I've been following along with "App Shortcuts" development but cannot get Siri to run my Intent. The intent on its own works in Shortcuts, along with a couple others that aren't in the AppShortcutsProvder structure.
I keep getting the following two errors, but cannot figure out why this is occurring with documentation or other forum posts.
No ConnectionContext found for 12909953344
Attempted to fetch App Shortcuts, but couldn't find the AppShortcutsProvider.
Here are the relevant snippets of code -
(1) The AppIntent definition
struct SetBrightnessIntent: AppIntent {
static var title = LocalizedStringResource("Set Brightness")
static var description = IntentDescription("Set Glass Display Brightness")
@Parameter(title: "Level")
var level: Int?
static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary {
Summary("Set Brightness to \(\.$level)%")
}
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
guard let level = level else {
throw $level.needsValueError("Please provide a brightness value")
}
if level > 100 || level <= 0 {
throw $level.needsValueError("Brightness must be between 1 and 100")
}
// do stuff with level
return .result()
}
}
(2) The AppShortcutsProvider (defined in my iOS app target, there are no other targets)
struct MyAppShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider {
static var shortcutTileColor: ShortcutTileColor = .grayBlue
@AppShortcutsBuilder
static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] {
AppShortcut(
intent: SetBrightnessIntent(),
phrases: [
"set \(.applicationName) brightness to \(\.$level)",
"set \(.applicationName) brightness to \(\.$level) percent"
],
shortTitle: LocalizedStringResource("Set Glass Brightness"),
systemImageName: "sun.max"
)
}
}
Does anything here look wrong? Is there some magical key that I need to specify in Info.plist to get Siri to recognize the AppShortcutsProvider?

Hi, The most recent version of tensorflow-metal is only available for macosx 12.0 and python up to version 3.11. Is there any chance it could be updated with wheels for macos 15 and Python 3.12 (which is the default version supported for tensrofllow 2.17+)? I'd note that even downgrading to Python 3.11 would not be sufficient, as the wheels only work for macos 12.
Thanks.
Here's the result:
Very weird.

We’ve encountered what appears to be a CoreML regression between macOS 26.0.1 and macOS 26.1 Beta.
In macOS 26.0.1, CoreML models run and produce correct results. However, in macOS 26.1 Beta, the same models produce scrambled or corrupted outputs, suggesting that tensor memory is being read or written incorrectly. The behavior is consistent with a low-level stride or pointer arithmetic issue — for example, using 16-bit strides on 32-bit data or other mismatches in tensor layout handling.
Reproduction
Install ON1 Photo RAW 2026 or ON1 Resize 2026 on macOS 26.0.1.
Use the newest Highest Quality resize model, which is Stable Diffusion–based and runs through CoreML.
Observe correct, high-quality results.
Upgrade to macOS 26.1 Beta and run the same operation again.
The output becomes visually scrambled or corrupted.
We are also seeing similar issues with another Stable Diffusion UNet model that previously worked correctly on macOS 26.0.1. This suggests the regression may affect multiple diffusion-style architectures, likely due to a change in CoreML’s tensor stride, layout computation, or memory alignment between these versions.
Notes
The affected models are exported using standard CoreML conversion pipelines.
No custom operators or third-party CoreML runtime layers are used.
The issue reproduces consistently across multiple machines.
It would be helpful to know if there were changes to CoreML’s tensor layout, precision handling, or MLCompute backend between macOS 26.0.1 and 26.1 Beta, or if this is a known regression in the current beta.
I am working on an app using FoundationModels to process web pages.
I am looking to find ways to filter the input to fit within the token limits.
I have unit tests, UI tests and the app running on an iPad in the simulator. It appears that the different configurations of the test environment seems to affect the token limits.
That is, the same input in a unit test and UI test will hit different token limits.
Is this correct? Or is this an artifact of my test tooling?

Hello,
I am developing an app for the Swift Student challenge; however, I keep encountering an error when using ClassifyImageRequest from the Vision framework in Xcode:
VTEST: error: perform(_:): inside 'for await result in resultStream' error: internalError("Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-1 \"Failed to create espresso context.\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to create espresso context.}")
It works perfectly when testing it on a physical device, and I saw on another thread that ClassifyImageRequest doesn't work on simulators. Will this cause problems with my submission to the challenge?
Thanks

My iOS app supports iOS 18, and I’m using an encrypted CoreML model secured with a key generated from Xcode.
Every few months (around every 3 months), the encrypted model fails to load for both me and my users. When I investigate, I find this error:
coreml Fetching decryption key from server failed: noEntryFound("No records found"). Make sure the encryption key was generated with correct team ID
To temporarily fix it, I delete the old key, generate a new one, re-encrypt the model, and submit an app update. This resolves the issue, but only for a while.
This is a terrible experience for users and obviously not a sustainable solution.
I want to understand:
Why is this happening?
Is there a known expiration or invalidation policy for CoreML encryption keys?
How can I prevent this issue permanently?
Any insights or official guidance would be really appreciated.
I've run into an issue with a small Foundation Models test with Generable. I'm getting a strange error message with this Generable. I was able to get simpler ones to work.
Is this because the Generable is recursive with a property of [HTMLDiv]?
The error message is:
FoundationModels/SchemaAugmentor.swift:209: Fatal error: 'try!' expression unexpectedly raised an error: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.undefinedReferences(schema: Optional("SafeResponse<HTMLDiv>"), references: ["HTMLDiv"], context: FoundationModels.GenerationSchema.SchemaError.Context(debugDescription: "Undefined types: [HTMLDiv]", underlyingErrors: []))
The code is:
import FoundationModels
import Playgrounds
@Generable
struct HTMLDiv {
@Guide(description: "Optional named ID, useful for nicknames")
var id: String? = nil
@Guide(description: "Optional visible HTML text")
var textContent: String? = nil
@Guide(description: "Any child elements", .count(0...10))
var children: [HTMLDiv] = []
static var sample: HTMLDiv {
HTMLDiv(
id: "profileToolbar",
children: [
HTMLDiv(textContent: "Log in"),
HTMLDiv(textContent: "Sign up"),
]
)
}
}
#Playground {
do {
let session = LanguageModelSession {
"Your job is to generate simple HTML markup"
"Here is an example response to the prompt: 'Make a profile toolbar':"
HTMLDiv.sample
}
let response = try await session.respond(
to: "Make a sign up form",
generating: HTMLDiv.self
)
print(response.content)
} catch {
print(error)

Hi, DataScannerViewController does't recognize currencies less than 1.00 (e.g. 0.59 USD, 0.99 EUR, etc.). Why? How to solve the problem?
This feature is not described in Apple documentation, is there a solution?
This is my code:
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> DataScannerViewController {
let dataScanner = DataScannerViewController(recognizedDataTypes: [ .text(textContentType: .currency)])
return dataScanner
}
Hi, I am a new IOS developer, trying to learn to integrate the Apple Foundation Model.
my set up is:
Mac M1 Pro
MacOS 26 Beta
Version 26.0 beta 3
Apple Intelligence & Siri --> On
here is the code,
func generate() {
Task {
isGenerating = true
output = "⏳ Thinking..."
do {
let session = LanguageModelSession( instructions: """
Extract time from a message. Example
Q: Golfing at 6PM
A: 6PM
""")
let response = try await session.respond(to: "Go to gym at 7PM")
output = response.content
} catch {
output = "❌ Error:, \(error)"
print(output)
}
isGenerating = false
}
and I get these errors
guardrailViolation(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Prompt may contain sensitive or unsafe content", underlyingErrors: [Asset com.apple.gm.safety_embedding_deny.all not found in Model Catalog]))
Can you help me get through this?
Hello,
Are there any plans to compile a python 3.13 version of tensorflow-metal?
Just got my new Mac mini and the automatically installed version of python installed by brew is python 3.13 and while if I was in a hurry, I could manage to get python 3.12 installed and use the corresponding tensorflow-metal version but I'm not in a hurry.
Many thanks,
Alan
I'm currently trying to add support for Image Playground to our apps. It seems that it's not working in an app that is "Designed for iPad" and runs on a Mac. The modal just shows a spinner and the following is logged to console:
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
GP extension could not be loaded: Extension (platform: 2) could not be found (in update)
dealloc Query controller [C32BA176-6A3E-465D-B3C5-0F8D91068B89]
ImagePlaygroundViewController.isAvailable returns true, however.
In a "real" Mac Catalyst app, it's working. Just not when the app is actually an iPad app.
Is this a bug?

I am excited to try Foundation Models during WWDC, but it doesn't work at all for me. When running on my iPad Pro M4 with iPadOS 26 seed 1, I get the following error even when running the simplest query:
let prompt = "How are you?"
let stream = session.streamResponse(to: prompt)
for try await partial in stream {
self.answer = partial
self.resultString = partial
}
In the Xcode console, I see the following error:
assetsUnavailable(FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError.Context(debugDescription: "Model is unavailable", underlyingErrors: []))
I have verified that Apple Intelligence is enabled on my iPad. Any tips on how can I get it working? I have also submitted this feedback: FB17896752

Hi
For certain tasks, such as qualitative analysis or tagging, it is advisable to provide the AI with the option to respond with a joker / wild card answer when it encounters difficulties in tagging or scoring. For instance, you can include this slot in the prompt as follows:
output must be "not data to score" when there isn't information to score.
In the absence of these types of slots, AI trends to provide a solution even when there is insufficient information.
Foundations Models are told to be prompted with simple prompts. I wonder: Is recommended keep this slot though adds verbose complexity? Is the best place the comment of a guided attribute? other tips?
Another use case is when you want the AI to be tied to the information provided in the prompt and not take information from its data set. What is the best approach to this purpose?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

I am watching a few WWDC sessions on Foundation Model and its usage and it looks pretty cool.
I was wondering if it is possible to perform RAG on the user documents on the devices and entuallly on iCloud...
Let's say I have a lot of pages documents about me and I want the Foundation model to access those information on the documents to answer questions about me that can be retrieved from the documents.
How can this be done ?
Thanks

Hello!
I'm following the Foundation Models adapter training guide (https://developer.apple.com/apple-intelligence/foundation-models-adapter/) on my NVIDIA DGX Spark box. I'm able to train on my own data but the example notebook fails when I try to export the artifact as an fmadapter. I get the following error for the code block I'm trying to run. I haven't touched any of the code in the export folder. I tried exporting it on my Mac too and got the same error as well (given below). Would appreciate some more clarity around this. Thank you.

I have reinstalled everything including command line tools but the CreateML frameworks fail to install, I need the framework so that I can train my auto-categorzation model which predicts category based on descriptions. I need that framework because I want to use reviision 4.
please suggest advice on how do I proceed
Hi friends,
I have just found that the inference speed dropped to only 1/10 of the original model.
Had anyone encountered this?

Hi,
I'm working with vision framework to detect barcodes. I tested both ean13 and data matrix detection and both are working fine except for the QuadrilateralProviding values in the returned BarcodeObservation. TopLeft, topRight, bottomRight and bottomLeft coordinates are rotated 90° counter clockwise (physical bottom left of data Matrix, the corner of the "L" is returned as the topLeft point in observation). The same behaviour is happening with EAN13 Barcode.
Did someone else experienced the same issue with orientation? Is it normal behaviour or should we expect a fix in next releases of the Vision Framework?
