macOS: Sequoia Xcode: 16.1
I am working on a macOS app and it has a widget feature.
When I use Swift 6 (Build Settings > Swift Language Version) in IntentExtension, the intent configuration won't show up in macOS Sequoia.
If I downgrade to Swift 5, it works without any other changes. Is it a bug or am I missing something? How can I use Swift 6 with IntentExtension.
Potential Solutions
1. Check Intent Definition
- Ensure that your intents are correctly defined in your Intent Definition file.
- Verify that you are using the AppIntentConfiguration type instead of the older IntentConfiguration for your widget
2. Conform to Required Protocols
- Make sure your intent conforms to the WidgetConfigurationIntent protocol, which is necessary for widget configuration intents. This includes implementing required attributes like title and description as static variables
3. Clean Build and Cache
Perform a clean build of your project:
- In Xcode, go to Product > Clean Build Folder (hold down the Option key).
- Delete any derived data related to your project:
- Go to Xcode Preferences > Locations, and click on the arrow next to Derived Data to open it in Finder.
- Delete the folder corresponding to your project.
4. Update Xcode and macOS
- Ensure that you are using the latest version of Xcode (16.1) and that your macOS is up-to-date. Sometimes, bugs in earlier versions can cause unexpected behavior
5. Review App Entitlements
- Check the entitlements of your app and ensure that they are correctly set up for the Intent Extension.
- Make sure that App Sandbox is enabled if required by your extension's functionality
6. Test on Different Devices/Simulators
If possible, test your widget on different devices or simulators running macOS Sequoia to see if the issue persists across environments.
