After I updated Siri doesn't work. If I try to use it by typing I get no feedback or response. If I say 'Siri' or hold down the side button the 'animation' on the screen starts but stops immediately and again I have no response or feedback. When turning off Apple Intelligence and just using Siri, it works perfectly. But in conjunction with Apple Intelligence, it is not possible to use Siri. IOS 18.2 Beta IPhone 15 pro Max

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

Hi, Apple's engineer. Hoping that you can reply to this one. We're developing a Text-to-Speak app. Everything went well until the IOS got upgraded to 18. AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: "zh-CN") is running well under IOS 16 AND IOS 17. It speaks Mandarin correctly. In IOS 18, we noticed that Siri's Language setting interrupted the performance of AVSpeechSynthesisVoice. It plays Cantonese instead of Mandarin. Buggy language setting in Siri that affects the AVSpeechSynthesisVoice : Chinese (Cantonese - China mainland) Chinese (Cantonese -Hong Kong)

I found what might be a bug with enabling Apple Intelligence when switching languages. When my iPhone's language is set to Catalan, the Apple Intelligence is disabled because it is not available for that language. Switching to Spanish doesn't activate it, and it still shows the same message of being unavailable, this time saying not available in Spanish (which is not true). However, it is enabled when the phone is rebooted. Once at this point, the bug becomes even weirder. Having the iPhone language set to Spanish and with Apple Intelligence on, I switch the language to Catalan, and the feature remains enabled. After I ask a query in Catalan, it surprisingly understands it and works, but then it gets disabled. Apart from that, as user feedback, I would love to activate Apple Intelligence in an available language other than my device's language. That's how I always used Siri (iPhone in Catalan, Siri in Spanish). Thanks!

Given that iOS 18.2 is out and following documentation and WWDC example (limited to iOS 18.2+), I am attempting to use @AssistantIntent(schema: .system.search) along an AppIntent. Questions: Has anyone made this to work on a real device?! In my case (code below): when I run the intent from Shortcuts or Siri, it does NOT open the App but only calls the perform method (and the App is not foregrounded) -- changing openAppWhenRun has no effect! Strangely: If my App was backgrounded before invocation and I foreground it after, it has navigated to Search but just not foregrounded the App! Am I doing anything wrong? (adding @Parameter etc doesn't change anything). Where is the intelligence here? The criteria parameter can NOT be used in the Siri phrase -- build error if you try that since only AppEntity/AppEnum is permitted as variable in Siri phrase but not a StringSearchCriteria. Said otherwise: What's the gain in using @AssistantIntent(schema: .system.search) vs a regular AppIntent in this case?! Some code: @available(iOS 18.2, *) @AssistantIntent(schema: .system.search) struct MySearchIntent: ShowInAppSearchResultsIntent { static let searchScopes: [StringSearchScope] = [.general] static let openAppWhenRun = true var criteria: StringSearchCriteria @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { NavigationHandler().to(.search(.init(query: criteria.term)), from: .siri) return .result() } } Along with this ShortCut in AppShortcutsProvider: AppShortcut( intent: MySearchIntent(), phrases: [ "Search \(.applicationName)" ], shortTitle: "Search", systemImageName: "magnifyingglass" )

I have an image based app with albums, except in my app, albums are known as galleries. When I tried to conform my existing OpenGalleryIntent with @AssistantIntent(schema: .photos.openAlbum), I had to change my existing gallery parameter to be called target in order to fit the predefined shape of this domain. Previously, my intent was configured to display as “Open Gallery” with the description “Opens the selected Gallery” in the Shortcuts app. After conforming to the photos domain, it displays as “Open Album” with a description “Opens the Provided Album”. Shortcuts is ignoring my configured title and description now. My code builds, but with the following build warnings: Parameter argument title of a required Assistant schema intent parameter target should not be overridden Implementation of the property title of an AppIntent conforming to AssistantSchemaIntent should not be overridden Implementation of the property description of an AppIntent conforming to AssistantSchemaIntent should not be overridden Is my only option to change the concept of a Gallery inside of my app into an Album? I don't want to do this... Conceptually, my app aligns well with this domain does, but I didn't consider that conforming to the shape of an AI schema intent would also dictate exactly how it's presented to the user.

I'm currently testing the announce notifications feature and I can't seem to find out how to make Siri read aloud the current currency instead of dollars. My locale is es-CL (Chile). It uses the currency symbol $ and reads as Pesos locally or Chilean Pesos where the number 5000.1 is represented as 5.000,1 This is the notification content         let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()         content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!" Siri reads it aloud as "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Dolares!" which translates to "You have received a payment for 5,000 Dollars", instead of the expected "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Pesos!" -> "You have received a payment for 5,000 Pesos" I've tried changing the development region of the app, interpolating the string with NumberFormatter.localizedString(from: 5000, number: .currency), and with others styles( .currencyAccounting, .currencyISOCode and .currencyPlural) without good results. The last one seems to work buts it's not ideal since it outputs "5.000 pesos chilenos" which gets read as "5 pesos chilenos" which is not the correct amount (bug), it's as is you're not on Chile and I personally prefer it to be a symbol instead of words. I'm testing with my device which is setup with the region "Chile" Could someone help me find a solution?

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with App Clips Advanced Experiences and Apple Maps/Siri Suggestions. We have already contacted Apple Support before, but they are investigating the cause of this issue and it has not been resolved til date. The App Clip is bundled with the main app and has been already available on the App Store for several months. The business running the app has several physical shops and wants to offer the App Clip to show up in Apple Maps and Siri Suggestions at each location. The App Clip is correctly exposed in the AASA file, and it's also validated correctly by the AASA APIs available at https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1. { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": "TEAMID.bundleid", "paths": [] } ] }, "appclips": { "apps": [ "TEAMID.bundleid.Clip" ] } } (with TEAMID and bundleid being the team and bundle identifiers of the app) The App Clip is displayed correctly when loading the website and when scanning a QR code or App Clip code, but doesn't appear in the Maps app or in Siri suggestions. We have set up the App Clip Advanced Experiences on the App Store Connect page of the app, and each URL has been linked to a physical shop. All URLs are in the "Received" state, so they should appear correctly on Maps. Unfortunately, I don't see any "Order" button in Apple Maps at any location card. We tried with both iOS 17 and 16. According to feedbacks from people in the shops, they don't see the app suggested in the Siri Suggestions. I have just submitted a Custom Action Link on Apple Business Connect for one of the shops, but without success: the App Clip doesn't appear. Any idea why is this happening?

Ive been having issues with downloading my apple intelligence for a while now.

Please include the line below in follow-up emails for this request. Case-ID: 11089799 When using AVSpeechUtterance and setting it to play in Mandarin, if Siri is set to Cantonese on iOS 18, it will be played in Cantonese. There is no such issue on iOS 17 and 16. 1.let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: textView.text) let voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: "zh-CN") utterance.voice = voice 2.In the phone settings, Siri is set to Cantonese

I’m experiencing an issue where Siri incorrectly announces currency values in notifications. Instead of reading the local currency correctly, it always reads amounts as US dollars. Issue details: My iPhone is set to Region: Chile and Language: Spanish (Chile). In Chile, the currency symbol $ represents Chilean Pesos (CLP), not US dollars. A notification with the text: let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!" is read aloud by Siri as: ”¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 dólares!” (English: “You have received a payment of five thousand dollars!”) instead of the correct: ”¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 pesos!” (English: “You have received a payment of five thousand pesos!”) Another developer already reported the same issue back in 2023, and it remains unresolved: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723177 This incorrect behavior is not limited to iOS notifications; it also occurs in other Apple services: watchOS, iPadOS, and macOS (Siri misreads currency values in various system interactions). Siri’s currency conversion feature misinterprets $ as USD even when the device is set to a region where $ represents a different currency. Announce Notifications on AirPods also exhibits this issue, making it confusing when Siri announces transaction amounts incorrectly. Apple Intelligence interactions are also affected—for example, asking Siri to “read my latest emails” when one of them contains a monetary value results in Siri misreading the currency. I have submitted a bug report via Feedback Assistant, and the Feedback ID is FB16561348. This issue significantly impacts accessibility and localization for users in regions where the currency symbol $ is not associated with US dollars. Has anyone found a workaround, or is there any update from Apple on this?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m working on integrating Siri into my React Native app using native iOS code and bridging to React Native. I’ve followed the necessary steps to set up Siri support, including: Adding the Siri capability. Adding Siri usage descriptions in Info.plist. Using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider to define shortcuts. However, I’m facing the following issues: Siri Prompts for Confirmation When a user says a phrase, Siri asks, "Turn on 'MyApp' shortcuts with Siri?" instead of directly recognizing the phrase. Is this expected behavior? If so, how can I reduce friction for users and make the experience more seamless? Inconsistent Behavior for Existing Users For users updating to a version with Siri support: When the app is closed, Siri says, "MyApp hasn't added support for that with Siri." When the app is open, Siri prompts, "Turn on shortcut for MyApp?" and rest all working fine Why does Siri not recognize the shortcut when the app is closed, even though the shortcut is defined in AppShortcutsProvider? How can I ensure that Siri recognizes the shortcut regardless of whether the app is open or closed? Other than using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider should i try Donating shortcuts(will that helps for updated user case). Please help me on this

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!"

Hey dear developers! This post should be available for the future Siri updates and improvements but also for wishes in this forum so that everyone can share their opinion and idea please stay friendly. have fun! I had already thought about developing a demo app to demonstrate my idea for a better Siri. My change of many: Wish Update: Siri's language recognition capabilities have been significantly enhanced. Instead of manually setting the language, Siri can now automatically recognize the language you intend to use, making language switching much more efficient. Simply speak the language you want to communicate in, and Siri will automatically recognize it and respond accordingly. Whether you speak English, German, or Japanese, Siri will respond in the language you choose.

I’m working with AppIntents and AppEntity to integrate my app’s data model into Shortcuts and Siri. In the example below, I define a custom FoodEntity and use it as a @Parameter in an AppIntent. I’m providing dynamic options for this parameter via an optionsProvider. In the Shortcuts app, everything works as expected: when the user runs the shortcut, they get a list of food options (from the dynamic provider) to select from. However, in Siri, the experience is different. Instead of showing the list of options, Siri asks the user to say the name of the food, and then tries to match it using EntityStringQuery. I originally assumed this might be a design decision to allow hands-free use with voice, but I found that if you use an AppEnum instead, Siri does present a tappable list of options. So now I’m wondering: why the difference? Is there a way to get the @Parameter with AppEntity + optionsProvider to show a tappable list in Siri like it does in Shortcuts or with an AppEnum? Any clarification on how EntityQuery.suggestedEntities() and DynamicOptionsProvider interact with Siri would be appreciated! struct CaloriesShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: AddCaloriesInteractive(), phrases: [ "Add to \(.applicationName)" ], shortTitle: "Calories", systemImageName: "fork" ) } } struct AddCaloriesInteractive: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Add to calories log" static var description = IntentDescription("Add Calories using Shortcuts.") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = false static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Calorie Entry SUMMARY") } var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(stringLiteral:"Add to calorie log") } @Dependency private var persistenceManager: PersistenceManager @Parameter(title: LocalizedStringResource("Food"), optionsProvider: FoodEntityOptions()) var foodEntity: FoodEntity @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { return .result(dialog: .init("Added \(foodEntity.name) to calorie log")) } } struct FoodEntity: AppEntity { static var defaultQuery = FoodEntityQuery() @Property var name: String @Property var calories: Int init(name: String, calories: Int) { self.name = name self.calories = calories } static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation { TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Calorie Entry") } static var typeDisplayName: LocalizedStringResource = "Calorie Entry" var displayRepresentation: AppIntents.DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: .init(stringLiteral: name), subtitle: "\(calories)") } var id: String { return name } } struct FoodEntityQuery: EntityQuery { func entities(for identifiers: [FoodEntity.ID]) async throws -> [FoodEntity] { var result = [FoodEntity]() for identifier in identifiers { if let entity = FoodDatabase.allEntities().first(where: { $0.id == identifier }) { result.append(entity) } } return result } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [FoodEntity] { return FoodDatabase.allEntities() } } extension FoodEntityQuery: EntityStringQuery { func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [FoodEntity] { return FoodDatabase.allEntities().filter({$0.name.localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare(string) == .orderedSame}) } } struct FoodEntityOptions: DynamicOptionsProvider { func results() async throws -> ItemCollection<FoodEntity> { ItemCollection { ItemSection("Section 1") { for entry in FoodDatabase.allEntities() { entry } } } } } struct FoodDatabase { // Fake data static func allEntities() -> [FoodEntity] { [ FoodEntity(name: "Orange", calories: 2), FoodEntity(name: "Banana", calories: 2) ] } }

I'm a bit confused as to what we're supposed to be doing to support starting a workout using Siri in iOS/watchOS 26. On one hand, I see a big push to move towards App Intents and shortcuts rather than SiriKit. On the other hand, I see that some of the things I would expect to work with App Intents well... don't work. BUT - I'm also not sure it isn't just developer error on my part. Here are some assertions that I'm hoping someone more skilled and knowledgable can correct me on: Currently the StartWorkoutIntent only serves the Action button on the Watch Ultra. It cannot be used to register Shortcuts, nor does Siri respond to it. I can use objects inherited from AppIntent to create shortcuts, but this requires an additional permission to run a shortcut if a user starts a workout with Siri. AppIntent shortcuts requires the user to say "Start a workout in " - if the user leaves out the "in " part, Siri will not prompt the user to select my app. If I want to allow the user to simply say "Start a Workout" and have Siri prompt the user for input as to which app it should use, I must currently use the older SiriKit to do so. Are these assertions correct - or am I just implementing something incorrectly? Using the latest Xcode 26 beta for what it is worth.

Hello, I am implementing an App Intent which asks the user for a currency amount: private func loadAmountList(forNumber number: String) async throws -> [NSDecimalNumber] {...} @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ShowsSnippetView { let list = try await loadAmountList(forNumber: fixedNumber).compactMap { currencyFormatter.string(from: $0) } throw $amount.needsDisambiguationError(among: list, dialog: "app_intent_sim_amount_prompt") } If I start this intent from Siri, the attached screenshot is shown, but no matter what I say ("10 EURO", "ten", "10", "10€"...) Siri never understands anything and keep reshowing the dialog over and over again. If instead I tap any of the choices then the intent execution proceeds currectly. How can I solve the problem? Thanks

VoiceOver does not support the plist property CFBundleSpokenName. This is wrong and should be fixed. Ultimately the issue I am dealing with is that our app name is UWCU, and instead of VoiceOver pronouncing each letter, it tries to read this as a word and horribly butchers our organization's/app's name. Alternatives such as using U.W.C.U. and U W C U are not acceptable. @Apple, I know you're first response is going to be "no, it is working perfectly," but quite frankly you are wrong. I know you feel strongly about this, given your response in posts like this: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/734545?answerId=760084022 HOWEVER, with iOS 18, your argument for "VoiceOver should read what's on the screen" doesn't hold water anymore. With iOS 18, you Apple have added a new feature that lets users customize their home screens and completely remove the name of apps. Here's your own guide: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/customize-apps-and-widgets-on-the-home-screen-iph385473442/ios Quoted from your guide: Make the icons bigger: Tap Large. (In large size, the names of the apps disappear.) With large icons + VoiceOver turned on, VoiceOver still reads the app name even though it has disappeared from the screen. So, your own argument "VoiceOver should read the text as it appears on the screen" is invalid, because there is NO text on the screen. If you can't tell, I'm pretty peeved about all this. There's a reason why screen readers support aria attributes to help deliver the right accessible experience. It's a simple ask for VoiceOver to do the same thing.

I have an app that's capable of playing podcasts via Siri requests, e.g. "Hey Siri, play [Podcast Name]". I’m using INPlayMediaIntentHandling, that is, the SiriKit domain intents, as opposed to the newer AppIntents framework for its ability to select my app for audio playback without the need to specify the name of the app in the user's request to Siri. This works great overall for the many podcasts I’ve tested the app with, with the exception of one. There's a podcast called "The Headlines", and I when I test the app with the request "Hey Siri, play The Headlines", my app is never selected. Instead, Apple Podcasts begins playback of a show called "NPR News Now". Oddly, if the Apple Podcasts app is deleted, my app will still not be selected by the system, and instead, Siri responds with "I don’t see an app for that. You’ll need to download one" with a button to open the App Store. Additionally, if I do add the app name to the request using this style of intent, Siri responds with "[App Name] hasn’t added support for that with Siri." However, I’d still like to accomplish this without requiring the app name in the Siri request. There's nothing complex in my setup: The target declares one supported intent, INPlayMediaIntent, with "Podcasts" selected as a supported media category. The Siri entitlement is enabled. My INSiriAuthorizationStatus is .authorized. My intent handler is specified in my AppDelegate as follows: func application(_ application: UIApplication, handlerFor intent: INIntent) -> Any? { return IntentHandler.shared } My intent handler is simple: final class IntentHandler: NSObject, INPlayMediaIntentHandling { static let shared = IntentHandler() func handle(intent: INPlayMediaIntent) async -> INPlayMediaIntentResponse { print("IntentHandler: processing intent: \(intent)") /** code to start playback based on information found in `intent` **/ } When requesting Siri to "Play The Headlines", my handler code is not called at all. For all other supported shows, the print statement executes, and playback begins as expected. Is there any way I can get my app to be selected instead of Apple Podcasts for this request?

Howdy, I'm following along with this sample: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/making-onscreen-content-available-to-siri-and-apple-intelligence I've got everything up and building. I can confirm that the userActivity modifier is associating my App Intent via EntityIdentifier but my custom Transferable representation (text) is never being called and when Siri is doing the ChatGPT handoff, it's just offering to send a screenshot which is what it does when it has no custom representation. What could I doing wrong? Where should I be looking?
