Generating Images of Real People Without Their Consent
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.

Siri AI - waitlist
i have been on the waitlist since the release , I have asked many of my friends and they got it at very different times , who got it in hours who in days , and then there's me , a whole week of waiting for nothing , as a developer this is affecting my workflow but there's nothing more to do than reporting it to apple via the feedback app. the thing that makes us all anxious its not being able to see our position in line if there even is one because users reported that who downloaded and joined the waitlist later got it sooner than someone who installed iOS 27 and joined the waitlist before . AS OF RIGHT NOW I NOTICED A PATTERN. NEWER DEVICES THAT FINISH THE INDEXING FASTER GET THRU THE WAITLIST , while others like iPhone 15 pro and iPad m1 GET TO WAIT EVEN IF THE INDEXING IS FINISHED . what can we do other than wait , is there any way of KNOWING YOUR CURRENT STATE IN WAITING IN LINE.

Siri As Coding Agent
In the new Xcode we saw examples of Claude, OAI & Google coding agents that you can start conversations with inside your project, giving it access to your project files context. As far as I understand, this requires an API key for those models & the processing is run on Anthropic / Google servers, not locally nor on Private Cloud Compute. Is it possible to instead, use the LLM powering Foundation Models, for a “Siri Code Agent” which operates in the place of those models, but runs on device or in Private Cloud Compute? I like how this works for Siri AI requests, and would love to have a coding assistant agent that can operate in the same privacy preserving way! Is this possible with any of the open source frameworks or the command line tools? If not, what is the best way to request this feature?

Rich SwiftUI Rendering in the Siri Overlay
For intents that return complex markdown, code snippets, or structured layouts, what are the rendering capabilities and resource constraints of custom SwiftUI views returned via Snippet inside the Siri voice overlay? Are interactive controls (like buttons, copy-to-clipboard, or scroll views) supported inside the Siri-overlay SwiftUI container?

Custom vocabulary for speech and entity resolution
Whisper and other STT APIs let you pass a custom vocabulary or initial_prompt to bias recognition toward domain-specific proper nouns. In the App Intents / Siri stack, is there an equivalent way to supply dynamic, per-user term lists — for example favorites or recently used items — to improve how spoken names are transcribed or resolved?

If you are having problems and find that you need to downgrade and then image playground doesn't work please follow these steps
Make sure that you have everything Apple Intelligence enabled because it took up to 24 to 48 hours for the image playground app to work for me. Note this is coming from a fellow developer not official update as we cannot do that on the forums. I am only sharing my own experience. It may take some time for the support files like it did for me to become available for image playground again. Sincerely, Donald Kirby

Guardrail configuration options?
Is anything configurable for LanguageModelSession.Guardrails besides the default? I'm prototyping a camping app, and it's constantly slamming into guardrail errors when I use the new foundation model interface. Any subjects relating to fishing, survival, etc. won't generate. For example the prompt "How can I kill deer ticks using a clothing treatment?" returns a generation error. The results that I get are great when it works, but so far the local model sessions are extremely unreliable.

New Siri Waitlist not activating on iPhone/iPad after 4 days — macOS workaround works but not syncing
Hi, I joined the New Siri waitlist on June 8 (the day of WWDC 2026) and as of June 12, I have still not been granted access on iPhone or iPad — that's 4 days with no activation. I used the Terminal workaround on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta (EnhancedSiriWaitlist → Enabled = NO), which successfully activated New Siri on my Mac. However, it has not synced to my other devices despite being on the same Apple ID with iCloud Siri sync enabled. Device details: Mac mini (macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta) — New Siri active ✓ iPhone (iOS 27.0 Developer Beta 1) — Joined Waitlist since June 8 iPad (iPadOS 27.0 Developer Beta 1) — Joined Waitlist since June 8 Steps already attempted: Multiple restarts on iPhone and iPad Toggled iCloud Siri sync off/on Toggled Siri off/on multiple times iCloud storage sufficient (200GB plan, 53GB used) 4 days seems far beyond normal rollout time. Is this a known issue? Is there anything on the account side that could be blocking activation? Thank you.

New Siri Wait List on MacOS Golden Gate
I installed the new MacOS Beta 1 on Monday, June 8 and Siri was requested. It is now Thursday, June 11 and I am still on the wait list. The conference is almost over with any interactive sessions. I am concerned that my configuration may be causing a bug. The AppleID I am logged in on the Mac (M4, 24GBs RAM, 512GB storage-130GB free) is not the same as my paid Developer AppleID used to download Xcode, etc. (it is however a Developer ID). This has never been a problem before. Could this be causing an issue? Related question, since I have not gotten the "New Siri" will this actually change the Foundation Models?

Using EntityPropertyQuery with SwiftData
I’m using SwiftData in my app and would like to support the standard „Find“ Shortcut. What is the best way to use the EntityPropertyQuery’s entities(matching: mode: sortedBy: limit:) function with SwiftData? I’m currently using a Swift Package called CompoundPredicate to construct my predicates based on the QueryProperties and the SortingOptions. I know that SwiftData started to support compound predicates with macOS 14.4/iOS 17.4 or later. But from what I understand they are not dynamic and are validated at compile time. What is a native way to handle this dynamic predicate case of App Intent fetches?

Foundation Model Variation within the same iOS different hardware.
We understand that on-device Foundation Models (FMs) can evolve between OS releases. To help us accurately scope our application capabilities and performance expectations for multiplatform development, could you clarify the variation of these new on-device models across different hardware? Specifically: Within the same OS & device family: Do the architecture, parameters, or capabilities of the on-device models vary based on hardware tiers (e.g., iPhone vs. iPhone Pro, or MacBook Air M5 vs. MacBook Pro with M5 Pro)? Across different device form factors: Are there model variations between hardware families running equivalent OS releases (e.g., Mac vs. iPhone)? Knowing if we are targeting a uniform model baseline or a tiered model ecosystem will greatly help us optimise our App Intelligence features or at least set us with proper expectations in scope and capabilities. Thanks.

Does On-Screen-Context from first party apps work at the moment?
Do apps like Files, Safari, and Finder provide on screen data on request? I've got an entity that implements transferable, but Siri is consistently telling me that it is unable to export data from Files, Safari and photos, and does not seem to want to construct my entity. (it's an @PhotoAsset entity, and I've implemented @createAssets as well.) Is that true at the moment that Siri cannot read data from those apps? I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Running ML Models on software and hardware stack layer.
This year, new APIs were introduced such as l Metal Performance Shaders which provide access to high-performance Metal kernel. But this is still GPU. Are there APIs or plans to provide API and language to access ANE layer?

Do we need to migrate SiriKit INIntent to AppIntent for Siri AI?
Can the new Siri correctly handle SiriKit INIntent? My app uses INIntent like INSendMessageIntent. It is used not only for Siri action but also used Communication notifications and CarPlay and more OS features. Is any migration required?
