I am trying around with the new Siri Shortcuts and would like to provide a location to my custom Intent.

I found that there is this API for creating a CLPlacemark yourself: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/clplacemark/2132103-init

But when I do so, Xcode tells me, that the Type of expression is ambiguous without more context

I've added Intents and CoreLocation as imports and my deployment target is iOS 11... So I guess it should work?!?

Fun fact is that instantiating a CLPlacemark like so works in Xcode 9, but not in the Xcode 10 beta?!?

Is there a way to get it working with Xcode 10 as well?

Cheers,

Georg

Add an import to the Contacts framework, since the postalAdress paramater takes a CNPostalAddress. The error message should be better, so please file a bug report for a more helpful compiler error.
