Hi, I want to develop an app which makes use of Image Playground. However, I am located in Europe which makes it impossible for me as Image Playground is not available for me. Even if I would like to distribute the app in the US.
Nor the simulator, nor a physical device will always return that support for ImagePlayground is not supported (@Environment(.supportsImagePlayground) private var supportsImagePlayground)
How to set my environment such that I can test the feature in my iOS application
You can easily test Apple Intelligence features in the EU on an iPad. You just have to set the system and Siri language to English (US) and sign in with a US Apple account under iCloud → Media & Purchases.
It even works with sandbox accounts! So if you don’t have a US account, you can easily create a sandbox one in App Store Connect.
Also note that Apple Intelligence is available on macOS in Europe without the need for a US Apple account. You just have to set the languages to English.
