AppShortcuts.xcstrings does not translate each invocation phrase option separately, just the first
Due to our min iOS version, this is my first time using .xcstrings instead of .strings for AppShortcuts. When using the migrate .strings to .xcstrings Xcode context menu option, an .xcstrings catalog is produced that, as expected, has each invocation phrase as a separate string key. However, after compilation, the catalog changes to group all invocation phrases under the first phrase listed for each intent (see attached screenshot). It is possible to hover in blank space on the right and add more translations, but there is no 1:1 key matching requirement to the phrases on the left nor a requirement that there are the same number of keys in one language vs. another. (The lines just happen to align due to my window size.) What does that mean, practically? Do all sub-phrases in each language in AppShortcuts.xcstrings get processed during compilation, even if there isn't an equivalent phrase key declared in the AppShortcut (e.g., the ja translation has more phrases than the English)? (That makes some logical sense, as these phrases need not be 1:1 across languages.) In the AppShortcut declaration, if I delete all but the top invocation phrase, does nothing change with Siri? Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? struct WatchShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: QuickAddWaterIntent(), phrases: [ "\(.applicationName) log water", "\(.applicationName) log my water", "Log water in \(.applicationName)", "Log my water in \(.applicationName)", "Log a bottle of water in \(.applicationName)", ], shortTitle: "Log Water", systemImageName: "drop.fill" ) } }

Suggestion for the SiriAI in European Union
As a user from Bulgaria, I would also like to suggest a possible approach that could benefit both Apple and users in the European Union. Even if the new AI-powered Siri becomes available in the EU in the future, it is unlikely to support every European language immediately. For example, Siri AI does not currently support Bulgarian, which means many users like me would still be unable to use its full capabilities in our native language. Because of this, I believe users should have the option to choose their preferred AI assistant as the system assistant—for example Siri, ChatGPT, Gemini, or another approved assistant. From my perspective, this could also align well with the goals of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). If Siri in the EU is required to have the same level of system access and permissions as third-party assistants, then all assistants would operate under the same rules, with the same privacy protections and the same limitations regarding access to system resources. This would create a level playing field while still allowing users to decide which assistant best meets their needs. For users like me, this would be especially valuable because I could choose an assistant that supports Bulgarian, while still enjoying the privacy and security standards that Apple is known for. I understand that this is only one possible approach, and there may be technical or regulatory challenges that I am not aware of. Nevertheless, I believe giving users more choice could be beneficial for both Apple and its customers across the European Union. I would be interested in hearing what other developers and Apple engineers think about this idea.

Best approach for animating a speaking avatar in a macOS/iOS SwiftUI application
I am developing a macOS application using SwiftUI (with an iOS version as well). One feature we are exploring is displaying an avatar that reads or speaks dynamically generated text produced by an AI service. The basic flow would be: Text generated by an AI service Text converted to speech using a TTS engine An avatar (2D or 3D) rendered in the app that animates lip movement synchronized with the speech Ideally the avatar would render locally on the device. Questions: What Apple frameworks would be most appropriate for implementing a speaking avatar? SceneKit RealityKit SpriteKit (for 2D avatars) Is there any recommended way to drive lip-sync animation from speech audio using Apple frameworks? Does AVSpeechSynthesizer expose phoneme or viseme timing information that could be used for avatar animation? If such timing information is not available, what is the recommended approach for synchronizing character mouth animation with speech audio on macOS/iOS? Are there examples of real-time character animation synchronized with speech on macOS/iOS? Any architectural guidance or references would be greatly appreciated.

No Siri AI in visionOS 27 with a non-US Apple ID
With visionOS 27, if you use a non US Apple ID, if the language is set to English on the country to USA, you don’t get Siri AI even if Siri AI is supposed to be available on visionOS 27 in all countries if the system is in English. iOS and iPadOS are the only systems where Siri AI is not available in Europe. As macOS, visionOS is supposed to have Siri AI enabled worldwide if the system is configured in English. The problem is confirmed with many French Vision Pro users with a French Apple ID.

Apple Intelligence stuck on "Pending" since 1st availability of MacOS 15.2 Beta 1
Once available, I immediately installed the MacOS 15.2 beta and configured MacOS and Siri enable Apple Intelligence. I joined the waiting list, and soon after the downloading process started. I have since then been stuck in Pending. I have recently (yesterday) installed 15.2 Beta 2 (Public) - and there is no difference. I have restarted multiple times; I have left my mac on - connected to WiFi - over night multiple times; I have changed language - no only of Siri but also on my Mac (requiring a restart) - multiple time. I am frustrated that I cannot see what is causing the Pending status- pending on what? I am frustrated that I cannot just start Apple Intelligence enrolment from scratch - no restart button. Any help and advice would be greatly welcome.

Siri AI shows raw TypedValueToContentGraphResolutionErrorDomain error 4 to user
I found a UI/error-handling issue involving Siri AI where a raw/internal-looking error code is shown directly to the user instead of a user-friendly message. Environment: Device: iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) iOS/iPadOS version: 27.0 Siri / Apple Intelligence enabled: Yes App involved: Files & PDF Expert UI/context: Siri AI interaction with a document from Files File type: .doc Observed behavior: I asked Siri AI to create a new note inside a document through the app integration. Instead of completing the request or showing a user-friendly failure message, iOS displayed this raw error notification: “From PDF Expert: The operation couldn’t be completed. (TypedValueToContentGraphResolutionErrorDomain error 4.)” Expected behavior: Siri AI should handle this failure gracefully and explain that it could not create a new note in the document, instead of exposing the raw error domain and error code to the user.

Genmoji developer support
Trying to experiment with Genmoji per the WWDC documentation and samples, but I don't seem to get Genmoji keyboard. I see this error in my log: Received port for identifier response: <(null)> with error:Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Client not entitled" UserInfo={RBSEntitlement=com.apple.runningboard.process-state, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Client not entitled, RBSPermanent=false} elapsedCPUTimeForFrontBoard couldn't generate a task port Is anything presently supported for developers? All I have done here is a simple app with a UITextView and code for: textView.supportsAdaptiveImageGlyph = true Any thoughts?

Apple intelligence feature in macOS 15.1 beta software testing not working with compatible hardware and system settings
I am attempting to install the macOS 15.1 update alongside the Apple Intelligence beta feature, to experience and then integrate into my developing application. I have a compatible MacBook Air M2 with a regional designation of the United States and language as US English, but is however purchased in mainland China. i have downloaded 15.1 but apple intelligence does not display, is this arising from buying it in China?

Tapping Take Photo reloads Image Playground sheet on iOS
I integrated the image playground sheet in my app, however when I select Take Photo on the iOS version of my app it just reloads the sheet. After several attempts I get the below error message. This issue doesn’t occur on the macOS version of my app, where it first requests camera permission before allowing me to take the photo. I’m not sure if this is happening because I don’t request the camera permission anywhere in my app. My app doesn’t use the camera at all apart from the Take Photo feature which is part of the image playground sheet.

Using AssistantEntity with existing AppEntities for iOS17
Hi, I have an existing app with AppEntities defined, that works on iOS16 and iOS17. The AppEntities also have EntityPropertyQuery defined, so they work as 'find intents'. I want to use the new @AssistantEntity on iOS18, while supporting the previous versions. What's the best way to do this? For e.g. I have a 'person' AppEntity: @available(iOS 16.0, macOS 13.0, watchOS 9.0, tvOS 16.0, *) struct CJLogAppEntity: AppEntity { static var defaultQuery = CJLogAppEntityQuery() .... } struct CJLogAppEntityQuery: EntityPropertyQuery { ... } How do I adopt this with @AssistantEntity(schema: .journal.entry) for iOS18, while maintaining compatibility with iOS16 and 17?

Block Apple Intelligence
Hi everyone, Could someone confirm if it's currently possible, or if there are any plans, to restrict users from enabling Apple Intelligence altogether? I understand that we can block individual features using MDM, but I'm interested in knowing if we can prevent users from toggling Apple Intelligence on and off in System Settings entirely. Thanks! Kind Regards, Filipe Nogueira

Genmoji API — are local edits and non-text usage (e.g., widgets) allowed?
Hi, I'm integrating the Genmoji API (NSAdaptiveImageGlyph) into my app and would like to confirm two things: Local editing of generated Genmoji. After the user creates a Genmoji, can the app apply edits to the resulting image (e.g., pixelation)? The edited image would be stored only on-device within the app and never shared externally. Use outside text contexts. Can a generated Genmoji be used in other parts of the app, such as a home screen widget? Apple's documentation and the WWDC24 session focus on inline text, stickers, and Tapbacks, but I couldn't find explicit guidance on widget or other UI usage. I checked the Human Interface Guidelines, WWDC24 session "Bring expression to your app with Genmoji," and the App Store Review Guidelines, but couldn't find clear answers. Any guidance or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!
