My App has several resources that I'd like to spring open through App Intents. For example a series of Dictionaries. These resources however in the app are behind a log in (for security) and are entitlements that are purchased. They may own 4 of 7 dictionaries. If I want to have an intent that says, "Open Dictionary: (Dict Name)" how do I best handle situations where the user may no longer be logged in or have the entitlement for that specific dictionary? Thanks

I have a Shortcuts action via an App Intent that I want only for active subscribers to use. I have a shared class that handles all the subcription related things. But for some reason my code only works if the app is active in the background. Once the app is quitted and the user performs the Shortcut, the not subscribed error is thrown – even though the user is subscribed. How can I ensure that my subscription check is done correctly, if the app isn’t open in the background? My Code App Intent excerpt: @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<MeterIntentEntity> { // Validate that the user is subscribed. // Cancels action with error message if not subscribed. if SubscriptionManager.shared.userIsSubscribed == false { throw IntentError.notSubscribed } // More Code … // Finish and pass created value as result. return .result(value: something) } Subscription Manager excerpt: class SubscriptionManager: ObservableObject { // A singleton for our entire app to use static let shared = SubscriptionManager() let productIds = ["my_sub1", "my_sub2"] @Published private(set) var availableSubscriptions: [Product] @Published private(set) var purchasedSubscriptions: [Product] = [] public var userIsSubscribed: Bool { return !self.purchasedSubscriptions.isEmpty } init() { // Initialize empty products, and then do a product request asynchronously to fill them in. availableSubscriptions = [] Task { await updatePurchasedProducts() } } @MainActor func updatePurchasedProducts() async { for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { do { let transaction = try checkVerified(result) if let subscription = availableSubscriptions.first(where: { $0.id == transaction.productID }) { purchasedSubscriptions.append(subscription) } } catch { Logger.subscription.error("Error loading users user's purchased products.") } } }

Hi, this is the 3rd time I'm trying to post this on the forum, apple moderators ignoring it. I'm a deep learning expert with a specialization of image processing. I want to know why I have hundreds of AI models on my Mac that are indexing everything on my computer while it is idle, using programs like neuralhash that I can't find any information about. I can understand if they are being used to enhance the user experience on Spotlight, Siri, Photos, and other applications, but I couldn't find the necessary information on the web. Usually, (spyware) software like this uses them to classify files in an X/Y coordinate system. This feels like a more advanced version of stuxnet. find / -type f -name "*.weights" > ai_models.txt find / -type f -name "*labels*.txt" > ai_model_labels.txt Some of the classes from the files; file_name: SCL_v0.3.1_9c7zcipfrc_558001-labels-v3.txt document_boarding_pass document_check_or_checkbook document_currency_or_bill document_driving_license document_office_badge document_passport document_receipt document_social_security_number hier_curation hier_document hier_negative curation_meme file_name: SceneNet5_detection_labels-v8d.txt CVML_UNKNOWN_999999 aircraft automobile bicycle bird bottle bus canine consumer_electronics feline fruit furniture headgear kite fish computer_monitor motorcycle musical_instrument document people food sign watersport train ungulates watercraft flower appliance sports_equipment tool

I was wondering if there is a quick way to convert a model trained with the open source CRFSuite for use with NLTagger? It seems like retraining should be possible but was wondering if automatic conversion was supported?

I am developing an iOS app that supports INPlayMediaIntent. We are trying to increase the recognition rate of content names, which are song titles, using AppIntentVocabulary. As a sample, some extracts are shown below. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>IntentPhrases</key> <array> <dict> <key>IntentName</key> <string>INPlayMediaIntent</string> <key>IntentExamples</key> <array> <string>Mezamashi Appで湖畔の朝を再生</string> <string>湖畔の朝をMezamashi Appで再生して</string> </array> </dict> </array> <key>ParameterVocabularies</key> <array> <dict> <key>ParameterNames</key> <array> <string>INPlayMediaIntent.playlistTitle</string> </array> <key>ParameterVocabulary</key> <array> <dict> <key>VocabularyItemIdentifier</key> <string>ID1</string> <key>VocabularyItemSynonyms</key> <array> <dict> <key>VocabularyItemPronunciation</key> <string>aogamagaeru</string> <key>VocabularyItemPhrase</key> <string>青ガマガエル</string> </dict> </array> </dict> <dict> <key>VocabularyItemIdentifier</key> <string>ID2</string> <key>VocabularyItemSynonyms</key> <array> <dict> <key>VocabularyItemPronunciation</key> <string>kohon no asa</string> <key>VocabularyItemPhrase</key> <string>湖畔の朝</string> </dict> </array> </dict> <dict> <key>VocabularyItemIdentifier</key> <string>ID3</string> <key>VocabularyItemSynonyms</key> <array> <dict> <key>VocabularyItemPronunciation</key> <string>kumageratachi no uta</string> <key>VocabularyItemPhrase</key> <string>クマゲラたちの歌</string> </dict> </array> </dict> </array> </dict> </array> </dict> </plist> When running on the iOS 17.5 simulator in Xcode 15.4, the results are as follows. mediaName = VocabularyItemIdentifier mediaIdentifier = nil <INMediaSearch: 0x6000026212c0> { reference = 0; mediaType = 0; sortOrder = 0; albumName = <null>; mediaName = ID1; genreNames = ( ); artistName = <null>; moodNames = ( ); releaseDate = <null>; mediaIdentifier = <null>; } However, when running on an iOS 17.5 device, the following applies. mediaName = VocabularyItemPhrase mediaIdentifier = VocabularyItemIdentifier <INMediaSearch: 0x301efd9e0> { reference = 0; mediaType = 5; sortOrder = 0; albumName = <null>; mediaName = 青ガマガエル; genreNames = ( ); artistName = <null>; moodNames = ( ); releaseDate = <null>; mediaIdentifier = ID1; } The results are not stable, for example, sometimes everything else returns null. I have tried everything, but it is just taking a long time. Does anyone have any advice on this?

iOS 18 adds a specific macro for exposing your search app intent, app entities, etc, to siri but how are you meant to add it to your existing objects without removing it entirely from < iOS 18 users? For example, i get the following error: AssistantIntent(schema:) is only available in iOS 18 or newer. Add @available attribute to enclosing struct. I don't want to do that since i still want to support iOS 17 users with my existing shortcuts. Do i need to duplicate my entire shortcuts model to add the new macro?

I want to add shortcut and Siri support using the new AppIntents framework. Running my intent using shortcuts or from spotlight works fine, as the touch based UI for the disambiguation is shown. However, when I ask Siri to perform this action, she gets into a loop of asking me the question to set the parameter. My AppIntent is implemented as following: struct StartSessionIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "start_recording" @Parameter(title: "activity", requestValueDialog: IntentDialog("which_activity")) var activity: ActivityEntity @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { let activityToSelect: ActivityEntity = self.activity guard let selectedActivity = Activity[activityToSelect.name] else { return .result(dialog: "activity_not_found") } ... return .result(dialog: "recording_started \(selectedActivity.name.localized())") } } The ActivityEntity is implemented like this: struct ActivityEntity: AppEntity { static var typeDisplayRepresentation = TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "activity") typealias DefaultQuery = MobilityActivityQuery static var defaultQuery: MobilityActivityQuery = MobilityActivityQuery() var id: String var name: String var icon: String var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(self.name.localized())", image: .init(systemName: self.icon)) } } struct MobilityActivityQuery: EntityQuery { func entities(for identifiers: [String]) async throws -> [ActivityEntity] { Activity.all()?.compactMap({ activity in identifiers.contains(where: { $0 == activity.name }) ? ActivityEntity(id: activity.name, name: activity.name, icon: activity.icon) : nil }) ?? [] } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [ActivityEntity] { Activity.all()?.compactMap({ activity in ActivityEntity(id: activity.name, name: activity.name, icon: activity.icon) }) ?? [] } } Has anyone an idea what might be causing this and how I can fix this behavior? Thanks in advance

Are there going to be any sessions on Image Playgrounds API for iOS? "Explore machine learning on Apple platforms" mentions the writing and points to sessions, but only mentions Image Playground without pointing to sessions.

I am trying to make a voip car play app using siri let assistant = CPAssistantCellConfiguration(position: .top, visibility: .always, assistantAction: .startCall) let siriTmeplate = CPListTemplate(title: "Siri", sections: [sectionItems, loadingSection], assistantCellConfiguration: assistant) siriTmeplate.tabSystemItem = .recents siriTmeplate.showsTabBadge = false Using the above code gives me the error "Error: Intent of type INStartCallIntent is not supported for this app category" on app luanch I have INStartCallIntent in my apps info plist and I have all the entitlements and I have "business" as the app category, I can fine 0 help online with this. what does this error really mean and how can I fix it please

From https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/06/introducing-apple-intelligence-for-iphone-ipad-and-mac/: Powered by Apple Intelligence, Siri becomes more deeply integrated into the system experience. With richer language-understanding capabilities, Siri is more natural, more contextually relevant, and more personal, with the ability to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. From https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/: Siri is more natural, more personal, and more deeply integrated into the system. Apple Intelligence provides Siri with enhanced action capabilities, and developers can take advantage of pre-defined and pre-trained App Intents across a range of domains to not only give Siri the ability to take actions in your app, but to make your app’s actions more discoverable in places like Spotlight, the Shortcuts app, Control Center, and more. SiriKit adopters will benefit from Siri’s enhanced conversational capabilities with no additional work. And with App Entities, Siri can understand content from your app and provide users with information from your app from anywhere in the system. Based on this, as well as the video at https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10133/ , my understanding is that in order for Siri to be able to execute tasks in applications, those applications must implement the Siri Intents API. Can someone at Apple please clarify: will it be possible for Siri or some other aspect of Apple Intelligence / Core ML / Create ML to take actions in applications which do not support these APIs (e.g. web apps, Citrix apps, legacy apps)? Thank you!

Hi all, I couldn't use random.PRNGKey to generate random seed. Wondering anyone has similar issue before and figure this out. Here is my current config: jax-metal==0.0.3, jaxlib==0.4.10, jax==0.4.11. I am using Apple M1 pro.

Hi I have only recently started working on ML on my Mac M1 Pro, previously I was working on a Windows platform. I am having difficulties getting my machine set up right so that its ready for the super fast training I was hoping for when I got it. Please help me with this and let me know if and where I am going wrong. So, I tried a custom dataset training using Yolov8 model. I want to train for a 100 epochs. Now the same dataset and hyperparameters take about 2.5 hours on a T4 GPU on Google Colab, whereas I was only at around 60 epochs after 24 hours on my M1 pro. I have home brew, miniconda, pytorch nightly for mac installed and set the device to mps when training the YOLO model. I feel that this is reaaallly slow. What should I be doing right? Thank you Lakshmi

Hello there, We currently have a crash in prod when executing the following line: let classificationRequest = try SNClassifySoundRequest(classifierIdentifier: .version1) It appears to only happen on iOS 17+ and only when regaining audio focus after an interruption in a background state. We are aware this call probably fails because it is happening from a background state - however - I would expect then that the SNClassifySoundRequest throws some kind of error since it is already an initializer that throws. If it is possible for the call to fail under certain circumstances, then could SNMLModelFactory throw an error instead of using try! ?

Regardless of the installation version combinations of tensorflow & metal (2.14, 2.15, 2.16), I find a metal/non-metal incompatibility for some layer types. For the GRU layer, for example, metal-trained weights (model.save_weights()/load_weights()) are not compatible with inference using the CPU. That is, train a model using metal, run inference using metal, then run inference again after uninstalling metal, and the results differ -- sometimes a night and day difference. This essentially eliminates the usefulness of tensorflow-metal for me. From my limited testing, models using other, simple combinations of layer types including Dense and LSTM do not show this problem. Just the GRU. And by "testing" I mean really simple models, like one GRU layer. Apple Framework Metal Team: You are doing very useful work, and I kindly ask, please address this bug :)

I noticed from the system requirements, TensorFlow only seems to support Python. Are there any plans to add JavaScript as TensorFlow has JS support? Thank you for your time...

Hello! I am developing an app that leverages Apple's 2D pose estimation model and I would love to speak with someone about if my mobile app should leverage Apple's 3D pose estimation model. Also, I would love to know if Apple considers adding more points on the body as this would be incredibly helpful. Or if it is possible for me to train the model to add more body points. Thanks so much and please let me know if anyone is available to discuss.
