I'm trying to use Apple's new Visual Intelligence API for recommending content through screenshot image search. The problem I encountered is that the SemanticContentDescriptor labels are either completely empty or super misleading, making it impossible to query for similar content on my app. Even the closest matching example was inaccurate, returning a single label ["cardigan"] for a Supreme T-Shirt.
I see other apps using this API like Etsy for example, and I'm wondering if they're using the input pixel buffer to query for similar content rather than using the labels?
If anyone has a similar experience or something that wasn't called out in the documentation please lmk! Thanks.

I found what might be a bug with enabling Apple Intelligence when switching languages. When my iPhone's language is set to Catalan, the Apple Intelligence is disabled because it is not available for that language. Switching to Spanish doesn't activate it, and it still shows the same message of being unavailable, this time saying not available in Spanish (which is not true). However, it is enabled when the phone is rebooted.
Once at this point, the bug becomes even weirder. Having the iPhone language set to Spanish and with Apple Intelligence on, I switch the language to Catalan, and the feature remains enabled. After I ask a query in Catalan, it surprisingly understands it and works, but then it gets disabled.
Apart from that, as user feedback, I would love to activate Apple Intelligence in an available language other than my device's language. That's how I always used Siri (iPhone in Catalan, Siri in Spanish).
Thanks!

Lookin for J - is this a safe place for discussing full apps ive built but not submitted or shared , I have maybe over 100 but had been unaware any assistance was provided..
is there a formal process to take to submit an app fro review to improve OS, other than during App Store review.

Hi,
testing latest tensorflow-metal plugin with tensorflow 2.20 doesn't work..
using python
Python 3.12.11 (main, Jun 3 2025, 15:41:47) [Clang 17.0.0 (clang-1700.0.13.3)] on darwin
simple testing shows error:

I fixed this error by copying _pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so where it's searched..
1)mkdir /Users/obg/npu/venv-tf/lib/python3.12/site-packages/tensorflow-plugins/../_solib_darwin_arm64
2)mkdir /Users/obg/npu/venv-tf/lib/python3.12/site-packages/tensorflow-plugins/../_solib_darwin_arm64/_U@local_Uconfig_Utf_S_S_C_Upywrap_Utensorflow_Uinternal___Uexternal_Slocal_Uconfig_Utf/
