I downloaded the new developer beta and then installed xcode. I did the downloads but I couldn't download the Predictive Code Completion Model. When I try to download it I get the error "The operation couldn’t be completed. (ModelCatalog.CatalogErrors.AssetErrors error 1.)". I am using the M3 Pro model.

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

At WWDC25 we launched a new type of Lab event for the developer community - Group Labs. A Group Lab is a panel Q&A designed for a large audience of developers. Group Labs are a unique opportunity for the community to submit questions directly to a panel of Apple engineers and designers. Here are the highlights from the WWDC25 Group Lab for Apple Intelligence. Can I integrate writing tools in my own text editor? UITextView, NSTextView, and SwiftUI TextEditor automatically get Writing Tools on devices that support Apple Intelligence. For custom text editors, check out Enhancing your custom text engine with Writing Tools. Given that Foundation Models are on-device, how will Apple update the models over time? And how should we test our app against the model updates? Model updates are in sync with OS updates. As for testing with updated models, watch our WWDC session about prompt engineering and safety, and read the Human Interface Guidelines to understand best practices in prompting the on-device model. What is the context size of a session in Foundation Models Framework? How to handle the error if a session runs out of the context size? Currently the context size is about 4,000 tokens. If it’s exceeded, developers can catch the .exceededContextWindowSize error at runtime. As discussed in one of our WWDC25 sessions, when the context window is exceeded, one approach is to trim and summarize a transcript, and then start a new session. Can I do image generation using the Foundation Models Framework or is only text generation supported? Foundation Models do not generate images, but you can use the Foundation Models framework to generate prompts for ImageCreator in the Image Playground framework. Developers can also take advantage of Tools in Foundation Models framework, if appropriate for their app. My app currently uses a third party server-based LLM. Can I use the Foundation Models Framework as well in the same app? Any guidance here? The Foundation Models framework is optimized for a subset of tasks like summarization, extraction, classification, and tagging. It’s also on-device, private, and free. But at 3 billion parameters it isn’t designed for advanced reasoning or world knowledge, so for some tasks you may still want to use a larger server-based model. Should I use the AFM for my language translation features given it does text translation, or is the Translation API still the preferred approach? The Translation API is still preferred. Foundation Models is great for tasks like text summarization and data generation. It’s not recommended for general world knowledge or translation tasks. Will the TranslationSession class introduced in ios18 get any new improvments in performance or reliability with the new live translation abilities in ios/macos/ipados 26? Essentially, will we get access to live translation in a similar way and if so, how? There's new API in LiveCommunicationKit to take advantage of live translation in your communication apps. The Translate framework is using the same models as used by Live Communication and can be combined with the new SpeechAnalyzer API to translate your own audio. How do I set a default value for an App Intent parameter that is otherwise required? You can implement a default value as part of your parameter declaration by using the @Parameter(defaultValue:) form of the property wrapper. How long can an App Intent run? On macOS there is no limit to how long app intents can run. On iOS, there is a limit of 30 seconds. This time limit is paused when waiting for user interaction. How do I vary the options for a specific parameter of an App Intent, not just based on the type? Implement a DynamicOptionsProvider on that parameter. You can add suggestedEntities() to suggest options. What if there is not a schema available for what my app is doing? If an app intent schema matching your app’s functionality isn’t available, take a look to see if there’s a SiriKit domain that meets your needs, such as for media playback and messaging apps. If your app’s functionality doesn’t match any of the available schemas, you can define a custom app intent, and integrate it with Siri by making it an App Shortcut. Please file enhancement requests via Feedback Assistant for new App intent schemas that would benefit your app. Are you adding any new app intent domains this year? In addition to all the app intent domains we announced last year, this year at WWDC25 we announced that Visual Intelligence will be added to iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe. When my App Intent doesn't show up as an action in Shortcuts, where do I start in figuring out what went wrong? App Intents are statically extracted. You can check the ExtractMetadata info in Xcode's build log. What do I need to do to make sure my App Intents work well with Spotlight+? Check out our WWDC25 sessions on App Intents, including Explore new advances in App Intents and Develop for Shortcuts and Spotlight with App Intents. Mostly, make sure that your intent can run from the parameter summary alone, no required parameters without default values that are not already in the parameter summary. Does Spotlight+ on macOS support App Shortcuts? Not directly, but it shows the App Intents your App Shortcuts are sitting on top of. I’m wondering if the on-device Foundation Models framework API can be integrated into an app to act strictly as an app in-universe AI assistant, responding only within the boundaries of the app’s fictional context. Is such controlled, context-limited interaction supported? FM API runs inside the process of your app only and does not automatically integrate with any remaining part of the system (unless you choose to implement your own tool and utilize tool calling). You can provide any instructions and prompts you want to the model. If a country does not support Apple Intelligence yet, can the Foundation Models framework work? FM API works on Apple Intelligence-enabled devices in supported regions and won’t work in regions where Apple Intelligence is not yet supported

When I use ChatGPT in Xcode, the following error is displayed： It was working fine before, but suddenly it became like this, without changing any configuration. Why?

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!

With apple intelligence enabled I am seeing a 10-15 sec delay in push notification. This is actually causing issue with my alarm system, door bells and 2FA requests. I'm using iPhone 16 Pro. First installed 18.1 Dev beta 5 and AI and noticed this. When beta 6 was released it continued. I put in FB15389900.

Issue When triggering an App Intent using assistant schemas from Apple Intelligence (voice or text) the App opens without prompting for search criteria. How to repeat This can be repeated in the example provided by Apple here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/making-your-app-s-functionality-available-to-siri Download the sample code Build and run on Xcode 16.1 beta 3 Target iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 18.1 beta 7 Trigger Apple Intelligence Enter prompt: "Search AssistantSchemasExample" Expected behaviour Apple Intelligence should prompt the user for the criteria and provide this to the App so that the experience is seamless for the end-user. Otherwise Assistant Intents are nothing more than deep links to search screens. Notes The example uses @AssistantIntent(schema: .photos.search) intent. And I've found the issue is also present in other search intents: @AssistantIntent(schema: .system.search) @AssistantIntent(schema: .browser.search) Questions Has anyone managed to get the prompt to appear? Will this only function on iOS 18.2?

Its been 2 days now, still the Image playground is still stuck at ”Early Access Requested”. Have anyone of you found out whats the issue or any information on how long will it take to roll out?

I have been wating almost 40 hrs or more and still nothing apple please do something how long have you guys been waiting

Just wanted to reach out to see if this is the norm. I see several posts saying people are still waiting for the early access playground app, what’s going on? it’s been almost 48 hours and I’ve received nothing. If this is the norm, then so be it…but even when I had to wait for the Apple Intelligence early access that was only a few hours. Hopefully, this will be resolved quickly. I mean what’s the point of being developer beta testers, if we can’t test the beta?

Ive been having issues with downloading my apple intelligence for a while now.

Am I the only one still waiting for the waitlist? I enrolled 2 days after the release but I didn’t think it would take this long and seems like everyone else is getting in but me

When i’m update to iOS 18.2 beta 1, Apple intelligence is downloading still now! “Apple Intelligence is downloading. Some Apple Intelligence and Siri features may be unavailable until the download is complete” How can i solve this problem?

@available(macCatalyst 18.1, *) @available(iOS 18.1, *) extension CKImageSelectionManager: ImagePlaygroundViewController.Delegate { public func imagePlaygroundViewController(_ imagePlaygroundViewController: ImagePlaygroundViewController, didCreateImageAt imageURL: URL) { } func presentImagePlayground() { let imagePlaygroundVC = ImagePlaygroundViewController() // Set delegate to self to receive the callback imagePlaygroundVC.delegate = self imagePlaygroundVC.isModalInPresentation = true // Prevents dismissal with swipe if needed self.delegate?.presentImageSelectionViewController(imagePlaygroundVC) } } This generates an error in the xcode generated swift header.

I am working to add Spotlight indexing for my app entities as discussed in WWDC24's video "What's New in App Intents". That video goes over the IndexedEntity protocol and the integration with Spotlight via CSSearchableItemAttributeSet. What I'm seeing though does not match the video. In the video, the presenter goes through the sort of progressive approach you can take to getting this data into Spotlight starting with the basics and then expanding to include more support depending on how much the developer wants to do. What I'm seeing is that if you conform to IndexedEntity, your entities will appear in Spotlight using the name derived from public var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation So, that works. Name appears... BUT the next part of the video goes into how to expand your implementation with more metadata for Spotlight via CSSearchableItemAttributeSet. The issue I'm seeing is that once that's implemented, the items disappear from Spotlight, almost like that implementation is overriding the base implementation in a way that no longer functions. My expectation is that an item with custom attributes would use them in Spotlight as appropriate, not disappear from search, i.e. what's shown in the video should work. I've got a sample project here: https://hanchor.s3.amazonaws.com/misc/IndexingTest.zip To reproduce with the sample: Build and run. Indexing is setup in the init() method so it will just run. Go to Spotlight and search for 'Huntersblau', a string included in the content set. At this point you should see a result - good! Stop the app and go back and uncomment the var attributeSet: CSSearchableItemAttributeSet implementation in IndexingTestApp.swift. This will provide custom attributes to Spotlight. Repeat steps 1 and 2 - you'll see now, it no longer appears in the search results - when CSSearchableItemAttributeSet is implemented, the item drops out of Spotlight.

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.

Howdy, I'm following along with this sample: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/making-onscreen-content-available-to-siri-and-apple-intelligence I've got everything up and building. I can confirm that the userActivity modifier is associating my App Intent via EntityIdentifier but my custom Transferable representation (text) is never being called and when Siri is doing the ChatGPT handoff, it's just offering to send a screenshot which is what it does when it has no custom representation. What could I doing wrong? Where should I be looking?

HI, I've been modifying the Camera sample app found here: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/sample-apps/capturingphotos-camerapreview ... in the processpreview images, I am calling in to the Vision APis to either detect a person or object, then I'm using the segmentation mask to extract the person and composite them onto a different background with some other filters. I am using coreimage to filter the CIImages, and converting and displaying as a SwiftUI Image. When running on my IPhone, it works fine. When running on my Iphone with the debugger, it crashes within a few seconds... Attached is a screenshot. At the top is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS in libRPAC.dylib`std::__1::__hash_table<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::__unordered_map_hasher<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::hash, std::__1::equal_to, true>, std::__1::__unordered_map_equal<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::equal_to, std::__1::hash, true>, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>>>::__emplace_unique_key_args<long, std::__1::piecewise_construct_t const&, std::__1::tuple<long const&>, std::__1::tuple<>>: This was working fine a couple of days ago.. Not sure why it's popping up now. Am I correct in interpreting this as an LLDB issue? How do I fix it?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm exploring the integration of Apple Intelligence features into my mobile application and have a couple of questions regarding the current and upcoming API capabilities: Custom Prompt Support: Is there a way to pass custom prompts to Apple Intelligence to generate specific inferences? For instance, can we provide a unique prompt to the Writing Tools or Image Playground APIs to obtain tailored outputs? Direct Inference Capabilities: Beyond the predefined functionalities like text rewriting or image generation, does Apple Intelligence offer APIs that allow for more generalized inference tasks based on custom inputs? I understand that Apple has provided APIs such as Writing Tools, Image Playground, and Genmoji. However, I'm interested in understanding the extent of customization and flexibility these APIs offer, especially concerning custom prompts and generalized inference. Additionally, are there any plans or timelines for expanding these capabilities, perhaps with the introduction of new SDKs or frameworks that allow deeper integration and customization? Any insights, documentation links, or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Attempted to download the Adapter Toolkit linked to from https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/foundation-models-adapter/. Failed on all attempts, with a "403 Forbidden" error. I had accepted the agreement on the first attempt. How would we get access please?
