We're using App Intents to launch are control our app via Siri. Siri's responses have been fairly random, some with a "Done" popup, others with a verbal confirmation, others saying "I'm sorry, there's been a problem". The latter is bogus and doesn't look good to potential investors when the app is actually working fine. There appears to be no way in code that I've been able to find so far that would have been tell Siri to STFU. Let us handle our own errors. Otherwise is there a means to supply Siri with a dictionary of restored messages that could be triggered inside the app?

I've been working on a project with App Intents and have hit a complete wall. The desire is to have an app that allows a person to place an order of something and have that order processed while in lock screen without any intervention. Is that workflow possible without having to unlock the screen? Under what circumstances can a task be handled without unlocking the device. Going over some of the documentation about older custom intents strongly implies that this was possible under certain circumstances.

I am in a weird twilight-zone of a git problem in xcode. I specify some files to be staged and it fails to do with no warning of any sort. So I cannot commit them or apply stashed changes to them. I can do it one.file.at.a.time. I have over 11k intermediate files that .gitignore won't ignore, nor stage nor commit to do anything so I could stop tracking them.

In prep for a push this evening did the usual clean and rebuild. But now I'm getting errors that it can't find files with .swiftdoc, swiftsourceinfo, and swiftmodule files. The few postings I can find about that said that reinstalling xcode fixed it, well , not i my case. Any ideas short of reconstructing the entire project from scratch?

I've been pouring over the code for Apple's visionOS demo: "Destination" trying to figure out something about its skybox. (not really a box, there, Apple). The skybox contains a 360deg panorama, but only one half shows with the other half fades out to nothing. I cannot find anywhere there is an alpha channel being set, a lighting or material effect causing that. But "alpha" doesn't show up and the only gradients are use to make controls standout a little more in its window. I need a full panorama that shows., no fading.

I have an iPhone VR app, but on the appstore page it says "Compatible with iPad". The full VR effect was only with the iPhone, but it's not showing that, nor is there any apparent way to set that in the metadata. So I am assuming that's automated. Any ideas how to fix it?

My startup screen (not using a formal splash screen) opens up and almost immediately jumps to the right about 50 pixels. Not sure if this is notch related but I suspect it is. Any ideas?
