day" static var caseDisplayRepresentations: [Self : DisplayRepresentation] = [ .today: DisplayRepresentation(title: LocalizedStringResource("today", table: "Days")), .tomorrow: DisplayRepresentation(title: LocalizedStringResource("tomorrow", table: "Days")), .dayAfterTomorrow: DisplayRepresentation(title: LocalizedStringResource("dayAfterTomorrow", table: "Days")) ] case today case tomorrow case dayAfterTomorrow var displayName: String { String(localized: .init(rawValue), table: "Days") } }

Hi, I'm implementing InSendMessageIntent handling in our app. I can handle InSendMessageIntent through extension, but handling also includes business logic like authorisation status and some heavy operation which I can't expose from the main target. I tried to handle it in-app, but func application(_ application: UIApplication, handlerFor intent: INIntent) -> Any? didn't trigger. At the first glance the configuration looks correct - the InSendMessageIntent is added under INIntentsSupported and UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes is set to YES in info.plist. After that reply with message button disappeared from the incoming Voip callKit screen. So I had a question - Is this intent possible to be handled in-app?

I'm attempting to migrate my app's Homescreen widget from using the old SiriKit Intent system to the new AppIntent system but running into an issue. This WWDC video is the main source of information I have been going off of. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/tech-talks/10168/ The problem I'm having is no matter what config I try, as soon as I upgrade to the new app with the AppIntent Widget, all the current widgets on the homescreen stop working, and just show a black screen. Deleting and re-adding the widget to the homescreen from scratch works fine though. I found someone else with a similar issue here on the Apple developer forums, but it didn't look like there was much information or resolution. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759751 https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/14678285 I used XCode's built in Intent migration UI to create the new CustomIntentMigratedAppIntent which should help migrate the old widgets to the new system. I also double-checked all the names and variable types, and the automatically generated file seems to be correct. I even went ahead and created a brand new empty app with the same app and extension bundle id, and made a hard coded widget which contains the migrated intents, just to make sure nothing in my widget or app code is wrong. And even with the empty app with hardcoded views, the widget is still dead after upgrading the app. It almost seems like the widget is getting disassociated from the app. Even though the app has a new name, the old widget will still show the old name, the widget also does not give any option to edit it, only delete it. And on the new app, I am able to attach my debugger to the widget extension process, but no code inside my timeline, intent, or entity seem to ever be called/run. I looked at the Console log while forcing a refresh of the widget, and I've attached the full logs here, and there is a lot in there about it refreshing widgets. SEE LOGS HERE: Tomer_Logs.txt But one line that stands out, is this error which appears every time the old widget is refreshed [com.shemeshapps.MinecraftServerStatus::com.shemeshapps.MinecraftServerStatus.MinecraftServerStatusHSWidget:MinecraftServerStatusHSWidget:-5734839072461827392] Reload failed; 0 retries remaining: ChronoCoreErrorDomain (1) Error Domain=ChronoCoreErrorDomain Code=1 "Unknown extension process" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unknown extension process} Any help in greatly appreciated, Either issues you think might be causing this, or any tips on debugging further! Thanks! I've gone ahead and filled a Feedback, as well as submitted a DTS issue, as this is a release blocker. (The feedback contains the new and old project files to allow anyone to reproduce.)

I'm curious if anyone else has figured out why an intent defined in the intents file never seems to appear in the Shortcuts app on MacOS. I'm following the steps outlined in "Meet Shortcuts for MacOS" from WWDC 2021. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10232 I build and run my app, launch Shortcuts, and the intent I defined refuses to show up! There's one caveat - I allowed Xcode to update to 16.1, and mysteriously the intent became available in Shortcuts.app. When I went to add a second intent, I see the same as above - it simply never shows up in Shortcuts.app. I have a few intents I'd like to write/add, but this build/test cycle is really slowing me down. This app is a completely fresh Swift-AppKit app, I've never archived it, so there shouldn't be more than one copy on disk. I have also cleaned the build folder, restarted Xcode, restarted Shortcuts, restarted my machine entirely... Anyone see this before and find a workaround? Any advice on how to give Shortcuts.app a kick in the rear to try and find my second intent?
