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.

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'm trying to submit a build to external test for some important investor demos but the Submit button has vanished. Been like that for several hours and we really need to get this out. Has it moved somewhere?

I am not having any luck mutating a var in a structure, and yes, the method is defined as 'mutating' here's the struct definition: struct OnboardingSwipeableView: View{ static var shared = OnboardingSwipeableView() @State var currentPage = 0 var lock = NSLock() <snip> here's the method: mutating func goToNextPage(){ currentPage = self.currentPage+1 print("OBM->goToNestPage: currentPage=\(self.currentPage)") } however currentPage is not being updated. What gives?

I'll ask Siri: What is the weather?" and will get a valid response I'll ask Siri to execute a shortcut my app has created I get "what is the order?" (a phrase nowhere in my app) I'll repeat the question about the weather I now get "what is the order?" ***?

I am shown as being subscribed to our service in the Subscriptions list in settings yet when going to the Storekit2 page in my app it shows me as NOT being subscribed and is unresponsive. I select Restore Subscription, that grays briefly, asks for a password, then returns to blue and nothing else happens. Bouncing back and forth between monthly and yearly likewise gives no response. The Transaction.currentEntitlements seems to be empty so it thinks the user is not subscribed. I have unsubscribed, and resubscribed via the Settings page to no avail.

Just when I think I am finally starting to understand Swift I come across a gotcha like the following: I have two object, a swiftui display and one of data to be displayed. Ok, sounds easy. The data is read out of a JSON file so I have a set of arrays and dictionaries. The data is valid when read, it is definitely there, but when I go to display it, its gone. Just vanished. Wasted about a day on this so far, and I’ve seen it before, the inability to pass out of an object an array or dictionary with contents intact. If I create an array var, and not let the system do it, contents are preserved. So, in the data object I’ll have something like this: struct DataObject{ var item: [String:Any] item=JSONData serialized out of memory, and may have say, 12 fields } In my SwiftUI module I have: var item=dataObject.item dataObject.item now has 0 fields. I can allocate and initialize a dictionary in DataObject and those elements come through fine. So it seems like the stuff being serialized from JSON is being deleted out from under me.

Anyone else experiencing longer than normal review times? Right now it's five days and counting. I surmise that maybe ppl may be taking early Christmas vacations.
