In our app we use CoreML. But ever since macOS 15.x was released we started to get a great bunch of crashes like this: Incident Identifier: 424041c3-884b-4e50-bb5a-429a83c3e1c8 CrashReporter Key: B914246B-1291-4D44-984D-EDF84B52310E Hardware Model: Mac14,12 Process: <REMOVED> [1509] Path: /Applications/<REMOVED> Identifier: com.<REMOVED> Version: <REMOVED> Code Type: arm64 Parent Process: launchd [1] Date/Time: 2024-11-13T13:23:06.999Z Launch Time: 2024-11-13T13:22:19Z OS Version: Mac OS X 15.1.0 (24B83) Report Version: 104 Exception Type: SIGABRT Exception Codes: #0 at 0x189042600 Crashed Thread: 36 Thread 36 Crashed: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x0000000189042600 __pthread_kill + 8 1 libsystem_c.dylib 0x0000000188f87908 abort + 124 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x0000000188f86c1c __assert_rtn + 280 3 Metal 0x0000000193fdd870 MTLReportFailure.cold.1 + 44 4 Metal 0x0000000193fb9198 MTLReportFailure + 444 5 MetalPerformanceShadersGraph 0x0000000222f78c80 -[MPSGraphExecutable initWithMPSGraphPackageAtURL:compilationDescriptor:] + 296 6 Espresso 0x00000001a290ae3c E5RT::SharedResourceFactory::GetMPSGraphExecutable(std::__1::basic_string<char, std::__1::char_traits<char>, std::__1::allocator<char> > const&, NSDictionary*) + 932 . . . 43 CoreML 0x0000000192d263bc -[MLModelAsset modelWithConfiguration:error:] + 120 44 CoreML 0x0000000192da96d0 +[MLModel modelWithContentsOfURL:configuration:error:] + 176 45 <REMOVED> 0x000000010497b758 -[<REMOVED> <REMOVED>] (<REMOVED>) No similar crashes on macOS 12-14!

Hi Apple Developer Community, I’m exploring ways to fine-tune the SNSoundClassifier to allow users of my iOS app to personalize the model by adding custom sounds or adjusting predictions. While Apple’s WWDC session on sound classification explains how to train from scratch, I’m specifically interested in using SNSoundClassifier as the base model and building/fine-tuning on top of it. Here are a few questions I have: 1. Fine-Tuning on SNSoundClassifier: Is there a way to fine-tune this model programmatically through APIs? The manual approach using macOS, as shown in this documentation is clear, but how can it be done dynamically - within the app for users or in a cloud backend (AWS/iCloud)? Are there APIs or classes that support such on-device/cloud-based fine-tuning or incremental learning? If not directly, can the classifier’s embeddings be used to train a lightweight custom layer? Training is likely computationally intensive and drains too much on battery, doing it on cloud can be right way but need the right apis to get this done. A sample code will do good. 2. Recommended Approach for In-App Model Customization: If SNSoundClassifier doesn’t support fine-tuning, would transfer learning on models like MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, or FastViT be more suitable? Given these models (SNSoundClassifier, MobileNetV2, YAMNet, OpenL3, FastViT), which one would be best for accuracy and performance/efficiency on iOS? I aim to maintain real-time performance without sacrificing battery life. Also it is important to see architecture retention and accuracy after conversion to CoreML model. 3. Cost-Effective Backend Setup for Training: Mac EC2 instances on AWS have a 24-hour minimum billing, which can become expensive for limited user requests. Are there better alternatives for deploying and training models on user request when s/he uploads files (training data)? 4. TensorFlow vs PyTorch: Between TensorFlow and PyTorch, which framework would you recommend for iOS Core ML integration? TensorFlow Lite offers mobile-optimized models, but I’m also curious about PyTorch’s performance when converted to Core ML. 5. Metrics: Metrics I have in mind while picking the model are these: Publisher, Accuracy, Fine-Tuning capability, Real-Time/Live use, Suitability of iPhone 16, Architectural retention after coreML conversion, Reasons for unsuitability, Recommended use case. Any insights or recommended approaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a question regarding the voice and sound recognition features on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with four microphones, and I understand that for features like Apple’s sound recognition and when invoking Siri, the microphone(s) must always be active. My question is whether the device uses a single microphone (mono channel) for these functions or if multiple microphones are activated simultaneously. I would appreciate clarification on how the microphones are utilized in sound and voice recognition features. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards.

I’m working on real-time object detection using YOLOv8, but I only need to detect objects in approximately 40% of the screen area. Is it possible to limit the captureOut method to focus solely on that specific region of the screen? If this isn’t feasible, I’m considering an approach where the full-screen pixel buffer is captured and then cropped to the target area before running detection. However, I’m concerned about how this might affect real-time performance. I’d appreciate any insights on how to maintain real-time performance or suggestions for better alternatives. Thank you!

We are experiencing a major issue with the native .version1 of the SoundAnalysis framework in iOS 18, which has led to all our user not having recordings. Our core feature relies heavily on sound analysis in the background, and it previously worked flawlessly in prior iOS versions. However, in the new iOS 18, sound analysis stops working in the background, triggering a critical warning. Details of the issue: We are using SoundAnalysis to analyze background sounds and have enabled the necessary background permissions. We are using the latest XCode A warning now appears, and sound analysis fails in the background. Below is the warning message we are encountering: Warning Message: Execution of the command buffer was aborted due to an error during execution. Insufficient Permission (to submit GPU work from background) [Espresso::handle_ex_plan] exception=Espresso exception: "Generic error": Insufficient Permission (to submit GPU work from background) (00000006:kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorBackgroundExecutionNotPermitted); code=7 status=-1 Unable to compute the prediction using a neural network model. It can be an invalid input data or broken/unsupported model (error code: -1).

Please let us know the next steps or if this is a known issue with iOS 18.

Hello, I would like to inquire about the release date of Swift Assist’s beta version. Apple has stated that it will be released later this year, but they have not provided a specific date or time. Could you please provide information on the beta version’s release date? Additionally, is there a trial version available? If so, when was it released? Thank you for your assistance.

I dragged a folder containing two subfolders directly into CreateML. One subfolder contains images, and the other contains labeled datasets. The number of files in the labeled dataset matches the number of image files. However, it shows "Missing data for label dianjiaoyise.jsons. Detailed list of labels missing files: ["dianjiaoyise.jsons"]."

Hello, I’m currently working on Tiny ML or ML on Edge using the Google Colab platform. Due to the exhaust of my compute unit’s free usage, I’m being prompted to pay. I’ve been considering leveraging the GPU capabilities of my iPad M1 and Intel-based Mac. Both devices utilize Thunderbolt ports capable of sharing connections up to 30GB/s. Since I’m primarily using a classification model, extensive GPU usage isn’t necessary. I’m looking for assistance or guidance on utilizing the iPad’s processor as an eGPU on my Mac, possibly through an API or Apple technology. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am trying to train using CreateML Version 6.0 Beta (146.1), feature extractor Image Feature Print v2. I am using 100K images for a total ~4GB on my M3 Max 48GB (MacOs 15.0 Beta (24A5279h)) The images seems to be correctly read and visualized in the Data Source section (no images with corrupted data seems to be there). When I start the training it's all fine for the first 6k ~ 7k pictures, then I receive the following error: Failed to create CVPixelBufferPool. Width = 0, Height = 0, Format = 0x00000000 It is the first time I am using it, so I don't really have so much of experience. Could you help me to understand what could be the problem? Thanks a lot

Hi everyone, I was wondering, on how accurate is the Hand Classification ML? For Example: Is it possible to understand the different letters of the Sign Language Alphabet or is it only capable of recognizing simple poses like a thumbs up?

I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the opportunity to watch the insightful session titled "Improve Core ML Integration with Async Prediction" and was thoroughly impressed by the depth of information and the practical demonstration provided. The session offered valuable insights that I believe would greatly benefit my ongoing projects and my understanding of Core ML integration. As I am keen on implementing the demonstrated workflows and techniques within my own work, I am reaching out to kindly request access to the source code and any related material presented during the session. Having access to the code would enable me to better understand the concepts discussed and apply them more effectively in real-world scenarios. I believe that being able to review and experiment with the actual code would significantly enhance my learning experience and the implementation efficiency of my projects. It would also serve as a valuable resource for referencing best practices in Core ML integration and async prediction techniques. Thank you very much for considering my request. I greatly appreciate the effort that went into creating such an informative session and am looking forward to potentially exploring the material in greater depth. Best regards, Fabio G.

Hi can you add new feature in Pages and Numbers using Ai to apply style from PDF or template to documents, so ai arrange footers and headers and fonts , pages breaks , pages numbers, like one in PDF or templates , so we can auto format documents to desired look standard, also for Numbers. So we can on raw text upload pdf of another documents or report and get documents in that style for export to pdf or print Best regards,
