I am examining the ability of NaturalLanguage to identify placeNames. I ran across the example code in the developer documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/naturallanguage/identifying_people_places_and_organizations When I execute this example exactly as stated it does not function as expected. Running Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS Ventura 13.4. The code does not find a single tag of any kind in the sample text. Can someone offer an explanation?

I'm building an app for deployment on iPhone, iPad and Mac Catalyst. I am using Automatic Code Signing. Project build without a single warning of any kind... Debugging and running the app on both iPhone and iPad is working fine both in the simulators as well as on various test devices. I have now turned to debugging on my Mac (M1Pro-MBP). I have run Clean many times....When I set the run destination to My Mac Catalyst and run I immediately see a dialog stating: "The LaunchServices launcher has returned an error. Please check the system logs for the underlying cause of the error." There is button to reveal details. Those details are shown below. At the moment I am under the impression that this must be a relatively straightforward configuration issue which I have overlooked.... The app does contain an action and if I build and run only the action with Mac Catalyst as the destination it runs fine.. I only hit the error when I try to run the container app with embedded action with my Mac as the run destination.... Can anyone shed any light on this matter? All thoughts appreciated!

I have setup and verified a sandbox account for testing. I have received both email and text verification and received the email noting that the account has been enabled for two-factor. Yet I receive the error below on both iOS and macOS devices. Can someone shed some light on this matter? Thanks!

Folks; I have successfully implemented an iOS Action Extension which reads plain text from a user's selection. Now I want to augment this to allow the user the call the action on RTF or HTML. I have added NSExtensionActivationSupportsAttachmentsWithMinCount (1) and NSExtensionActivationSupportsAttachmentsWithMaxCount (3) to the ActivationRule. I have updated the ActionViewController to handle the itemProviders... BUT guard let extensionItems = extensionContext?.inputItems as? [NSExtensionItem] else {...} only shows 1 item of plainText... What else do I need to do to allow my action to handle RTF or HTML? Thanks for you time! Steve

I have MacCatalyst app that a few weeks ago I successfully submitted and it was approved for both the iOS app version as well as a macOS version (AppStoreConnect) Now when I use Archive in Xcode when the Organizer window opens the widget at top left is set to 'Other Items' additionally no version information is shown and the 'Validate' button is disabled... I know this is probably ridiculous but I don't see (nor do I recall) how I tell Xcode to archive for macCatalyst or archive for iOS.. Can someone help me out here - please?

I have a text based action for iPhone and Mac Catalyst I am developing in Xcode 14.3.1 on macOS 13.4.1. I have the container app, an action and an AppGroup defined. I have confirmed that I can read the necessary shared defaults when the action launches. At this point the UI for the action is a simple textview in which I hope to display a modified version of the text passed to the action in the NSExtensionItems. I am not using a simulator. I am running the action directly using Xcode. What is happening is that the ActionViewController viewDidLoad runs but no visible window opens. In the console I see this as the action launches: 2023-07-05 18:27:23.692277-0700 XYZ[4634:279295] [ViewBridge] ViewBridge attempted to look up a hosted window with identifier 8E816BD5-67D3-402D-ADEB-AC59EDFA1F3B, but it was never registered. 2023-07-05 18:27:23.692408-0700 XYZ[4634:279295] [WindowHosting] UIScene property of UINSSceneViewController was accessed before it was set. .... The last line above is repeated 12 times.... Any helpful ideas would be deeply appreciated! Steve
