FoundationModels coding
I am writing an app that parses text and conducts some actions. I don't want to give too much away ;) However, I am having a huge problem with token sizes. LanguageModelSession will of course give me the on device model 4096 available, but when you go over 4096, my code doesn't seem to be falling back to PCC, or even the system configured ChatGPT. Can anyone assist me with this? For some reason, after reading the docs, it's very unclear how this transition between the three takes place.

Apple Intelligence crashed/stopped working
Hi everyone, I’m currently using macOS Version 15.3 Beta (24D5034f), and I’m encountering an issue with Apple Intelligence. The image generation tools seem to work fine, but everything else shows a message saying that it’s “not available at this time.” I’ve tried restarting my Mac and double-checked my settings, but the problem persists. Is anyone else experiencing this issue on the beta version? Are there any fixes or settings I might be overlooking? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

App Intents migration path for SiriKit domain intents (INStartCallIntent, INSendMessageIntent)?
We're in the process of migrating our app's custom intents from the older SiriKit Custom Intents framework to App Intents. The migration has been straightforward for our app-specific actions, and we appreciate the improved discoverability and Apple Intelligence integration that App Intents provides. However, we also implement SiriKit domain intents for calling and messaging: INStartCallIntent / INStartCallIntentHandling INSendMessageIntent / INSendMessageIntentHandling These require us to maintain an Intents Extension to handle contact resolution and the actual call/message operations. Our questions: Is there a planned App Intents equivalent for these SiriKit domains (calling, messaging), or is the Intents Extension approach still the recommended path? If we want to support phrases like "Call [contact] on [AppName]" or "Send a message to [contact] on [AppName]" with Apple Intelligence integration, is there any way to achieve this with App Intents today? Are there any WWDC sessions or documentation we may have missed that addresses the migration path for SiriKit domain intents? What we've reviewed: "Migrate custom intents to App Intents" Tech Talk "Bring your app's core features to users with App Intents" (WWDC24) App Intents documentation These resources clearly explain custom intent migration but don't seem to address the system domain intents. Our current understanding: Based on our research, it appears SiriKit domain intents should remain on the older framework, while custom intents should migrate to App Intents. We'd like to confirm this is correct and understand if there's a future direction we should be planning for. Thank you!

New project with new AppIntent throws build error
I opened a new project, iOS app, in XCode and then tabbed into the system_search snippet and built the project and got a build error. I can't imagine this was intended, at least not for new developers to the ecosystem like me. I solved it by tweaking a configuration I don't really understand advised here: https://github.com/apple/swift-openapi-generator/issues/796, hopefully that's a valid workaround

Siri not calling my INExtension
Things I did: created an Intents Extension target added "Supported Intents" to both my main app target and the intent extension, with "INAddTasksIntent" and "INCreateNoteIntent" created the AppIntentVocabulary in my main app target created the handlers in the code in the Intents Extension target class AddTaskIntentHandler: INExtension, INAddTasksIntentHandling { func resolveTaskTitles(for intent: INAddTasksIntent) async -> [INSpeakableStringResolutionResult] { if let taskTitles = intent.taskTitles { return taskTitles.map { INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.success(with: $0) } } else { return [INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.needsValue()] } } func handle(intent: INAddTasksIntent) async -> INAddTasksIntentResponse { // my code to handle this... let response = INAddTasksIntentResponse(code: .success, userActivity: nil) response.addedTasks = tasksCreated.map { INTask( title: INSpeakableString(spokenPhrase: $0.name), status: .notCompleted, taskType: .completable, spatialEventTrigger: nil, temporalEventTrigger: intent.temporalEventTrigger, createdDateComponents: DateHelper.localCalendar().dateComponents([.year, .month, .day, .minute, .hour], from: Date.now), modifiedDateComponents: nil, identifier: $0.id ) } return response } } class AddItemIntentHandler: INExtension, INCreateNoteIntentHandling { func resolveTitle(for intent: INCreateNoteIntent) async -> INSpeakableStringResolutionResult { if let title = intent.title { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.success(with: title) } else { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.needsValue() } } func resolveGroupName(for intent: INCreateNoteIntent) async -> INSpeakableStringResolutionResult { if let groupName = intent.groupName { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.success(with: groupName) } else { return INSpeakableStringResolutionResult.needsValue() } } func handle(intent: INCreateNoteIntent) async -> INCreateNoteIntentResponse { do { // my code for handling this... let response = INCreateNoteIntentResponse(code: .success, userActivity: nil) response.createdNote = INNote( title: INSpeakableString(spokenPhrase: itemName), contents: itemNote.map { [INTextNoteContent(text: $0)] } ?? [], groupName: INSpeakableString(spokenPhrase: list.name), createdDateComponents: DateHelper.localCalendar().dateComponents([.day, .month, .year, .hour, .minute], from: Date.now), modifiedDateComponents: nil, identifier: newItem.id ) return response } catch { return INCreateNoteIntentResponse(code: .failure, userActivity: nil) } } } uninstalled my app restarted my physical device and simulator Yet, when I say "Remind me to buy dog food in Index" (Index is the name of my app), as stated in the examples of INAddTasksIntent, Siri proceeds to say that a list named "Index" doesn't exist in apple Reminders app, instead of processing the request in my app. Am I missing something?

Confused about Foundation models
Hi! From my past experience, I know that foundation models from last year have really small context window and this year with the new foundation models. I suspect the context window gets much larger, but if the new Siri AI is coming only two iPhone 17. Does that mean my iPhone 16 will not get that new foundation model models, bigger context.

Apple Intelligence
Hello, I have an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 27 Developer Beta. The “Apple Intelligence & Siri” menu does not appear in Settings. I only have the regular Siri menu, and Apple Intelligence features such as Writing Tools are unavailable. I have already: Set my iPhone language to English (US) Set my region to United States Updated to iOS 27 Developer Beta Restarted the device What confuses me is that this same iPhone previously belonged to my father, and I clearly remember Apple Intelligence being available on this device before I signed in with my own Apple Account. After switching to my account, Apple Intelligence disappeared completely. My model number is MV923CH/A. Has anyone experienced this or knows what might be causing it? Thank you.

Local Agentic AI on Mac using MLX: issues solved with Gemma-4
I was keen on trying local models with Xcode agents after watching the WWDC 2026 session Run Local agentic AI on the Mac using MLX https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2026/232/ Ran into a few issues while following the three setup steps shown in the session, so I put together a small project with the workarounds I used: https://github.com/jdhark-com/opencode_mlx_bridge/ I needed to use another model than the one demonstrated. The main issue I hit was that running: mlx_lm.server --model mlx-community/gemma-4-e4b-it-4bit failed with: ValueError: Received 126 parameters not in model The workaround in start_xcode_server.py is to load the model with strict=False which resolved the issue for me. opencode.json prompt config really helped to get more verbose feedback from the model. Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to get a local MLX model working as an Xcode agent.

Max tokens for Foundation Models
Do we know what a safe max token limit is? After some iterating, I have come to believe 4096 might be the limit on device. Could you help me out by answering any of these questions: Is 4096 the correct limit? Do all devices have the same limit? Will the limit change over time or by device? The errors I get when going over the limit do not seem to say, hey you are over, so it's just by trial and error that I figure these issues out. Thanks for the fun new toys. Regards, Rob

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!

OpenIntent not executed with Visual Intelligence
I'm building a new feature with Visual Intelligence framework. My implementation for IndexedEntity and IntentValueQuery worked as expected and I can see a list of objects in visual search result. However, my OpenIntent doesn't work. When I tap on the object, I got a message on screen "Sorry somethinf went wrong ...". and the breakpoint in perform() is never triggered. Things I've tried: I added @MainActor before perform(), this didn't change anything I set static let openAppWhenRun: Bool = true and static var supportedModes: IntentModes = [.foreground(.immediate)], still nothing I created a different intent for the see more button at the end of feed. This AppIntent with schema: .visualIntelligence.semanticContentSearch worked, perform() is executed

Why is ImageCreator deprecated in iOS 27?
My app uses ImageCreator to allow customers to generate images on-device, and provides a custom experience for doing so. I can see that ImageCreator is now being deprecated without a replacement for programatic image generation. Why has the ability to generate images programatically been removed?
