We are currently experiencing a usability issue in our App. We also discovered this issue for sites in Safari as well. While using Voiceover in iOS 13.3+, we've discovered that VO skips all tables that are using a caption. This occurs when a user swipes to read the contents of the page. We also observed that using the "rotor" and choosing tables, it will not recognize that there is a table on the page. This has been repeated by multiple users on different devices. Our testing also encompassed VO on macOS Catalina and VO worked as expected for all tables we tested. Has anyone else come across this issue?

We have a simple AppIntent to let users ask a question in our app. The intent has a single parameter: Prompt which is retrieved by a requestValueDialog. Users have reported that when using Siri, the dialog for "What would you like to ask?" appears, but if they respond with phrases such as "What is the last album by Sting" it just presents the dialog for the prompt again. Testing it, I find that I can reproduce the behavior if I include words like "recent" or "last". Just providing those words in isolation causes the dialog to be presented over and over again. Using the same intent from Shortcuts does not seem to have that limitation, it's only when providing the spoken words for speech recognition. All of that interaction happens outside our code, so I cant see any way to debug or identify why the prompts are being rejected. Is there a different way to specify the @Parameter to indicate the prompt: String could include any arbitrary text - including "recent" or "last" ? My hunch is those words are triggering a system response that is stepping on the requstValueDialog? Here's the basics of how the intent and parameter are setup: struct AskAI: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Ask" static var description: IntentDescription = IntentDescription("This will ask the A.I. app") static var openAppWhenRun = false @Parameter(title: "Prompt", description: "The prompt to send", requestValueDialog: IntentDialog("What would you like to ask?")) var prompt: String @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog & ShowsSnippetView { var response = "" ... response = "You asked: \"\(prompt)\" \n" ... return .result(dialog: "\(response)") } static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Ask \(\.$prompt)") } }

Hi, The "Siri & Search" option is listed in my app's settings and I'd like to know how to remove it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't listed when I first started developing my app over a year ago and I never added any Siri related entitlements to my app, not sure when it started being there. It seems half of the apps on my device (from other developers) have this listed, other half do not, so it's not there by default. I've checked my entitlements file, nothing related to Siri. Checked capabilities, nothing there either related to Siri. I know my users could go and manually block the app's data from being accessible but I'd rather remove the option entirely and definitely don't want it on by default. Shows up on at least iOS 15 and iOS 16. Thanks! Colin

Hi there, After a crash the log contained the following events that look to my newbie eyes to be a call to SIRI for my configuration files; looking for other mentions of this crash log message brought me here to the development forums and included not only what appears to be a possible call to SIRI but also a possible call to a specific message to be "dictated" to SIRI. I don't know what this means but my WTF radar is going off. Original crash log entries (Logic Pro X crashing) "legacyInfo" : { "threadTriggered" : { "queue" : "com.apple.main-thread" } }, "logWritingSignature" : "76f7997036f9874763e329de45d64ba64b5b5964", "trialInfo" : { "rollouts" : [ { "rolloutId" : "62699e1ec1ff297(xxx)", "factorPackIds" : { "SIRI_FIND_MY_CONFIGURATION_FILES" : "631f72d1de5591(xxx)" }, "deploymentId" : 240000023 }, { "rolloutId" : "6391cacc75b072(xxx), "factorPackIds" : { "COREOS_ICD" : "63957ec73127f(xxx)" }, "deploymentId" : 240000007 } ], "experiments" : [ ] } ^^ In the above log, please note "SIRI_FIND_MY_CONFIGURATION_FILES" In another posted error log in this Apple forum (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706908), SIRI_FIND_MY_CONFIGURATION_FILES was posted as well as a following call to "SIRI_DICTATION_ASSETS". Excuse me wut?

i tried to call my girlfriend using siri and well theres a bug with that she keeps trying to do it but she always fail with every command i gave her, also while using airpods siri doesnt appear at all. im currently on iphone 13 pro

We are using the speech module to detect the voice. Whenever the user says END Task the speech module is detecting it as AND Task. This is happening with similar phrases like END Activity, END Shift etc.., Is there any workaround for this issue?

I'm creating web application which uses browser microphone, there is no problem in other devices like android or PC but, on IOS there is alert, when I'm trying get microphone, "Error occurred in recognition: service-not-allowed", any idea how to fix, Thanks.

Description: Users are reporting an issue on iOS 16.4.1 where Siri cannot be turned off completely. Even when the "Always Listen for Hey Siri" toggle is switched off, Siri still responds when the user says "Hey Siri." This is causing inconvenience for users who do not wish to use Siri or want to disable it temporarily. Steps to reproduce: Go to the Settings app on an iOS 16.4.1 device Navigate to the Siri & Search section Turn off the "Listen for Hey Siri" toggle Say "Hey Siri" to the device Expected result: Siri should not respond or activate as the "Listen for Hey Siri" toggle is turned off. Actual result: Siri responds and activates even when the "Listen for Hey Siri" toggle is turned off. Workaround: Currently, there is no known workaround to completely disable Siri on iOS 16.4.1. Users can try disabling Siri's voice feedback or restricting Siri's access to certain apps or features to minimize its usage. Impact: This issue impacts users who want to disable Siri on their devices, as it makes it difficult to completely turn off Siri. This could also potentially impact user privacy and security as Siri may inadvertently trigger and record sensitive information when not desired.

I have an idea, it would be amazing if Siri could configure the Muslim prayers times around the world, since it is almost 7 billion Muslims in the world.

I made an app using the App Intents to get user string input. If I use the shortcut via Siri the string input provided is incomplete. Note : I am testing my app in the simulator(iOS 16, iPhone 14 pro).

Suddenly Siri can not find NPO Radio 5 in my HomePod Mini's. That is very strange because it has worked for month. The NPO Radio 5 is located in TuneIn and available as App on iPad/iPhone. This is a very personal problem for me, but the question is of course have other users find working Siri phrases that suddenly do not work?

Hello, I am struggling to find an example how to create and show to the user, where it is appropriate, a pop up window with Siri logo (Siri Tips) to let the user know that there are app shortcuts available to him to run some actions in the application. Please advise.

I have update last night to IOS 16.4 and it has completely changed how the voice to text function works within the inventory apps that I use it, appears to want to put in random commas and not recognise the last few words I say, when I say random, literally, every, other word, I say! Obviously this changes context, I rely on voice to text because I have RSI now I am not sure what to do?

Hello Everyone, I am developing an iOS app with CarPlay, I have very simple app with Siri enabled voice based messaging feature. For enabling additional capabilities in Apple Developer Account under Certificate, Identifiers and Profile Tab, we need to take approval from Apple with registering for MFI program or write about our app feature by filling a form provided by Apple. Also i am following all the guidelines of Apple CarPlay. I have applied once fews weeks back still did not hear back from them. My question is how to write to apple in correct manner about my app feature so that i can get approval of CarPlay entitlement enabled in Apple Developer portal ? Is there any particular keyword do i need to write or anything else ? Any kind of help or guidance is valuable for me. Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.

Hello, App review team rejected my app update under guideline 2.1 - Information needed. Asking me : " To help us proceed with the review of your app, please provide detailed information to the following questions. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review. – Does your app include any Siri Shortcuts features? – If so, where can we locate Siri Shortcuts in your app? " Ive replied letting them where to find the Siri shortcut in my app. Has anyone else been asked this question? Sometimes it feel like they reject my app for the weirdest reasons. It would be nice if they had a yellow icon for an Enquiry, Getting the RED REJECTED letter in the email makes my heart stop.

I updated to ios 16.3.1 and Siri still doesn’t listen to “hey siri” calls. Have to manually reset it in settings every few hours. That’s very frustrating. I keep calling “hey siri” in every way possible, it doesn’t listen.

Hello Everyone, I am new to iOS development, and i need to integrate SiriKit in SwiftUI. My app feature is something like when we receive new messages on your app or as a notification message. how Siri will read for you particular message or last received notification message. I am trying to integrate SiriKit in SwiftUI but do not know exactly which function i have to write in Intent Handler or where exactly i have to mention. Please help me or if any tutorial link is available then post here. Any kind of help will be appreciable.

I have implemented AppShortcuts in my app like the below and the shortcut seems to work correctly by tapping on the shortcut directly (within Shortcuts app) for all devices. For two of my test devices, only had to utter the first phrase after app install and we correctly got the notification: "Turn on 'MyApp` shortcuts with Siri?" After saying yes, Siri + MyApp Shortcuts continued to work correctly. Unfortunately on two of my other test devices, after uttering the first phrase, never got the notification, it merely opened my app (which, openAppWhenRun is set to false for that AppIntent, so it shouldn't). Can you help me with any hints as to what may be causing the two different results? @available(iOS 16, *) struct MyAppShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider {     @AppShortcutsBuilder  static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] {   AppShortcut(intent: MyAppIntent(), phrases: ["Get my \(.applicationName) code", "What's my \(\.$service) code with \(.applicationName)", "What's my code for \(\.$service)"])  } }

Hi, I have a question regarding the integration of the speech to text library called SFSpeechRecognizer. I need SFSpeechRecognizer to recognize terms that are not present in the iOS dictionary like medication names, chemistry terms, etc. I would have to add them, somehow, for SFSpeechRecognizer to be able to recognise them. Is this possible? Thanks
