Reply to Siri is not speaking shortcut voice responses
WTF! I just rechecked on my iPhone running iOS 14.5 and ... it just works as intended (and had with iOS 14): Obviously Apple had introduced some bug with the major iOS update which has been resolved, now. Unfortunately I never found a corresponding information in the change logs. - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211808/ I'm a happy camper, again...

Reply to Siri is not speaking shortcut voice responses
But you have mentioned that you have a bypass idea: to put string into clipboard and pronounce it. Does it work? And how to achieve it? Actually this topic has dropped from my todos - mostly because I didn't see any proper way forward. The idea via clipboard would require the user to set up a specific two-step workflow to (1.) run my app and propagate the clipboard and (2.) read its content via a factory action. I don't feel this is a viable solution. Is anybody able to have Siri just speak a text provided by an app extension? It still looks like I'm missing a point... Mattes

Reply to Receipt validation in Mac Catalyst
Today I re-tested with macOS 11 "Big Sur" and Xcode 12.3 (12C33): Receipt validation with Receigen just works with Mac Catalyst, using the iOS header: My app is retrieving the receipt and evaluating IAPs with "CheckInAppPurchasesAndReceipt" successfully. So far only tested in the sandbox as even with Big Sur my app doesn't provide the user experience I'm willing to ship... Cheers, Mattes

Reply to Recipe for Building OpenSSL static library for Apple Silicon & Intel?
I was able to build an XCFramework of OpenSSL v1.1.1h based on https://github.com/adib/openssl-xcframeworks/tree/develop/BigSur for all platforms with fat binaries for all architectures, including: macOS (x8664, arm64) iOS Mac Catalyst (x8664, arm64) iOS (armv7, arm64) iOS simulator (x8664, arm64) tvOS (arm64) tvOS simulator (x8664) watchOS (arm64_32, armv7k) I'm using it with a macOS deployment target 10.11...

Reply to Siri Intent Extension - How to just read result?
I solved this issue by adding Siri intents in the app delegate after launching the app. Works nicely with iOS < 14: The user can define a workflow with one shortcut, e.g. "Next Lesson", and Siri reads the result from my intent definition (voice only dialog response). With iOS 14 Siri isn't reading responses anymore, so the shortcut is run, displaying the result, but without any audio feedback. Unfortunately this was the main purpose of my intents, asking Siri just for some information to be read loud. Is this a general design decision in iOS? What do I need to implement to make Siri (again) reading intent results? Currently I can only think of a bypass, putting the result text into the clipboard and adding a second shortcut reading the clipboard (with is an iOS-provided one). Any thoughts? Mattes
