I’m trying to develop a widget with a button that triggers an app intent.
I integrated the app intent into my app within a separate app framework. I tested it with Shortcuts and Siri, and it works well—it opens the app on the required screen. However, when I added a button Button(intent: MyIntent())
to my widget, it doesn’t work at all.
The only clue I found is the following message in the Xcode debug console: “No ConnectionContext found for (some big integer)” when I tap on the widget's button. However, I see the same message when running it through the Shortcuts app, and in that case, it works fine.
Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?
My Intent:
public struct OpenTextInputIntent: AppIntent { public static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Open text input" public static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @Parameter(title: "Predefined text") public var predefinedText: String @Dependency private var appCoordinator: AppCoordinatorProtocol public init() { } public func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { appCoordinator.openAddMessage(predefinedText: predefinedText) return .result() } }
My widget's view:
struct SimpleWidgetView : View { var entry: SimpleWidgetTimelineProvider.Entry var body: some View { ZStack(alignment: .leadingTop) { button } } private var button: some View { Button(intent: OpenTextInputIntent()) { Image(systemName: "mic.fill") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) .iconFrame() } .buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle()) .foregroundStyle(Color.white) .padding(10) .background(Circle().fill(Color.accent)) } }
Intents Registration in the app target:
struct MyAppPackage: AppIntentsPackage { static var includedPackages: [any AppIntentsPackage.Type] { [FrameworkIntentsPackage.self] } } struct MyAppShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: OpenTextInputIntent(), phrases: ["Add message in \(.applicationName)"], shortTitle: "Message input", systemImageName: "pencil.circle.fill" ) } }
What I'm missing?
