So when I was on the Settings app. I couldn’t see it, but I updated it and I don’t it why don’t is this a glitch please fix it your friend Isaiah.

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.

I tried this: struct CarShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { @AppShortcutsBuilder static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: LockCarIntent(), phrases: ["Lock my car with \(.applicationName)", "Lock my \(\.$car) with \(.applicationName)"], shortTitle: LocalizedStringResource("Lock Car"), systemImageName: "lock.fill" ) AppShortcut( intent: UnlockCarIntent(), phrases: ["Unlock my car with \(.applicationName)", "Unlock my \(\.$car) with \(.applicationName)"], shortTitle: LocalizedStringResource("Unlock Car"), systemImageName: "lock.open.fill" ) } } but Siri only understands "unlock my car ", not with the placeholder. Siri asks me then for the car, and it understands it, but not in one sentence. Is there something wrong with my code? Also I tried it without applicationName first, and then it didn't work at all with Siri. Is this a general limitation of app intents? I thought the goal was to reduce friction. If the user has to mention the app name all the time, it adds friction.

Hey, has anyone figured out how the “Persons” list in Genmoji/Playground actually works? I’ve had a strange experience so far. When I first got access during Beta 2, the list randomly included about 10–15 people, even though my photo library contains many more recognizable faces. To try fixing this, I started naming faces in the Photos app, hoping they’d be added to the Genmoji/Playground list, but nothing changed. Then, after updating to Beta 3, it added just 2–3 of the people I had named. Encouraged, I spent about an hour naming all the faces in my library. But a few hours later, the list unexpectedly removed around 10 people, leaving me with fewer than I had initially. I’ve also read that leaving the phone locked and plugged into power should help sort people in the library, but that hasn’t worked for me yet. Anyone else experienced this or found a way to make it work? Thanks!

I noticed that the ChatGPT is listed as an "Extension" in the Apple Intelligence settings on iOS 18.2 beta. Does this mean developers will be able to create their own extensions? Or will this be limited to larger companies to incorporate their own models into 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

Hello, we're investigating an option to disable writing tools for some customers in our app. I'm aware of the writingToolsBehavior property for UITextView etc, but we would like to have a way to set this globally without having to update all UITextView instances (or future instances). Is there any API to do this? We tried using UITextView.appearance.writingToolsBehavior = .none and it seemed promising on 18.2 beta, however it introduced crashes on devices running 18.1. The crashes look like: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Have you sent -setWritingToolsBehavior: to <UITextView: 0x14462c000; frame = (0 0; 0 0); text = ''; userInteractionEnabled = NO; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x30067cb40>; backgroundColor = UIExtendedGrayColorSpace 0 0; layer = <CALayer: 0x3009b1ba0>; contentOffset: {0, 0}; contentSize: {0, 0}; adjustedContentInset: {0, 0, 0, 0}> off the main thread? To verify, look for a complaint in the logs: "Unsupported use of UIKit…", and fix the problem if you find it. If your use is main-thread only please file a radar on UIKit, and attach this log. exercisedImplementations = { "setWritingToolsBehavior:" = ( ); }' Similarly, even on 18.2 beta if we used UITextField.appearance.writingToolsBehavior = .none we would see crashes for any search fields like: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Have you sent -setWritingToolsBehavior: to <UISearchBarTextField: 0x141c04a00; frame = (0 0; 0 0); text = ''; opaque = NO; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x301fe15c0>; placeholder = Search Leads; borderStyle = RoundedRect; background = <_UITextFieldSystemBackgroundProvider: 0x3015de960: backgroundView=<_UISearchBarSearchFieldBackgroundView: 0x141c60200; frame = (0 0; 0 0); opaque = NO; autoresize = W+H; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x3015de8e0>>, fillColor=(null), textfield=<UISearchBarTextField: 0x141c04a00>>; layer = <CALayer: 0x3015de240>> off the main thread? To verify, look for a complaint in the logs: "Unsupported use of UIKit…", and fix the problem if you find it. If your use is main-thread only please file a radar on UIKit, and attach this log. exercisedImplementations = { "setWritingToolsBehavior:" = ( ); }' Is it possible to set this globally?

My Playground app has been stuck at Downloading support for Image Playground now for about 4-5 days. I've reinstalled the app, restarted phone multiple times, reset network settings 2-3 times. Tried LTE/5G and Different WIFI networks and it still sat showing Downloading Support. Anyone else having this issue?

I would like to explore the option of restricting system prompts to share information with ChatGPT on my company's laptops. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be implemented? Should this be centralized, or should each user handle it individually?

How long does it usually take to get access to image playground. Its been about a week since I got IOS 18.2 public beta and still am waiting for access to the image playground. When I got apple intelligence only took a few hours.
