I am developing an app that allows the user to ask it to process the clipboard contents and do something with it. In developing a XC UI Test, I find the app stops while it waits for the user to give permission. That breaks the automation. I tried: let springboard = XCUIApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.springboard") let allowButton = springboard.buttons["Allow Paste"] But that does not work. Is there a way to tell the framework to automatically give the test permission to access the Paste clipboard (or to allow me to write tests to grant this)?

Hi, I am developing a music app. We are using siri media search functionality for a while. We recently had a case where siri would not provide keyword for a search. When user speaks "Play Kid songs" (in Turkish, çocuk şarkıları çal), when I debug I see mediaSearch.mediaName is nil. When user speaks "Play Kids" (in Turkish, çocuklar çal) a keyword is given and we can search and play related song. Normally I would think that siri is somehow censoring the word "Kid". But when i try the same voice search in Spotify, I get a children song search result. I've read documentations and searched web but couldnt find any similar experience. What would be the cause, is there an extra setting for this kind of behaviour. What would be the cause or a different capability that Spotify can get a keyword out of this voice search but not us?

I have a script that stop working since Tahoe migration. The script need to send a notification on the my mac. The issue is this line: osascript -e 'display notification "The task has been completed" with title "✅ My script"' It doesn't fail (return 0), nothing in outputs, but doesn't show anything. I check all my notification settings, but all seems to be right, I tested the configuration of iterm & script editor. And the global ettongs of the notifications:

Hello? Does anyone have a program to "Create Shortcuts" in Swift? With: Program Name: Program Path: Program Image:

I have recently added a SetFocusFilterIntent target extension to my app which is a system utility which goes into the menu bar(Application is agent = YES). I have followed the approach in the WWDC22 video introducing Focus Intent and I have created an App Groups to being able to make the Extension to communicate with my main app, however from when I did this sometimes when I run the app I do get this log line: Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x97cd34700> (Domain: group.xxx.xxx.MyApp, User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd Despite this the Focus mode integration is working correctly on my development Mac. However I used to Archive the app and then Copy the app to my MacBook but when I do that now my other Mac cannot open the app and it is giving me an error. If I revert this change then I can bring the app back to my other Mac as usual following the procedure: Product -> Archive. Then from the archiver: Distribute App -> Copy App. After that I copy the app generated to the App folder of my other MacBook but it doesn't open anymore. During the archival phase now I am even getting this warning: MyAppFocus.appex is an ExtensionKit extension and must be embedded in the parent app bundle's Extensions directory, but is embedded in the parent app bundle's ../../../BuildProductsPath/Release/MyApp.app/Contents/Extensions directory. How can I solve this issue? If I rollback the commit related to this SetFocusFilterIntent new feature the app can be Copied and moved to the other Mac as before. Is this related to the extension or to the fact that I had to use this new entitlement: com.apple.security.application-groups ?

I am creating an AppIntent to be used with Shortcuts and I would like to return a flexible dictionary of values with nested structures. As far as I understand the custom AppEntity only uses the displayRepresentation to store a title and subtitle which are LocalizedStringResource. types. Although I can convert my dictionary into a string I found no way in shortcuts to be able to retrieve the original structure of it and inspect individual elements like in subsequent actions. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance Nick Karanatsios

当用户开启App自动更新后，自动更新App后，App有些功能会错乱。 1.有的会触发旧App代码功能，如旧版本有个选择框，在新版本选择框从界面移除了，但自动更新看，有的用户会还会触旧版本选择框的功能 2.数据错乱，如App录入数字6，发送到服务端变成5.4 现在发现这些问题。都是要把App删除，重新下载就可以。 请问要如何避免这样的问题。 App是有Objective-C，会不会与开启 BITCODE有关？

Is there any way of creating complete Shortcuts automations and bundling them with my app? Specifically, I would like the user to be able to Take a photo and open it with my app Or take a screenshot and open it with my app Of course I could offer a Share extension, but going through the Share menu and selecting my app there is time consuming for the user. I would like the user to be able to configure his or her action button such that it takes a new picture and opens it with my app right away. I can, of course, offer the respective App Shortcuts and let the user combine them into a pipeline with the Take Screenshot or Take Photo system actions. However, only power users would do this. Hence, I would like to bundle this complete pipeline with my app, such that the user just has to assign his/her Action Button to this pipeline if he/she wants to use this feature. How to go about this? I was thinking of exporting the shortcut into a file, bundling it with the app as a resource, and offering it via a Share action for the user to install it, or by sharing it on iCloud and adding the iCloud link to the UI of my app. What is the recommended approach?

Hi! I have defined the following app intent. It returns a result with a dialog to confirm that the intent has been executed. Naturally, that dialog needs to be localized properly. But the String interpolation with the provided format doesn't do that. I specified wide for the width parameter and expect spelled-out unit names. However, in the textual output, Siri always uses the abbreviated unit (e.g. "min" or "s"), in all languages I tested. In the audio output, Siri says "minutes" in English where the textual representation is "min". In German, Siri says "min", so it basically reads the textual representation aloud and that's not quite understandable to the user. struct StartTimerIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Start New Timer" static var description = IntentDescription("Starts a timer with a custom duration.") @Parameter(title: "Duration", description: "The duration of the timer.") var duration: Measurement<UnitDuration> func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { // [code to execute intent goes here] return .result( dialog: .init( full: "\(duration, format: .measurement(width: .wide, usage: .asProvided)) timer started.", systemImageName: "timer" ) ) } } As this SwiftUI-style formatter doesn't seem to work with localization, I tried a different approach with a MeasurementFormatter: extension Measurement where UnitType == UnitDuration { func localized() -> String { let formatter = MeasurementFormatter() formatter.locale = .autoupdatingCurrent formatter.unitOptions = .providedUnit formatter.unitStyle = .long return formatter.string(from: self) } } Usage with String interpolation: "\(duration.localized()) timer started." This works great as long as these two languages are set to the same language on the user's device: [UI language] Settings → General → Language & Region → Preferred Language [Siri langauge] Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri → Language However, when they differ, even this method doesn't yield correct results. For example, I have my general (UI) language set to English, but my Siri language set to German. Then Siri replies in German, but the unit is formatted in English and Siri speaks it in English, so the result is a messed up sentence that's half German, half English. What is the proper way to localize parameters in dialogs for Siri? How can I make sure that parameters are localized to match Siri's language?

Hi there, Does anyone know how to modify this Image compressor Shortcut https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e13d8013598f4f33830386a956a163dd so that the image it creates has the original file name + “-pressed”? Eg “Image_123” becomes “Image_123-pressed” I know of the action ‘Rename file’ but can’t make it work. Any help much appreciated:)
