Overview
- I have a custom type
Statisticsthat has 3 properties inside it - I am trying to return this as part of the AppIntent's
perforrmmethod
struct Statistics {
var countA: Int
var countB: Int
var countC: Int
}
I would like to implement the AppIntent to return Statistics as follows:
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<Statistics> {
...
...
}
Problem
- It doesn't make much sense to make Statistics as an
AppEntityas this is only computed as a result. - Statistics doesn't exist as a persisted entity in the app.
Questions
- How can I implement Statistics?
- Does it have to be AppEntity (I am trying to avoid this)? (
defaultQuerywould never be used.) - What is the correct way tackle this?

You're spot on with that thought, which is why there's TransientAppEntity. There's even an example of generated statistics to show this API off in a sample code project — take a look at the ActivityStatisticsSummary structure in that project!
