Lets say I use a SDK that has some custom components .ie. Liquid Glass but with neon background (just for fun) . This SDK has comprehensive API Docs . Currently Xcode provides DocumentationSearch mcp tool only for Apple APIs . Is there a way to enhance api search beyond Apple SDKs , for examples seeing the definitions in xcframwork. If not can Xcode connect to local/hosted mcp-servers . Or do these have to be modified in Claude settings.

Just tried to write a very simple test of using foundation models, but it gave me the error like this "ModelManager received unentitled request. Expected entitlement com.apple.modelmanager.inference establishment of session failed with Missing entitlement: com.apple.modelmanager.inference" The simple code is listed below: let session: LanguageModelSession = LanguageModelSession() let response = try? await session.respond(to: "What is the capital of France?") print("Response: (response)") So what's the problem of this one?

About the Core ML model encryption mention in:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreml/encrypting-a-model-in-your-app Ｗhen I encrypted the model, if the machine is M chip, the model will load perfectly. One the other hand, when I test the executable on an Intel chip macbook, there will be an error: Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=9 "Operation not supported on this platform." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Operation not supported on this platform.} Intel test machine is 2019 macbook air with CPU: Intel i5-8210Y, OS: 14.7.6 23H626, With Apple T2 Security Chip. The encrypted model do load on M2 and M4 macbook air. If the model is NOT encrypted, it will also load on the Intel test machine. I did not find in Core ML document that suggest if the encryption/decryption support Intel chips. May I check if the decryption indeed does NOT support Intel chip?

I'm a bit new to the LLM stuff and with Foundation Models. My understanding is that there is a token limit of around 4K. I want to process the contents of files which may be quite large. I first tried going the Tool route but that didn't work out so I then tried manually chunking the text to keep things under the limit. It mostly works except that every now and then it'll exceed the limit. This happens even when the chunks are less than 100 characters. Instructions themselves are about 500 characters but still overall, well below 1000 characters per prompt, all told, which, in my limited understanding, should not result in 4K tokens being parsed. Any ideas on what is going on here?

I have a fairly basic prompt I've created that parses a list of locations out of a string. I've then created a tool, which for these locations, finds their latitude/longitude on a map and populates that in the response. However, I cannot get the language model session to see/use my tool. I have code like this passing the tool to my prompt: class Parser { func populate(locations: String, latitude: Double, longitude: Double) async { let findLatLonTool = FindLatLonTool(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude) let session = LanguageModelSession(tools: [findLatLonTool]) { """ A prompt that populates a model with a list of locations. """ """ Use the findLatLon tool to populate the latitude and longitude for the name of each location. """ } let stream = session.streamResponse(to: "Parse these locations: \(locations)", generating: ParsedLocations.self) let locationsModel = LocationsModels(); do { for try await partialParsedLocations in stream { locationsModel.parsedLocations = partialParsedLocations.content } } catch { print("Error parsing") } } } And then the tool that looks something like this: import Foundation import FoundationModels import MapKit struct FindLatLonTool: Tool { typealias Output = GeneratedContent let name = "findLatLon" let description = "Find the latitude / longitude of a location for a place name." let latitude: Double let longitude: Double @Generable struct Arguments { @Guide(description: "This is the location name to look up.") let locationName: String } func call(arguments: Arguments) async throws -> GeneratedContent { let request = MKLocalSearch.Request() request.naturalLanguageQuery = arguments.locationName request.region = MKCoordinateRegion( center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude), latitudinalMeters: 1_000_000, longitudinalMeters: 1_000_000 ) let search = MKLocalSearch(request: request) let coordinate = try await search.start().mapItems.first?.location.coordinate if let coordinate = coordinate { return GeneratedContent( LatLonModel(latitude: coordinate.latitude, longitude: coordinate.longitude) ) } return GeneratedContent("Location was not found - no latitude / longitude is available.") } } But trying a bunch of different prompts has not triggered the tool - instead, what appear to be totally random locations are filled in my resulting model and at no point does a breakpoint hit my tool code. Has anybody successfully gotten a tool to be called?

It is vital for Apple to refine its OCR models to correctly distinguish between Khmer and Thai scripts. Incorrectly labeling Khmer text as Thai is more than a technical bug; it is a culturally insensitive error that impacts national identity, especially given the current geopolitical climate between Cambodia and Thailand. Implementing a more robust language-detection threshold would prevent these harmful misidentifications. There is a significant logic flaw in the VNRecognizeTextRequest language detection when processing Khmer script. When the property automaticallyDetectsLanguage is set to true, the Vision framework frequently misidentifies Khmer characters as Thai. While both scripts share historical roots, they are distinct languages with different alphabets. Currently, the model’s confidence threshold for distinguishing between these two scripts is too low, leading to incorrect OCR output in both developer-facing APIs and Apple’s native ecosystem (Preview, Live Text, and Photos). import SwiftUI import Vision class TextExtractor { func extractText(from data: Data, completion: @escaping (String) -> Void) { let request = VNRecognizeTextRequest { (request, error) in guard let observations = request.results as? [VNRecognizedTextObservation] else { completion("No text found.") return } let recognizedStrings = observations.compactMap { observation in let str = observation.topCandidates(1).first?.string return "{text: \(str!), confidence: \(observation.confidence)}" } completion(recognizedStrings.joined(separator: "\n")) } request.automaticallyDetectsLanguage = true // <-- This is the issue. request.recognitionLevel = .accurate let handler = VNImageRequestHandler(data: data, options: [:]) DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async { do { try handler.perform([request]) } catch { completion("Failed to perform OCR: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } } Recognizing Khmer Confidence Score is low for Khmer text. (The output is in Thai language with low confidence score) Recognizing English Confidence Score is high expected. Recognizing Thai Confidence Score is high as expected Issues on Preview, Photos Khmer text Copied text Kouk Pring Chroum Temple [19121 รอาสายสุกตีนานยารรีสใหิสรราภูชิตีนนสุฐตีย์ [รุก เผือชิษาธอยกัตธ์ตายตราพาษชาณา ถวเชยาใบสราเบรถทีมูสินตราพาษชาณา ทีมูโษา เช็ก อาษเชิษฐอารายสุกบดตพรธุรฯ ตากร"สุก"ผาตากรธกรธุกเยากสเผาพศฐตาสาย รัอรณาษ"ตีพย" สเผาพกรกฐาภูชิสาเครๆผู:สุกรตีพาสเผาพสรอสายใผิตรรารตีพสๆ เดียอลายสุกตีน ธาราชรติ ธิพรหณาะพูชุบละเาหLunet De Lajonquiere ผารูกรสาราพารผรผาสิตภพ ตารสิทูก ธิพิ คุณที่นสายเระพบพเคเผาหนารเกะทรนภาษเราภุพเสารเราษทีเลิกสญาเราหรุฬารชสเกาก เรากุม สงสอบานตรเราะากกต่ายภากายระตารุกเตียน Recommended Solutions 1. Set a Threshold Filter out the detected result where the threshold is less than or equal to 0.5, so that it would not output low quality text which can lead to the issue. For example, let recognizedStrings = observations.compactMap { observation in if observation.confidence <= 0.5 { return nil } let str = observation.topCandidates(1).first?.string return "{text: \(str!), confidence: \(observation.confidence)}" } 2. Add Khmer Language Support This issue would never happen if the model has the capability to detect and recognize image with Khmer language.

When I use the FoundationModel framework to generate long text, it will always hit an error. "Passing along Client rate limit exceeded, try again later in response to ExecuteRequest" And stop generating. eg. for the prompt "Write a long story", it will almost certainly hit that error after 17 seconds of generation. do{ let session = LanguageModelSession() let prompt: String = "Write a long story" let response = try await session.respond(to: prompt) }catch{} If possible, I want to know how to prevent that error or at least how to handle it.

Hi, I am developing an iOS application that utilizes Apple’s Foundation Models to perform certain summarization tasks. I would like to understand whether user data is transferred to Private Cloud Compute (PCC) in cases where the computation cannot be performed entirely on-device. This information is critical for our internal security and compliance reviews. I would appreciate your clarification on this matter. Thank you.

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.

We are developing Apple AI for overseas markets and adapting it for iPhone 17 and later models. When the system language and Siri language do not match—such as the system being in English while Siri is in Chinese—it may result in Apple AI being unusable. So, I would like to ask, how can this issue be resolved, and are there other reasons that might cause it to be unusable within the app?

I'm experimenting with Foundation Models and I'm trying to understand how to define a Tool whose input argument is defined at runtime. Specifically, I want a Tool that takes a single String parameter that can only take certain values defined at runtime. I think my question is basically the same as this one: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/793471 However, the answer provided by the engineer doesn't actually demonstrate how to create the GenerationSchema. Trying to piece things together from the documentation that the engineer linked to, I came up with this: let citiesDefinedAtRuntime = ["London", "New York", "Paris"] let citySchema = DynamicGenerationSchema( name: "CityList", properties: [ DynamicGenerationSchema.Property( name: "city", schema: DynamicGenerationSchema( name: "city", anyOf: citiesDefinedAtRuntime ) ) ] ) let generationSchema = try GenerationSchema(root: citySchema, dependencies: []) let tools = [CityInfo(parameters: generationSchema)] let session = LanguageModelSession(tools: tools, instructions: "...") With the CityInfo Tool defined like this: struct CityInfo: Tool { let name: String = "getCityInfo" let description: String = "Get information about a city." let parameters: GenerationSchema func call(arguments: GeneratedContent) throws -> String { let cityName = try arguments.value(String.self, forProperty: "city") print("Requested info about \(cityName)") let cityInfo = getCityInfo(for: cityName) return cityInfo } func getCityInfo(for city: String) -> String { // some backend that provides the info } } This compiles and usually seems to work. However, sometimes the model will try to request info about a city that is not in citiesDefinedAtRuntime. For example, if I prompt the model with "I want to travel to Tokyo in Japan, can you tell me about this city?", the model will try to request info about Tokyo, even though this is not in the citiesDefinedAtRuntime array. My understanding is that this should not be possible – constrained generation should only allow the LLM to generate an input argument from the list of cities defined in the schema. Am I missing something here or overcomplicating things? What's the correct way to make sure the LLM can only call a Tool with an input parameter from a set of possible values defined at runtime? Many thanks!

My app lets you create images with Image Playground. When the user approves an image I move it to the documents dir from the temp storage. With over a year of usage I’ve created a lot of images over time. Out of nowhere the app stopped loading my custom creations from Image Playground saying it couldn’t find the files. It still had my VoiceOver strings I had added for each image and still had the custom categories I assigned them. Debug code to look in the docs dir doesn’t find them. I downloaded the app’s container and only see the images I created as a test after the problem started. But my ~70MB app is still taking up 300MB on my iPhone so it feels like they’re there but not accessible. Is there anything else I can try?

Hello, My app fully relies on the new Foundation Models. Since Foundation Models require Apple Intelligence, I want to ensure that only devices capable of running Apple Intelligence can install my app. When checking the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities property for a suitable value, I found that iphone-performance-gaming-tier seems the closest match. Based on my research: On iPhone, this effectively limits installation to iPhone 15 Pro or later. On iPad, it ensures M1 or newer devices. This exactly matches the hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence. However, after setting iphone-performance-gaming-tier, I noticed that on iPad, Game Mode (Game Overlay) is automatically activated, and my app is treated as a game. My questions are: Is there a more appropriate UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities value that would enforce the same Apple Intelligence hardware requirements without triggering Game Mode? If not, is there another way to restrict installation to devices meeting Apple Intelligence requirements? Is there a way to prevent Game Mode from appearing for my app while still using this capability restriction? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a question. In China, long pressing a picture in the album can segment the target. Is this model a local model? Is there any information? Can developers use it?

I keep getting the error “An unsupported language or locale was used.” Is there any documentation that specifies the accepted languages or locales in Foundation model?

Hey guys, I've been having difficulties transferring my Xcode project to a Swift playground (.swiftpm) for the Swift Student Challenge. I keep getting these errors as well as none of the views being able to find the model in scope: "TrashDetector 1.mlmodel: No predominant language detected. Set COREML_CODEGEN_LANGUAGE to preferred language." Unexpected duplicate tasks: Target 'TrashQuest' (project 'TrashQuest') has write command with output /Users/kmcph3/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TrashQuest-glvzskunedgtakfrdmsxdoplondj/Build/Intermediates.noindex/TrashQuest.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/TrashQuest.build/0a4ef2429d66360920ddb4f16e65e233.sb I've gone through multiple post with these exact problems, but they all seem to be talking about ".playground" files due to the "Resources" folder (mind you I did try exactly what they said). Is there anyone that can help??? (Quick side note, why does it need to be a swiftpm file for the SSC??? Like why can't we just send the zip of our Xcode project??)

Is it possible to train a model using CreateML to infer a relevance numeric score of a news article based on similar trained data, something like a sentiment score ? I created a Text Classifier that assigns a category label which works perfect but I would like a solution that calculates a numeric value, not a label.

Hi, One can configure the languages of a (VN)RecognizeTextRequest with either: .automatic: language to be detected a specific language, say Spanish If the request is configured with .automatic and successfully detects Spanish, will the results be exactly equivalent compared to a request made with Spanish set as language? I could not find any information about this, and this is very important for the core architecture of my app. Thanks!
