Hi All, requirement - "Search (placeholder) in (myApp)". When user speaks this strings, Siri should open the app and pass the placeholder. This worked for me only when i used an AppEnum (with specific defined set) with AppEntity. I want the placeholder to be dynamic and not defined via the AppEnum. Have observed this feature working fine with Youtube, Spotify & Whatsapp apps. Is there anything else that these app add specifically to make this work. ? Also in these app's Siri settings, there is a toggle named - 'Use with Ask Siri'. Could someone please help in understanding, how this option is enabled ?

Dear community, 3 Questions 1 On which processor are shortcuts being executed (the script flow) when started from Apple Watch? 2 Same question for the single intents execution. 3 Is there a good documentation and hopefully some architectural block diagram?

We have developed an iOS app in objective-C and added integrations for shortcuts app - more specific the "automation" part of the app. Basically, user opens shortcuts app, select automation and when scanning NFC tag, user can select an action and our app shows 3 different actions. User select action, opens the app and action is executed. That all done in Obj-C and was working very well with no complaints till users start to update to iOS18. Now, when user starts to add automation, only thing they can do is select "open app". Our app actions are not showing any more. Is there something new in iOS 18 we have to update our app. I know Obje-C is considered "old", but the cost of upgrading an existing app and time is not available at the moment. Here's a code snippet of our shortcutIntent: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>group.lw.grp1</string> <string>group.lw.grp2</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Shortcut Info-plist <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>NSExtension</key> <dict> <key>NSExtensionAttributes</key> <dict> <key>IntentsRestrictedWhileLocked</key> <array/> <key>IntentsRestrictedWhileProtectedDataUnavailable</key> <array/> <key>IntentsSupported</key> <array> <string>LockIntent</string> <string>TrunkIntent</string> <string>UnlockIntent</string> </array> </dict> <key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.intents-service</string> <key>NSExtensionPrincipalClass</key> <string>IntentHandler</string> </dict> </dict> </plist> IntentHandler -(id)init{ self = [super init]; self.started = false; self.handler = [[AppIntentHandler alloc] init]; self.handler.userInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init]; return self; } - (id)handlerForIntent:(INIntent *)intent { // This is the default implementation. If you want different objects to handle different intents, // you can override this and return the handler you want for that particular intent. if(!self.started){ self.started = YES; if([intent isKindOfClass:[LockIntent class]]){ NSLog(@"*intent lock selected*"); self.handler.userInfo = [self assignUserInfo:@"lock"]; }else if([intent isKindOfClass:[UnlockIntent class]]){ NSLog(@"*intent unlock selected*"); self.handler.userInfo = [self assignUserInfo:@"unlock"]; }else if([intent isKindOfClass:[TrunkIntent class]]){ NSLog(@"*intent trunk selected*"); self.handler.userInfo = [self assignUserInfo:@"trunk"]; } }else{ self.started = NO; } return self.handler; } A custom class to handle each intent @implementation AppIntentHandler #pragma mark - response handlers - (void)handleLock:(nonnull LockIntent *)intent completion:(nonnull void (^)(LockIntentResponse * _Nonnull))completion { LockIntentResponse *response = [[LockIntentResponse alloc] initWithCode:LockIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:[self lockUserActivity]]; completion(response); } - (void)handleUnlock:(nonnull UnlockIntent *)intent completion:(nonnull void (^)(UnlockIntentResponse * _Nonnull))completion { UnlockIntentResponse *response = [[UnlockIntentResponse alloc] initWithCode:UnlockIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:[self unlockUserActivity]]; completion(response); } - (void)handleTrunk:(nonnull TrunkIntent *)intent completion:(nonnull void (^)(TrunkIntentResponse * _Nonnull))completion { TrunkIntentResponse *response = [[TrunkIntentResponse alloc] initWithCode:TrunkIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:[self trunkUserActivity]]; completion(response); } What have changed and what needs to be done to make our app's actions show in shortcuts app again. Could anyone point me to the right direction, documentations, blog post or code snippet? Thanks in advance for taking the time to help!

I suppose this is a bug in compiler. Xcode 16.0 (16A242d) - AppStore release version When building a project from Xcode 15 in Xcode 16, an error occurs: appintentsmetadataprocessor[12633:13677489] error: At least one halting error produced during export. No AppIntents metadata have been exported and this target is not usable with AppIntents until errors are resolved. AppShortcut phrases may have at most one parameter, but found phrase, "Set Dark Mode ${darkMode} for Widget ${widget}" with more than one parameter: darkMode, widget Apparently this is an Xcode bug because I have a production app with this AppShortcut and it works fine in Apple Shortcuts. Everything is made according to the official WWDC video about AppShortcuts https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10170

Hi everyone, I have a shortcut that works great on iOS and on MacOS but that for some reason, doesn't work on WatchOS. The shortcut contains only a "Run script over SSH" item, I've tested both with password and public Key, they work well on the other devices but in WatchOS they shortcut returns "Cannot send with an inactive account". Any idea of what the issue is? Regards, Ade

The following code works perfectly fine in iOS 17, where I can retrieve the desired dependency value through @IntentParameterDependency as expected. However, in iOS 18, addTransaction always returns nil. struct CategoryEntityQuery: EntityStringQuery { @Dependency private var persistentController: PersistentController @IntentParameterDependency<AddTransactionIntent>( \.$categoryType ) var addTransaction func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func entities(for identifiers: [CategoryEnitity.ID]) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } } Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Any insights or potential workarounds would be greatly appreciated. iOS: 18.0 (22A3354) Xcode 16.0 (16A242d)

I have an app intent that returns a file from inside the Sandbox. With iOS 18 RC, the call to INFile results in the file being deleted, instead of the file being returned. intentResponse.file = INFile(fileURL: fileURL, filename: fileName, typeIdentifier: nil) This seems to happen if the file was created by an earlier Shortcut action that calls FileManager().copyItem(), but not for files created by other means. I haven't found a reference in the developer documentation about INFile resulting in the file being deleted. I can block FileManager() from deleting the file by setting its immutable attributes to true, but that prevents me from removing it later.

I want to use the Shortcuts app on macOS Monterey to modify M4A/AAC audio file metadata for files that I have ripped from CD to my local Music app library. How can I use a regular expression on track titles to replace text that matches a certain regex pattern? I have already written the regex, I just need help with the Shortcuts app. I've started my shortcut with a "Find Music" action connected to a "Repeat with Each" loop action. Within the loop, I use a "Get Details of Music" action to get the title, which is passed to a "Replace Text" action using my regex. I just don't know how to write the correct new title into the music file's title/name metadata field. I tried a "Rename File" action with type "iTunes media" to try to set the "Title" field, but the field wasn't updated either in the Music app or in the M4A/AAC file itself. I couldn't find any other actions that seemed like they might be able to modify the field. I'd prefer a solution that goes through the Music app / its APIs, rather than directly modifying the M4A on the file system, because the latter would force me to have the Music app scan for changed files after the files we're modified.

how to register more than 10 shortcuts

使用APPIntent 的AppShortcutsProvider方式，最多只能添加10个AppShortcut，超过10个，代码编译就会报错 struct MeditationShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: StartMeditationIntent(), phrases: [ "Start a (.applicationName)", "Begin (.applicationName)", "Meditate with (.applicationName)", "Start a (.$session) session with (.applicationName)", "Begin a (.$session) session with (.applicationName)", "Meditate on (.$session) with (.applicationName)" ] ) } } 如何能做到像特斯拉APP一样

The action “bla bla” could not run because of an internal error on specific mobile only I have tried updating shortcuts app and restart my phone but nothing works

I'm able to deep link to the Automation tab in Shortcuts App using : shortcuts://create-automation. But I want to preselect a predefined automation (like bluetooth / nfc) and profile some parameters along with it, like Name of the automation shortcut to select When / Trigger point for the automation shortcut Do / what should happen on tuning the shortcut Thanks !

I'm trying to create an App Shortcut so that users can interact with one of my app's features using Siri. I would like to be able to turn this shortcut on or off at runtime using a feature toggle. Ideally, I would be able to do something like this. struct MyShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { // This shortcut is always available AppShortcut( intent: AlwaysAvailableIntent(), phrases: ["Show my always available intent with \(.applicationName)"], shortTitle: "Always Available Intent", systemImageName: "infinity" ) // This shortcut is only available when "myCoolFeature" is available if FeatureProvider.shared.isAvailable("myCoolFeature") { AppShortcut( intent: MyCoolFeatureIntent(), phrases: ["Show my cool feature in \(.applicationName)"], shortTitle: "My Cool Feature Intent", systemImageName: "questionmark" ) } } } However, this does not work because the existing buildOptional implementation is limited to components of type (any _AppShortcutsContentMarker & _LimitedAvailabilityAppShortcutsContentMarker)?. All other attempts at making appShortcuts dynamic have resulted in shortcuts not working at all. I've tried: Creating a makeAppShortcuts method that returns [AppShortcut] and invoking this method from within the appShortcuts Extending AppShortcutsBuilder to support a buildOptional block isn't restricted to a component type of (any _AppShortcutsContentMarker & _LimitedAvailabilityAppShortcutsContentMarker)? Extending AppShortcutsBuilder to support buildArray and using compactMap(_:) to return an empty array when the feature is disabled I haven't used SiriKit before but it appears that shortcut suggestions were set at runtime by invoking setShortcutSuggestions(_:), meaning that what I'm trying to do would be possible. I'm not against using SiriKit if I have to but my understanding is that the App Intents framework is meant to be a replacement for SiriKit, and the prompt within Xcode to replace older custom intents with App Intents indicates that that is indeed the case. Is there something obvious that I'm just missing or is this simply not possible with the App Intent framework? Is the App Intent framework not meant to replace SiriKit and should I just use that instead?

I'm working on a SwiftUI interactive widget using AppIntent. However, I want to prevent my AppIntents from appearing in the Shortcuts app. Currently, all my AppIntents are showing up in the Shortcuts app, but I only want them to be used within my widget. Is there a way to restrict the visibility of AppIntents so they don't appear in the Shortcuts app? Here is a simplified version of my AppIntent: import AppIntents struct MyWidgetIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "My Widget Intent" func perform() async throws -&gt; some IntentResult { // Intent logic here } } I've looked into the documentation but haven't found a clear way to achieve this.

I'm trying to test the Assistant Schema Intent with the Shortcut app. However, unlike in the WWDC video (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10133/), my Intent conforming to the Assistant Schema does not appear when I search for 'AssistantSchema'. If it doesn't appear here, does that mean this intent will not work with Siri?

I want to launch my app via shortcuts which has new automation, Then I selected NFC scanning button and run immediately. Next I selected my AppIntent, but when I get launched from a Tag, How can I get data stored in it.

Hi, I am working on creating a EntityPropertyQuery for my App entity. I want the user to be able to use Shortcuts to search by a property in a related entity, but I'm struggling with how the syntax for that looks. I know the documentation for 'EntityPropertyQuery' suggests that this should be possible with a different initializer for the 'QueryProperty' that takes in a 'entityProvider' but I can't figure out how it works. For e.g. my CJPersonAppEntity has 'emails', which is of type CJEmailAppEntity, which has a property 'emailAddress'. I want the user to be able to find the 'person' by looking up an email address. When I try to provide this as a Property to filter by, inside CJPersonAppEntityQuery, but I get a syntax error: static var properties = QueryProperties { Property(\CJPersonEmailAppEntity.$emailAddress, entityProvider: { person in person.emails // error }) { EqualToComparator { NSPredicate(format: "emailAddress == %@", $0) } ContainsComparator { NSPredicate(format: "emailAddress CONTAINS %@", $0) } } } The error says "Cannot convert value of type '[CJPersonEmailAppEntity]' to closure result type 'CJPersonEmailAppEntity'" So it's not expecting an array, but an individual email item. But how do I provide that without running the predicate query that's specified in the closure? So I tried something like this , just returning something without worrying about correctness: Property(\CJPersonEmailAppEntity.$emailAddress, entityProvider: { person in person.emails.first ?? CJPersonEmailAppEntity() // satisfy compiler }) { EqualToComparator { NSPredicate(format: "emailAddress == %@", $0) } ContainsComparator { NSPredicate(format: "emailAddress CONTAINS %@", $0) } } and it built the app, but failed on another the step 'Extracting app intents metadata': error: Entity CJPersonAppEntity does not contain a property named emailAddress. Ensure that the property is wrapped with an @Property property wrapper So I'm not sure what the correct syntax for handling this case is, and I can't find any other examples of how it's done. Would love some feedback for this.

Is there anything that can be done to speed up the execution of a Shortcut? There is a Shortcut that many users opt to use with my app that is only effective if it runs immediately - the reality, though, is that it often takes 1-2 seconds for the Shortcut to trigger, rendering it largely useless (the Shortcut is meant to prevent users from being able to disable Screen Time in Settings). Has anyone had success with this, and/or are there other approaches we could be taking?
