I've been struggling and Siri support to an application. I have developed it kept getting this error when I run it on MacOS: Failed to refresh AppShortcut parameters with error: Error Domain=Foundation._GenericObjCError Code=0 "(null)" So I found AppIntentsSampleApp and downloaded and buil it and I get a similar, but larger, error: Failed to refresh AppShortcut parameters with error: Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.private.xpc.launchd.app-server AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.assertiond.system-shell AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.runningboard.launchprocess)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=(originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.private.xpc.launchd.app-server AND originator doesn't have entitlement com.apple.assertiond.system-shell AND j And it goes on and on. What am I missing? I'm using Xcode 16. I don't see an option to add a Siri framework. I have tried adding both the intent and tap, intent frameworks, which does not seem to make a difference.

I’m working on generating images using Image Playground. The code works fine for other styles but fails when using an external provider. I don’t see any other requirements mentioned in the documentation. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Here’s the relevant code snippet: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/imageplayground/imageplaygroundstyle/externalprovider?changes=_2 The error message is also not very helpful. It simply states that the creation failed. Note: I have enabled ChatGPT Plus, and the image generation using ChatGPT styles works fine when using the Playground app. do { let creator = try await ImageCreator() let concept = ImagePlaygroundConcept.text("Love") let images = creator.images(for: [concept], style: .externalProvider, limit: 1) for try await image in images { // Handle image break } } catch { // Handle error } I’m using the iOS 26 RC, and when I print creator.availableStyles, it doesn’t display the external Provider. [ImagePlayground.ImagePlaygroundStyle(id: "animation", _representationInfo: nil), ImagePlayground.ImagePlaygroundStyle(id: "emoji", _representationInfo: nil), ImagePlayground.ImagePlaygroundStyle(id: "illustration", _representationInfo: nil), ImagePlayground.ImagePlaygroundStyle(id: "sketch", _representationInfo: nil), ImagePlayground.ImagePlaygroundStyle(id: "messages-background", _representationInfo: nil)]

I generate an array of random floats using the code shown below. However, I would like to do this with Double instead of Float. Are there any BNNS random number generators for double values, something like BNNSRandomFillUniformDouble? If not, is there a way I can convert BNNSNDArrayDescriptor from float to double? import Accelerate let n = 100_000_000 let result = Array<Float>(unsafeUninitializedCapacity: n) { buffer, initCount in var descriptor = BNNSNDArrayDescriptor(data: buffer, shape: .vector(n))! let randomGenerator = BNNSCreateRandomGenerator(BNNSRandomGeneratorMethodAES_CTR, nil) BNNSRandomFillUniformFloat(randomGenerator, &descriptor, 0, 1) initCount = n }

Do we know what a safe max token limit is? After some iterating, I have come to believe 4096 might be the limit on device. Could you help me out by answering any of these questions: Is 4096 the correct limit? Do all devices have the same limit? Will the limit change over time or by device? The errors I get when going over the limit do not seem to say, hey you are over, so it's just by trial and error that I figure these issues out. Thanks for the fun new toys. Regards, Rob

I am using the iPhone 17 Pro simulator that was included with Xcode 26.0.1. My Mac is running macOS 26. When I started the simulator for the first time I got the "Ready for Apple Intelligence" notification but when I access Image Playground in my app it says it is not available on this iPhone. Any solution to get it working on the simulator?

I’m developing an activity classifier that I’d like to input using the JSON format of CoreMotion data. I am getting the error: Unable to parse /Users/DewG/Downloads/Testing/Step1/Testing.json. It does not appear to be in JSON record format. A SequenceType of dictionaries is expected I've verified that the format I am using is JSON via various JSON validators, so I am expecting I'm just holding it wrong. Is there an example of a JSON file with CoreMotion data that I can model after?

Lookin for J - is this a safe place for discussing full apps ive built but not submitted or shared , I have maybe over 100 but had been unaware any assistance was provided.. is there a formal process to take to submit an app fro review to improve OS, other than during App Store review.

Hey guys 👋 I’ve been thinking about a feature idea for iOS that could totally change the way we interact with apps like Twitter/X. Imagine if we could define our own recommendation algorithm, and have an AI on the iPhone that replaces the suggested tweets in the feed with ones that match our personal interests — based on public tweets, and without hacking anything. Kinda like a personalized "AI skin" over the app that curates content you actually care about. Feels like this would make content way more relevant and less algorithmically manipulative. Would love to know what you all think — and if Apple could pull this off 🔥

We have suddenly encountered a serious issue: our local ML models are no longer being decrypted. Everything was set up according to the guide at https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/coreml/generating-a-model-encryption-key and had been working in production, but yesterday we started receiving the following error: Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=8 "Fetching decryption key from server failed: noEntryFound("No records found"). Make sure the encryption key was generated with correct team ID." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Fetching decryption key from server failed: noEntryFound("No records found"). Make sure the encryption key was generated with correct team ID.} We haven’t changed anything in our code. This started spontaneously affecting users of the release version as of yesterday. It also no longer works locally — we receive the same error at the moment the autogenerated function is called: class func load(configuration: MLModelConfiguration = MLModelConfiguration(), completionHandler handler: @escaping (Swift.Result<ZingPDModel, Error>) -> Void) I assume that I can generate a new key through Xcode, integrate it in place of the old one, and it might start working again. However, this won’t affect existing users until they update the app. Could the issue be on Apple’s infrastructure side?

When calling NLTagger.requestAssets with some languages, it hangs indefinitely both in the simulator and a device. This happens consistently for some languages like greek. An example call is NLTagger.requestAssets(for: .greek, tagScheme: .lemma). Other languages like french return immediately. I captured some logs from Console and found what looks like the repeated attempts to download the asset. I would expect the call to eventually terminate, either loading the asset or failing with an error.

Hello, We find that models sometimes load very fast (<< 1 second) and sometimes encounter very long load times (>> 120 seconds). During such slow load times, the model is being compiled. We would greatly appreciate the ability to check cache validity via CoreML and determine that we are about to encounter long load times so that we can mitigate and provide a good user experience. A secondary issue: sometimes the cache is corrupted (typically .mpsgraphpackage yielding Metal cold asserts). This yields load failures and OS errors that persist between launches, and we have to manually nuke the cache (~/Library/..../my-app/...) for the CoreML assets. A CoreML API for clearing caches and hardening from asserts across the load paths would be appreciated

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!

iOS26 is supported by a wider range of devices than are able to run AI, e.g iPhone 12 runs iOS26, but does not support AI. How do we determine in code if AI is supported on a device ? How do we determine what features use AI under the hood ? Thanks, Steve.

Hello folks! Taking a look at https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/foundationmodels it’s not clear how to use another models there. Do anyone knows if it’s possible use one trained model from outside (imported) here in foundation models framework? Thanks!

Pretty much as per the title and I suspect I know the answer. Given that Foundation Models run on device, is it possible to use Foundation Models framework inside of a DeviceActivityReport? I've been tinkering with it, and all I get is errors and "Sandbox restrictions". Am I missing something? Seems like a missed trick to utilise on device AI/ML with other frameworks.

Hi, i just wanna ask, Is it possible to run YOLOv3 on visionOS using the main camera to detect objects and show bounding boxes with labels in real-time? I’m wondering if camera access and custom models work for this, or if there’s a better way. Any tips?

Hi all, I’m encountering an issue when trying to run Apple Foundation Models in a blank project targeting iOS 26. Below are the details: Xcode: Latest version with iOS 26 SDK macOS: macOS 26 Tahoe (installed on main disk) Mac: 16” MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip Apple Intelligence: Available and functional on this machine Problem: I created a new blank iOS project, set the deployment target to iOS 26, and ran the following minimal code using Foundation Models. However, I get no response at all in the output - not even an error. The app runs, but the model does not produce any output. #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() let response = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me a story") } Then, I tried to catch an error with this code: #Playground { let session = LanguageModelSession() do { let response = try await session.respond(to: "Tell me a story") print(response) } catch { print("Failed to get response:", error) } print("This line, never gets executed") } And got these results: I’ve done further testing and discovered something important: I tried running the Code Along sample project, and there the #Playground macro worked without issues. The only significant difference I noticed was the Canvas run destination: In my original project, I was using iPhone 16 Pro (iOS 26) as the run target in Canvas. Apple Intelligence was enabled on the simulator, but no response was returned when executing the prompt. In the sample project, the Canvas was running on My Mac. I attempted to match that setup, but at first, my destination was My Mac (Designed for iPad), which still didn’t work. The macro finally executed properly once I switched to My Mac (AppKit). So the question is ... it seems that for now, Foundation Models and the #Playground macro only run correctly when the canvas or destination is set to “My Mac (AppKit)”?

I am experimenting with Foundation Models in my time tracking app to analyze users tracked events, but I am finding that the model struggles with even basic computation of time. Specifically converting from seconds to hours and minutes. To give just one example, when I prompt: "Convert 3672 seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds. Don't include the calculations in the resulting output" I get this: "3672 seconds is equal to 1 hour, 0 minutes, and 36 seconds". Which is clearly wrong - it should be 1 hour, 1 minute, and 12 seconds. Another issue that I saw a lot is that seconds were considered to be minutes, or that the hours were just completely off. What can I do to make the support for math better? Or is that just something that the model is not meant to be used for?

Hello, I am developing an iOS app that uses machine learning models. To improve accuracy and user experience, I would like to download .mlmodel files (compiled and compressed as zip files) from our own server after the app is installed, and use them for inference within the app. No executable code, scripts, or dynamic libraries will be downloaded—only model data files are used. According to App Store Review Guideline 2.5.2, I understand that apps may not download or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality. In this case, are compiled and zip-compressed .mlmodel files considered "data" rather than "code", and is it allowed to download and use them in the app? If there are any restrictions or best practices related to this, please let me know. Thank you.

How reliable is the Models, to use as a comparison, such as a cholesterol test, to inform, for example, whether it is worth it to go see a doctor? I would like to use Tool to attach the simple blood test data to the session and with this the Model can analyse and made a simple suggestion if is necessary to see a doctor etc.. ? ps.: Local model
