Hi, I want to develop an app which makes use of Image Playground. However, I am located in Europe which makes it impossible for me as Image Playground is not available for me. Even if I would like to distribute the app in the US. Nor the simulator, nor a physical device will always return that support for ImagePlayground is not supported (@Environment(.supportsImagePlayground) private var supportsImagePlayground) How to set my environment such that I can test the feature in my iOS application

I have been waiting for the siri ai and doing everything to try to get it, yet I have been stuck on the waitlist since iOS 27 developer beta released, so please help me out🙏

What should we know about testing the new Siri and beta software on iPad vs iPhone if we do not have a space 17 PRO device for beta software testing? And can the new Siri AI be activated on an iPad? Any requirements? Any other testing options? Thank you.

Got new iPhone Boxing Day all works bar image playground uninstalled/reinstalled turns ai on/off still stuck

Is Private Cloud Compute allowed? Or are on-device Foundational Models allowed only? Thanks!

Hi everyone, On the "Apple Intelligence & Siri" settings there's a section titled "Extensions" that specifically mentions ChatGPT. This got me curious—does Apple provide an API or SDK for developers to create custom integrations or use Apple Intelligence Extensions? Or is this currently limited to the Apple/OpenAI partnership? I appreciate any insights or links to relevant documentation. Here's a screenshot of what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/4MuQkIJ

Hey, I'm EU based (Poland). I'm Apple Developer, and I'm not able to test apple inteligence features, and APIs. Is it possible to use it somehow? I get it it's not available for EU, but for developers program?

I’m building an app that generates images based on text input from a specific text field. However, I’m encountering a problem: For short prompts like "a cat and a dog", the entire string is sent to the Image Playground, even when I use the extracted method. For longer inputs, the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes it extracts keywords correctly, but other times it doesn’t extract anything at all. Since my app relies on generating images based on the extracted keywords, this inconsistency negatively impacts the user experience in my app. How can I make sure that keywords are always extracted from the input string? Button("Generate", systemImage: "apple.intelligence") { isPresented = true } .imagePlaygroundSheet(isPresented: $isPresented, concepts: [ImagePlaygroundConcept.extracted(from: text, title: textTitle)]) { url in imageURL = url }

Hey dear developers! This post should be available for the future Siri updates and improvements but also for wishes in this forum so that everyone can share their opinion and idea please stay friendly. have fun! I had already thought about developing a demo app to demonstrate my idea for a better Siri. My change of many: Wish Update: Siri's language recognition capabilities have been significantly enhanced. Instead of manually setting the language, Siri can now automatically recognize the language you intend to use, making language switching much more efficient. Simply speak the language you want to communicate in, and Siri will automatically recognize it and respond accordingly. Whether you speak English, German, or Japanese, Siri will respond in the language you choose.

I finally installed iPadOS 27 developer beta 1 on my iPad Air (M2), opened Settings app and went to the Siri section. There’s no option to join a waitlist. I had Apple Intelligence enabled on iPadOS 26, but in 27, the “Apple Intelligence & Siri” section simply reads “Siri” now. No mention of Apple Intelligence at all! Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a regional thing? I’m in Canada. EDIT: Ok it was a region thing. I changed my region to US and the waitlist option appeared.

Dear Apple Team, I have a suggestion to enhance the Apple Watch user experience. A new feature could provide personalized recommendations based on weather conditions and the user’s mood. For example, during hot weather, it could suggest drink something cold, or if the user feeling down,it could offer ways the boost their mood. This kind of feature could make the Apple Watch not just a health and fitness tracker but also a more functional personal assistant. “İmprove communication with Apple Watch” Feature #1: Noise detection and location suggestions. Imagine having your Apple Watch detect ambient noise levels and suggest a quieter location for your call. Feature #2: Context-aware call response options. If you can't answer a call, your Apple Watch could offer pre-set responses to communicate your status and reduce missed call anxiety. For example, if you're in a busy restaurant, your Apple Watch could suggest moving to a quieter spot nearby for a better conversation. Or if you’re in a movie theater,your Apple Watch could send an automatic “I’m in the movie’s” text to the caller. “İmprove user experience and app management“ Automated Sleep Notifications: The ability for the Apple Watch to automatically turn off notifications or change the watch face when the user is sleeping would provide a more seamless experience. For instance,when the watch detects that the user is in sleep mode,it could enable Do Not Disturb to silence calls and alerts. Caller Notification: In addition,it would be great if the Apple Watch could inform callers that the user is currently sleeping. This could help manage expectations for those attempting to reach the user at night. App Management to Conserve Battery: Implementing a feature that detects draining app's when the user is asleep could further enhance battery life. The watch and the iphone could close or pause apps that are using significant power while the user is not active. I believe these features could provide valuable advancements in enhancing the Apple Watch's usability for those who prioritize a restful night's sleep. Thank you for considering my suggestions.

Hi Apple product owners. I am missing a unified concept which might be derived from the use cases for mail categories and mail spam for the app "Mail" on Mac. I need a recommendation on how to use categories in combination with the spam filter to get most out of it. So I was looking for the use cases for the 2 functionality areas in order to figure out how to organise my mails by using as much automation as possible before I start creating intelligent folders in addition. What can you recommend where I get this information from? I don't want to guess or read a lot of forum contributions which are based on guesses.

Hi! I'm trying to use the ImagePlayground API in SwiftUI with the .imagePlaygroundSheet modifier. However, when the sheet is shown (in the preview or in the simulator) it displays the following message: "Image Playground is not available. Image Playground is not available on this iPhone.". I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.3.1 in the Xcode (16.2) Simulator. Anyone else having this problem? How can I fix it?

Hey I have a macbook pro M1 and I don't understand why but the download of apple intelligence since macOS 15.2 is remaining block at 100% with the same message telling me to be plug and connect to a network

Dear Apple Development Team, I’m writing to express my concerns and request a feature enhancement regarding the ChatGPT app for iOS. Currently, the app's audio functionality does not work when the app is in the background. This limitation significantly affects the user experience, particularly for those of us who rely on the app for ongoing, interactive voice conversations. Given that many apps, particularly media and streaming services, are allowed to continue audio playback when minimized, it’s frustrating that the ChatGPT app cannot do the same. This restriction interrupts the flow of conversation, forcing users to stay within the app to maintain an audio connection. For users who multitask on their iPhones, being able to switch between apps while continuing to listen or interact with ChatGPT is essential. The ability to reference notes, browse the web, or even respond to messages while maintaining an ongoing conversation with ChatGPT would greatly enhance the app’s usability and align it with other background-capable apps. I understand that Apple prioritizes resource management and device performance, but I believe there’s a strong case for allowing apps like ChatGPT to operate with background audio. Given its growing importance as a tool for productivity, learning, and communication, adding this capability would provide significant value to users. I hope you will consider this feedback for future updates to iOS, or provide guidance on any existing APIs that could be leveraged to enable such functionality. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, luke yes I used gpt to write this.

Xcode Version 16.0 (16A242d) iOS18 - Swift There seems to be a behavior change on iOS18 when using AppShortcuts and AppIntents to pass string parameters. After Siri prompts for a string property requestValueDialog, if the user makes a statement the string is passed. If the user's statement is a question, however, the string is not sent to the AppIntent and instead Siri attempts to answer that question. Example Code: struct MyAppNameShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { @AppShortcutsBuilder static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: AskQuestionIntent(), phrases: [ "Ask \(.applicationName) a question", ] ) } } struct AskQuestionIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = .init(stringLiteral: "Ask a question") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = false static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Search for \(\.$query)") } @Dependency private var apiClient: MockApiClient @Parameter(title: "Query", requestValueDialog: .init(stringLiteral: "What would you like to ask?")) var query: String // perform is not called if user asks a question such as "What color is the moon?" in response to requestValueDialog // iOS 17, the same string is passed though @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog & ShowsSnippetView { print("Query is: \(query)") let queryResult = try await apiClient.askQuery(queryString: query) let dialog = IntentDialog( full: .init(stringLiteral: queryResult.answer), supporting: .init(stringLiteral: "The answer to \(queryResult.question) is...") ) let view = SiriAnswerView(queryResult: queryResult) return .result(dialog: dialog, view: view) } } Given the above mock code: iOS17: Hey Siri Ask (AppName) a question Siri responds "What would you like to ask?" Say "What color is the moon?" String of "What color is the moon?" is passed to the AppIntent iOS18: Hey Siri Ask (AppName) a question Siri responds "What would you like to ask?" Say "What color is the moon?" Siri answers the question "What color is the moon?" Follow above steps again and instead reply "Moon" "Moon" is passed to AppIntent Basically any interrogative string parameters seem to be intercepted and sent to Siri proper rather than the provided AppIntent in iOS 18

I am concerned how easy they make it to generate photos of real people. And because it is so easy, people will likely just try it on people without their consent. At the WWDC26 keynote, they demonstrated how you can use any photo of a person to create a new photorealistic image based on modifications described using natural language. I would even describe this as creepy. Anyone who can find a photo of me online, can create a photo of me doing whatever they want! And of course, I have no control over who they share that with. I believe Apple could do better than the other AI companies. At minimum, they could display some warnings about the ethical considerations when using this feature.

Hi, I am modifying the sample camera app that is here: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/sample-apps/capturingphotos-camerapreview ... In the processPreviewImages, I am using the Vision APIs to generate a segmentation mask for a person/object, then compositing that person onto a different background (with some other filtering). The filtering and compositing is done via CoreImage. At the end, I convert the CIImage to a CGImage then to a SwiftUI Image. When I run it on my iPhone, it works fine, and has not crashed. When I run it on the iPhone with the debugger, it crashes within a few seconds with: 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<>>: It had previously been working fine with the debugger, so I'm not sure what has changed. Is there a difference in how the Vision APIs are executed if the debugger is attached vs. not?

I have already updated a few days ago and requested for Genmoji, Image wand and Image playground yet it is still in pending. Really want it to work.

I’m sure someone though about it already. But let’s have ecosystem, where Apple Intelligence uses your most capable (Apple) hardware at first and the cloud service as second.
