Xcode 26.1 RC ( RC1 ?) Apple Intelligence using GPT (with account or without) or Sonnet (via OpenRouter) much slower
I didn't run benchmarks before update, but it seems at least 5x slower. Of course all the LLM work is on remote servers, so is non-intuitive to me this should be happening. Had updated MacOS and Xcode to 26.1RC at the same time, so can't even say I think it is MacOS or I think it is Xcode. Before the update the progress indicator for each piece of code might seem to get stuck at the very end (and toggling between Navigators and Coding Assistant) in Xcode UI seemed to refresh the UI and confirm coding complete... but now it seems progress races to 50%, then often is stuck at 75%... well earlier than used to get stuck. And it like something is legitimately processing not just a UI glitch. I'm wondering if this is somehow tied to visual rendering of the code in the little white window? CMD-TAB into Xcode seems laggy. Xcode is pinning a CPU. Why, this is all remote LLM work? MacBook Pro 2021 M1 64GB RAM. Went from 26.01 to 26.1RC. Didn't touch any of the betas until RC1.

Does ImageRequestHandler(data:) include depth data from AVCapturePhoto?
Hi all, I'm capturing a photo using AVCapturePhotoOutput, and I've set: let photoSettings = AVCapturePhotoSettings() photoSettings.isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled = true Then I create the handler like this: let data = photo.fileDataRepresentation() let handler = try ImageRequestHandler(data: data, orientation: .right) Now I’m wondering: If depth data delivery is enabled, is it actually included and used when I pass the Data to ImageRequestHandler? Or do I need to explicitly pass the depth data using the other initializer? let handler = try ImageRequestHandler( cvPixelBuffer: photo.pixelBuffer!, depthData: photo.depthData, orientation: .right ) In short: Does ImageRequestHandler(data:) make use of embedded depth info from AVCapturePhoto.fileDataRepresentation() — or is the pixel buffer + explicit depth data required? Thanks for any clarification!

If you are having problems and find that you need to downgrade and then image playground doesn't work please follow these steps
Make sure that you have everything Apple Intelligence enabled because it took up to 24 to 48 hours for the image playground app to work for me. Note this is coming from a fellow developer not official update as we cannot do that on the forums. I am only sharing my own experience. It may take some time for the support files like it did for me to become available for image playground again. Sincerely, Donald Kirby

New Siri Wait List on MacOS Golden Gate
I installed the new MacOS Beta 1 on Monday, June 8 and Siri was requested. It is now Thursday, June 11 and I am still on the wait list. The conference is almost over with any interactive sessions. I am concerned that my configuration may be causing a bug. The AppleID I am logged in on the Mac (M4, 24GBs RAM, 512GB storage-130GB free) is not the same as my paid Developer AppleID used to download Xcode, etc. (it is however a Developer ID). This has never been a problem before. Could this be causing an issue? Related question, since I have not gotten the "New Siri" will this actually change the Foundation Models?

Do we need *both* associateAppEntity and to implement attributeSet when indexing App Entities?
I am working on adding indexing to my App Entities via IndexedEntity. I already, separately index my content via Spotlight. Watching 'What's New in App Intents', this is covered well but I have a question. Do I need to implement both CSSearchableItem's associateAppEntity AND also a custom implementation of attributeSet in my IndexedEntity conformance? It seems duplicative but I can't tell from the video if you're supposed to do both or just one or the other.

S5 - Specific Siri Security Situation in Slovakia
Dears, I have reached out to Apple Research and Apple Security but this is NOT really for them. This is a developer topic !! Apple Research and Security are trying to find a malicious code, bugs ect, but what I am whitnessing is different and much much deeper into the code. Apple Intelligence in Slovakia is much more limited then in other countries. A specific security configuration due to EU regulations in combination with Siri NOT able to speak or understand Slovak. At low level this combination with a small PUSH with good timing, makes the devices to completely strip themselves off, of all security and trust certifications. What follows is a blank completely from scratch processed reinstall, where the attacker only prepares the "CORRECT" files and information and all the work is done by Apple system itself !!! The result is a complete domination of hardware using the NPU (ANE) chip, which does all the job. And I mean each pixel, sound, connection ect... What is the MOST ALARMING is that due to the proud declaration of customer data privacy this is the exact spot where if something like this happens, Apple will NOT be able to see it. The Customer is then in an extreme situation, where he knows that the devices, accounts, keychain, bank account, each app, each picture or sound.... Everything is compromised, but online help and the retailers are too short for this and further to this Apple DONT HAVE AN OFFICE in Slovakia. Only thing left are the contracted service (repair) shops, which are capable to perform a DFU Restore, which does NOT help. I have requested DFU Restore approx 15x in the last 9 months. Once you turn on and you only pick the language, there is a GLITCH and you know this is back again. A very quick and not too detailed process: It is a very silent and extremely sophisticated takeover without an ovious crash at the beginning. Using various tools, which I can describe and present examples. One variation is a HTML code a DOM which is recursive, calling functions and cancelling. Too many functions with offset which results in a graphics freeze, overload or similiar.. The object itself is not frozen and it is carefully prepared !! It will mostly copy and clone the target and NEST inside without knowing. What happens here is that this recursive DOM was applied and therefore the SHUTDOWN MONITOR LOG occured. This froze also mds index which blocked the mounting and unmounting of Volumes.... This is ofcourse carefully instrumented not to raise any attention. Same structure can be used in any code, any language, pdf, it can be nested in a wallpaper or a standard image, library, anywhere ... I can provide a proof and a functional script... The install log is showing - Untracked client connected - RemoteManagement which REINSTALLED the OS. After that Launchd skipps almost all tasks on the next run .... After this mounting volumes block, the system will not restart as standard, insted forced to early boot as possible which starts with PKI TRUST and SIRI UNDERSTANDING ... The PKI TRUST is manipulated and prepared and Siri is not called by the system as Apple Inteligence. So with reinstalled and carefully prepared OS, Launchd who skipped most tasks at the start and without proper encryption. There is a direct open path to Siri and her ASR HAMMERING.... I have personally checked almost 10 different electronics shops and checked the console on each Macbook that was free to try. In each of them these four Protolol logs were the exact same !!!! But after that a brutal iphone reinstall and even over lockdown mode reinstall will follow... Can also provide logs and information... And there is a SIMPLE LOGIC PARADOX with HUGE impact. Any document can be signed by Apple in a second. That is how the PKI TRUST was manipulated without any problem. That is also extremely important ... I can present this, but I must know that somebody is listening.... otherwise the only way is press... Apple Research and Security is blind here and I simply cannot get any answer.... If you know anybody in Slovakia, tell them to go to check this out !!! Get this information to Somebody who could just check it please .... This is probably the largest Supply Chain Attack ever ... And all it takes is a phone call to iStores to Slovakia so they can check for you ... From what I can see, now an update is prepared for Siri. It is based on Ruby but mostly Nokogiri and Gumbo. It will be presented as a 8 bit range training for local LLM, as super fast, but really it will be a combination of Hohner Electric Piano from the 70s with 8 bit sound which will use DTrace and its ROOT privileges. The sound is a square frequency which can be used to hide communication or something we dont know yet. And it does not matter anymore... With a direct connection to GitHub or just the internet ... Any code can be signed and stored anywhere .... The codename is ELECTRA, from what I know this tag was used for jailbreak of Siri in the past. So I belive this will be the final act ... Is there somebody to whom I can speak to about this ?? No generic mails ... THX Mike

Apple Intelligence returned to Waitlist on my MacBook Pro
I've been running Sequoia 15.1 since it was released. I soon thereafter was taken off the waitlist and had been using Apple Intelligence until this morning. My first hint something was wrong was that Writing Tools, which I'd been using extensively, disappeared. I tried in another app, and it wasn't there, either. I then looked at the Siri icon in my menu bar - which looks different under Apple Intelligence - and it had been reverted to the old icon. I then checked my Apple Intelligence settings and, sure enough, not only was it off, but I'd been returned to the waitlist. My iOS and iPadOS devices continue working just fine with Apple Intelligence. Only my MacBook Pro is experiencing this issue. Has anyone else seen this?

Do we need to migrate SiriKit INIntent to AppIntent for Siri AI?
Can the new Siri correctly handle SiriKit INIntent? My app uses INIntent like INSendMessageIntent. It is used not only for Siri action but also used Communication notifications and CarPlay and more OS features. Is any migration required?
