Foundation Models not working in Simulator?
I'm attempting to run a basic Foundation Model prototype in Xcode 26, but I'm getting the error below, using the iPhone 16 simulator with iOS 26. Should these models be working yet? Do I need to be running macOS 26 for these to work? (I hope that's not it) Error: Passing along Model Catalog error: Error Domain=com.apple.UnifiedAssetFramework Code=5000 "There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.MobileAsset.UAF.FM.Overrides" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.MobileAsset.UAF.FM.Overrides} in response to ExecuteRequest Playground to reproduce: #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let response = try await session.respond(to: "What's happening?") } catch { let error = error } }

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

Apple Intelligence stuck at 100% on macOS 26 Beta 1
Hello, I'm unable to develop for Apple Intelligence on my Mac Studio, M1 Max running macOS 26 beta 1. The models get downloaded and I can also verify that they exist in /System/Library/AssetsV2/ however the download progress remains stuck at 100%. Checking console logs shows the process generativeexperiencesd reporting the following: My device region and language is set to English (India). Things I've already tried: Changing language and region to English (US) Reinstalling macOS Trying with a different ISP via hotspot.

Will Apple Intelligence Support Third-Party LLMs or Custom AI Agent Integrations?
Hi everyone, I’m an AI engineer working on autonomous AI agents and exploring ways to integrate them into the Apple ecosystem, especially via Siri and Apple Intelligence. I was impressed by Apple’s integration of ChatGPT and its privacy-first design, but I’m curious to know: • Are there plans to support third-party LLMs? • Could Siri or Apple Intelligence call external AI agents or allow extensions to plug in alternative models for reasoning, scheduling, or proactive suggestions? I’m particularly interested in building event-driven, voice-triggered workflows where Apple Intelligence could act as a front-end for more complex autonomous systems (possibly local or cloud-based). This kind of extensibility would open up incredible opportunities for personalized, privacy-friendly use cases — while aligning with Apple’s system architecture. Is anything like this on the roadmap? Or is there a suggested way to prototype such integrations today? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or pointers!

Python 3.13
Hello, Are there any plans to compile a python 3.13 version of tensorflow-metal? Just got my new Mac mini and the automatically installed version of python installed by brew is python 3.13 and while if I was in a hurry, I could manage to get python 3.12 installed and use the corresponding tensorflow-metal version but I'm not in a hurry. Many thanks, Alan

Support for Content Exclusion Files in Apple Intelligence
I am writing to inquire about content exclusion capabilities within Apple Intelligence, particularly regarding the use of configuration files such as .aiignore or .aiexclude—similar to what exists in other AI-assisted coding tools. These mechanisms are highly valuable in managing what content AI systems can access, especially in environments that involve sensitive code or proprietary frameworks. I would appreciate it if anyone could clarify whether Apple Intelligence currently supports any exclusion configuration for AI-assisted features. If so, could you kindly provide documentation or guidance on how developers can implement these controls? If not, Is there any plan to include such feature in future updates?

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!

lldb issues with Vision
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?

Accessing Apple Intelligence APIs: Custom Prompt Support and Inference Capabilities
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!

Does Image Playground is On-device + Private Cloud ?
Apple's Image Playground primarily performs image generation on-device, but can use secure Private Cloud Compute for more complex requests that require larger models. Private Cloud Compute (PCC) For more complex tasks that require greater computational power than the device can provide, Image Playground leverages Apple's Private Cloud Compute. This system extends the privacy and security of the device to the cloud: Secure Environment: PCC runs on Apple silicon servers and uses a secure enclave to protect data, ensuring requests are processed in a verified, secure environment. No Data Storage: Data is never stored or made accessible to Apple when using PCC; it is used only to fulfill the specific request. Independent Verification: Independent experts are able to inspect the code running on these servers to verify Apple's privacy promises.

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.

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!

AppIntentsSampleApp Failed to refresh AppShortcut parameters
I've been struggling and Siri support to an application. I have developed it kept getting this error when I run it on MacOS: Failed to refresh AppShortcut parameters with error: Error Domain=Foundation._GenericObjCError Code=0 "(null)" So I found AppIntentsSampleApp and downloaded and buil it and I get a similar, but larger, error: Failed to refresh AppShortcut parameters with error: Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.private.xpc.launchd.app-server AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.assertiond.system-shell AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.launchprocess)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.private.xpc.launchd.app-server AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.assertiond.system-shell AND j And it goes on and on. What am I missing? I'm using Xcode 16. I don't see an option to add a Siri framework. I have tried adding both the intent and tap, intent frameworks, which does not seem to make a difference.

VNDetectTextRectanglesRequest not detecting text rectangles (includes image)
Hi everyone, I'm trying to use VNDetectTextRectanglesRequest to detect text rectangles in an image. Here's my current code: guard let cgImage = image.cgImage(forProposedRect: nil, context: nil, hints: nil) else { return } let textDetectionRequest = VNDetectTextRectanglesRequest { request, error in if let error = error { print("Text detection error: \(error)") return } guard let observations = request.results as? [VNTextObservation] else { print("No text rectangles detected.") return } print("Detected \(observations.count) text rectangles.") for observation in observations { print(observation.boundingBox) } } textDetectionRequest.revision = VNDetectTextRectanglesRequestRevision1 textDetectionRequest.reportCharacterBoxes = true let handler = VNImageRequestHandler(cgImage: cgImage, orientation: .up, options: [:]) do { try handler.perform([textDetectionRequest]) } catch { print("Vision request error: \(error)") } The request completes without error, but no text rectangles are detected — the observations array is empty (count = 0). Here's a sample image I'm testing with: I expected VNTextObservation results, but I'm not getting any. Is there something I'm missing in how this API works? Or could it be a limitation of this request or revision? Thanks for any help!

Ways I can leverage AI when the user asks Siri, "What does this word mean"
I'm the creator of an app that helps users learn Arabic. Inside of the app users can save words, engage in lessons specific to certain grammar concepts etc. I'm looking for a way for Siri to 'suggest' my app when the user asks to define any Arabic words. There are other questions that I would like for Siri to suggest my app for, but I figure that's a good start. What framework am I looking for here? I think AppItents? I remember I played with it for a bit last year but didn't get far. Any suggestions would be great. Would the new Foundations model be any help here?
