Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing a consistent crash in Xcode 16.4 (on macOS 15.5 when working with SiriKit .intentdefinition files.
🐛 Issue
Whenever I try to add or modify an intent and then hit ⌘S to save, Xcode immediately crashes.
This happens both with:
Newly created .intentdefinition files
Existing ones already linked to a Widget target
I’ve tried:
Clearing DerivedData
Recreating the intent file from scratch
Minimal edits (only 1 intent and 1 parameter)
Setting correct IntentsSupported in the Info.plist
Editing in Xcode and using Target Membership properly
Still, Xcode crashes consistently when I save.
⚙️ Environment
Xcode: 16.4
macOS: 15.5
Mac: Mac Studio M2 Max
✅ Workaround
I’m currently editing the .intentdefinition file manually in source mode or using a text editor, which avoids the crash — but it’s far from ideal.
💬 Question
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is there a known fix or workaround that allows safe editing in Interface Builder?
Any response from Apple engineering would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
