When in Safari, you can say something like, "Siri, text this link to mom" or "Siri, save this link to reminders" and it will do it with the currently viewed link. Shortcuts also has a "Get what's on screen" action that can be added. How do I expose the user's current context to my App Intent?

While Implementing Wallet Intent Extension, and after verification The only message i get is Cannot Add Card There are no available cards to add. Any help here is appreciated.

My App has several resources that I'd like to spring open through App Intents. For example a series of Dictionaries. These resources however in the app are behind a log in (for security) and are entitlements that are purchased. They may own 4 of 7 dictionaries. If I want to have an intent that says, "Open Dictionary: (Dict Name)" how do I best handle situations where the user may no longer be logged in or have the entitlement for that specific dictionary? Thanks

I have an app that currently supports as low as iOS 16. I'd like to add some app intents to it that allow customization using the WidgetConfigurationIntent API that's only available on iOS 17 and later. Is there a way to build an intent (or other kind of app extension) that requires a higher OS version than my main app's deployment target, and only surface it for those OS versions?

Play media intents suggested via INUpcomingMediaManager.setSuggestedMediaIntents(_:) have been shown on the iOS lock screen in past iOS versions. In iOS 16/17 play media intents seem to be only shown within the Siri suggestions in the spotlight overlay and in the Siri suggestion widget. When the intents were shown on the lock screen, it was possible to open a preview via long press. Similar to notification previews. Preview support could be implemented with an Intents UI extension. Is there still any place in current iOS versions where play media intents are surfaced and a preview can be opened? In the spotlight overlay a long press has no effect.

I have macOS application and I want to provide an action for it in the 'Shortcuts' app QuickAction list. I was using InApp handling to present my intent created in the intent.intentdefinition file as action in the shortcuts app and it was working. However, this action perform a very lightweight task so I intent to have the action implemented as an extension in my xcode project. According to my minimum deployment(i.e macOS 11.0) I found that 'Intents Extension' could be used. I have added the 'Intents extension' target to my main application and created an intent using the intent.intentdefinition file. However, my intent does not appear in the shortcuts app. I have verified it multiple time to ensure I am not missing anything, but still the intent is not present in the shortcuts app action. I wanted to be know, Is this even possible? cause this apple documentation only mentions about iOS and watchOS app. It also does not mention If our custom intent(created using Intents extension) in the intents extension can be exposed to the shortcuts app. For macOS 13.0+, I have used the 'AppIntents extension' and I m able to achieve the same. So, I suppose the same should be possible using the 'Intents extension'

Hello, I have an app with two AppIntents. I invoke first AppIntent with my voice command, then I would like invoke the second AppIntent after the first one. I have implemented the necessary return type for the first AppIntent. My first AppIntent is invoked and executes successfully, however when it calls the second AppIntent, everything inside perform() method in the second AppIntent works but Siri dialog. Siri doesn't say the dialog in the second AppIntent. Below implementation details for my two AppIntents together with AppShortcutsProvider. I appreciate any help. struct MyFirstAppIntent : AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Show My Usages" func perform() async throws -> some ProvidesDialog & OpensIntent { let dialogStr = IntentDialog(stringLiteral: "You have a package") print("I'm in first AppIntent") return .result(opensIntent: MySecondAppIntent(), dialog: dialogStr) } struct MySecondAppIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Show My Usages" func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<String> & ProvidesDialog { print("I'm in second AppIntent") return .result(value: "Listing Packages", dialog: "You have activated Default") } struct MyVoiceShortcutProvider : AppShortcutsProvider { @AppShortcutsBuilder static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: MyFirstAppIntent(), phrases: ["Call my first intent \(.applicationName)"] ); AppShortcut( intent: MySecondAppIntent(), phrases: ["Call my second intent \(.applicationName)"] ); } }

I have added a intent extension with SiriKit. It works fine in iOS 17 simulator, but it always open the app directly on my iOS15 device. I don't know what is the problem.

I'm using the TrailsSampleApp (in the AppIntentsSampleApp project which is provided by Apple. According to the code, if you use the "Get conditions with TrailsSampleApp" and provide a trail that is NOT in the suggested entities, it should pass control to the following TrailEntityQuery extension. /// An EntityStringQuery extends the capability of an EntityQuery by allowing people to search for an entity with a string. extension TrailEntityQuery: EntityStringQuery { /** To see this method, configure the Get Trail Info intent in the Shortcuts app. A list displays the suggested entities. If you search for an entity not in the suggested entities list, the system passes the search string to this method. - Tag: string_query */ func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [TrailEntity] { Logger.entityQueryLogging.debug("[TrailEntityQuery] String query for term \(string)") return trailManager.trails { trail in trail.name.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains(string) }.map { TrailEntity(trail: $0) } } } It says if you configure the Get Trail Info section in the Shortcuts App, control will be passed to this entities() function. However, it doesn't say how to configure it. Any suggestions or help?

I'm adding AppIntents to my existing "ShopList" app and I'm having two problems that I think are related. I can't get shortcuts (or Siri) to work when I pass a parameter to an intent. It works if I don't pass a parameter though. My StoreEntityQuery.suggestedEntities function is not being called during initialization. I have an AppIntentsShortcutProvider defined as follows. class ShopListShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut(intent: FindStore(), phrases: [ "Find \(\.$store) store in \(.applicationName)" ], shortTitle: "Find Store", systemImageName: "cart") } } Details below. I would appreciate any suggestions on what I'm missing or doing wrong. In my AppDelegate "didFinishLaunchingWithOptions" function, I call ShopListShortcuts.updateShortcutParameters. The FindStore struct is defined as follows. struct FindStore: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Find Store" static var description = IntentDescription("Finds a store.") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = false @Parameter(title: "Store", description: "The store.") var store: StoreEntity @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { print("performing intent with \(store.id) and \(store.name)") return .result() } } The StoreEntity is defined as follows. struct StoreEntity: AppEntity { ... static var defaultQuery = StoreEntityQuery() var id: Store.ID @Property(title: "Store Name") var name: String ... } And finally the StoreEntityQuery is defined as follows. struct StoreEntityQuery: EntityQuery { func entities(for identifiers: [StoreEntity.ID]) async throws -> [StoreEntity] { print("entities call") return ... } func suggestedEntities(for identifiers: [StoreEntity.ID]) async throws -> [StoreEntity] { print("suggested entities call") return ... } }

Hello, I am developing a Chat application, and I was able to successfully implement INSendMessageIntent to be able to have suggestions in Share Extensions with some of my contacts. I've noticed that after a day or two, avatars are lost, and 2 tested devices are displaying empty background. When I use my app to send a message, this new chat appears with avatar properly, but just after some time it goes away. I am using: let avatarImage = INImage(url: avatarUrl) intent.setImage(avatarImage, forParameterNamed: \.speakableGroupName) where avatarUrl can be a file created in NSTemporaryDirectory or just a file in my shared AppGroup directory. As you can see, Telegram suggestions work fine, suggestions from my app works well as well when I donate the intent, but after some time avatars just goes away Does apple perform some avatar caching, so when I donate the intent avatars are stored for Share sheet somewhere? Or they always use my local url and I need to make sure it's not deleted?

when i was develop ShareExtension, and I donate a intent to share suggestion, and it appeared on my share sheet, but I launched the ShareExtension by clicked icon in suggestion list. and i executed the following code in my project, i got nil of intent. and extensionContext is not nil. '''self.extensionContext.intent''' I would greatly appreciate some insight of what could be possible going wrong here. Thanks in advance!

So I'm working on a logging app that uses Siri to log diaper changes for babies. There are 3 types of diaper changes, wet, dirty, both. I created a enum for these values in the intent definition file and made it configurable and resolvable. in the resolve function, I added this line of code public func resolveDiaperType(for intent: DiaperIntentIntent, with completion: @escaping (DiaperTypeResolutionResult) -> Void) { let needsValue = intent.diaperType == .unknown if needsValue { completion(.needsValue()) } else { completion(.success(with: intent.diaperType)) } } But as soon as .needsValue() is called, the UI will ask user to select one value, and then crash the app. I tried removing a lot of different params and code blocks, needsValue is the only thing that's crashing for me. If I make the default diaperType parameter as .dirty instead of .unknown, it works. Basically it won't let me work with an empty enum parameter. I get the SIGABRT error and the app crashes. I have like 4 intents. 3 of them uses enums. All 3 crash on the enum input UI. all 3 work correctly when the enum is given a value instead of .unknown. The problem is, I NEED to ask user the type. If I give it a default value and resolve it with .needsValue(), it still crashes. I cannot ask the user for a value. I haver made siri intents with enums input before. And those intents STILL WORK. They were just made for older Xcode versions Is this an Xcode bug? Testing on iOS 17.2 simulator Xcode 15.2

My app has an AppIntent that returns a collection of AppEntity items. Using a shortcut with the repeat with each action to loop the entities, it prompts me multiple times to allow to share the entities (I select "Always Allow" on the first one, but it keeps asking over and over). All the prompts after the first one, shows an incorrect note saying something like: "Previously this shortcut was allowed to share 1 item with …" the count of items shared is always wrong, for example, if I initially selected "Always Allow" for 10 entities on the first prompt, the second says previously 1 item, the third prompt actually has the count right, saying 10 items, and then a fourth prompt (seems to be the last one) says something like 40 items Some more facts: This issue does not happen for example when I fetch entities from a system based intent, like get calendar events. It correctly only prompt for my permission once My app is already on the app store

my app intent is to read the pasteboard and save data to app with swiftData. it worked very well on Simulator, but didn't work on my device

AppIntens can be used as actions when working with Shortcut Automation. iOS offers a bunch of different triggers to start an automation, such as "Time of Day", "Email", "Transaction", etc. Depending on the trigger one can then pass different "Shortcut input" values as parameters to the App Intent. While in many cases the expected type is quite obvious, this is not always the case. An Email type input for example offers Subject, Sender, Recipients, Attachments, Content, Name. Subject will be most likely a String. But is Sender also a String or maybe an IntentPerson? Is Recipients a String (e.g. comma separated) or a collection? Is Attachments a [String], [URL] or [IntentFile]? How to I find out of which types these inputs have? Is there a better way than guessing and trial and error? The documentation provides very little information about supported types in general and I could find nothing about the types used by different triggers. Additionally each "Shortcut input" offers it self as parameter. So the Email type input does not only offer Subject, Sender, etc. as input parameters but also Email. What parameter type does an intent need no accept in order to receive on Email object? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello guys Im searching a way to create, or to use an existent shortcut to limit timetables for certain applications. My goal is not to limit the daily maximum time for using an application. An example: my Iphone would not permit me to use tiktok from 6.00 AM to 8.00 AM Thank you in advance

I am unable to attach the Intents extension. it is showing 'waiting for attach' for a prolonged period.

I wanna add an intents app extension on iOS 15, I'm following the link https://toolboxpro.app/blog/adding-shortcuts-to-an-app-1. It works fine when running the extension target on device, but here comes the error "Could not run Make Uppercase,There was a problem with the app" when I running the main target. There is no exception or breakpoint in Xcode so I don't know what's the problem. Any help will be appreciate, thanks.

According to the WWDC19 video (Introducing Parameters for Shortcuts), the parameters are supposed to be resolved in the order you have placed them in the Intents Definition file in Xcode (see timestamp 13:02 through 13:16). In my objective C implementation, this is not happening. I deleted the derivedData and clean the build file, but that did not help. Here is a screenshot of my intents definition parameters: In my implementation, it seems to first process the parameters that do not have "Dynamic Options" check. Then it circles back and works on the ones that have "Dynamic Options". So in my case, it starts with partName, quantity, dimensions, thickness, width, and length. Then it works on partsListName. Furthermore, while the "Disambiguation Prompt" is spoken/written, the "Disambiguation Introduction" is NOT spoken/written. Is this a bug that is causing the parameters to be resolved in the wrong order, or do I need to do something differently to force it to resolve parameters in the order that I need it to go in? And are the "Disambiguation Introduction" supposed to work?
