Was watching this latest WWDC 2023 video and had a question. I see about 17:20 in, they mention you can now put the shortcut provider in an app intent extension.
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10103/
This works fine by itself and I can see all my shortcuts and use siri, but as soon as I try to call into the extension from the main app in order to trigger updateAppShortcutParameters() or any other code, I get a linker error. Am I doing something obvious wrong? Note, I called it a framework, but it Is just an extension. Cant figure out how I am supposed to be calling this method.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm running into a couple of breaking issues with AppIntents for which I just submitted feedbacks. I figured I'd post them on the forum too for good measure.
FB12701143 - @IntentParameterDependency causing crashes in all AppIntents with Entity Queries on iOS 16
I have a pre-existing AppIntent with its own EntityQuery that works just fine on iOS 16. I've built a totally separate intent only available in iOS 17 that makes use of a new entity and a new query using @IntentParameterDependency, but now the original intent crashes after building and running the app on an iOS 16 device with the latest Xcode beta. The line it crashes on is the initializer of the iOS 17-only EntityQuery, even though 1) it shouldn't be able to see it and 2) that EntityQuery isn't involved in the crashing intent.
This breaks significant functionality in my AppIntents, and I'm hoping this is a bug rather than a framework limitation. The feedback includes a sample project, crash log, and sysdiagnose.
FB12701491 - iOS 17-only CustomIntentMigratedAppIntent stops SiriKit intent equivalent from working on iOS 16
I have a SiriKit intent in my app that I was not able to convert to an AppIntent until iOS 17 because it makes use of an @IntentParameterDependency. However, even though the new AppIntent version is marked as only available in iOS 17 and above, once I conform it to CustomIntentMigratedAppIntent and provide the old intent’s class name, it stops working on iOS 16 devices with an error that the shortcut is unavailable on that device.
The CustomIntentMigratedAppIntent should respect the iOS 17 availability annotation and leave the SiriKit intent alone since its migrated replacement isn’t available on iOS 16.
The feedback includes a sample project illustrating the issue.
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,
I am trying to integrate the new AppIntentsPackage protocol into my application. Especially what I want to do is to create a dedicate SPM package which holds all my app intents and then share that with my widget extension for Widget intents as well as the main iOS app for powering an AppShortcutProvider. Unfortunately I run into an issue here.
I have the following explanatory setup:
SPM package called ProjectAppIntents
iOS target
My AppIntents SPM package
//Package: ProjectAppIntents
public struct TestAppIntent: AppIntent {
public static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "TestAppIntent"
@Parameter(title: "Parameter1", optionsProvider: ParameterOptionProvider())
public var parameter: String
public init(parameter: String) {
self.parameter = parameter
}
public init() { }
public func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue {
.result(value: 5)
}
}
struct ParameterOptionProvider: DynamicOptionsProvider {
func results() async throws -> [String] {
return ["Hello", "World"]
}
}
public struct ProjectAppIntentsPackage: AppIntentsPackage { }
My iOS app
// Target: iOS
import ProjectAppIntents
struct ProjectApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}
extension ProjectApp: AppIntentsPackage {
static var includedPackages: [AppIntentsPackage.Type] = [
ProjectAppIntentsPackage.self
]
}
struct ProjectShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider {
static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] {
AppShortcut(
intent: TestAppIntent(),
phrases: ["Start a \(.applicationName)"],
shortTitle: "Hello World",
systemImageName: "house"
)
}
}
When I now try to compile my app, I get the following build error:
2023-06-25 09:53:47.853 appintentsnltrainingprocessor[44848:2059163] Parsing options for appintentsnltrainingprocessor
2023-06-25 09:53:47.854 appintentsnltrainingprocessor[44848:2059163] Starting AppIntents SSU YAML Generation
2023-06-25 09:53:47.868 appintentsnltrainingprocessor[44848:2059163] error: The action TestAppIntent referenced in App Shortcut does not exist
Command AppIntentsSSUTraining failed with a nonzero exit code
So for me it seems like the compiler cannot find the AppIntent defined in an SPM package.
Am I doing something wrong here or does the AppIntentsPackage protocol not work with SPM packages ?
Thanks a lot for helping !
