I use NSUserAppleScriptTask in my app to call Apple Script method to send Apple Events to Finder and System Events. The script has been deployed in the folder ~/Library/Application Scripts/{app bundle id}/ I have configured the com.apple.security.automation.apple-events in the .entitlements file, but how to configure com.apple.security.scripting-targets to meet the AppStore review requirements The existing official documentation is too incomplete to be of much use. If anyone has had similar experience, could you please share?

When my Intents extension resolves an INStartCallIntent and returns .continueInApp while the device is locked, the call does not proceed unless the user unlocks the device. After unlocking, the app receives the NSUserActivity and CallKit proceeds normally. My expectation is that the native CallKit outgoing UI should appear and the call should start without requiring unlock — especially when using AirPods, where attention is not available. Steps to Reproduce Pair and connect AirPods. Lock the iPhone. Start music playback (e.g. Apple Music). Place the phone face down (or cover Face ID sensors so attention isn’t available). Say: “Hey Siri, call Tommy with DiscoMonday(My app name).” Observed Behavior Music mutes briefly. Siri says “Calling Tommy with DiscoMonday.” Lock screen shows “Require Face ID / passcode.” After several seconds, music resumes. The app is not launched, no NSUserActivity is delivered, and no CXStartCallAction occurs. With the phone face up, the same phrase launches the app, triggers CXStartCallAction, and the call proceeds via CallKit after faceID. Expected Behavior From the lock screen, Siri should hand off INStartCallIntent to the app, which immediately requests CXStartCallAction and drives the CallKit UI (reportOutgoingCall(...startedConnectingAt:) → ...connectedAt:), without requiring device unlock, regardless of orientation or attention availability when AirPods are connected.

Looking for any method to quickly flatten a PDF without opening Preview and without installing 3 party software. Any ideas? Save as PDF in Preview works, but I don't want to have to open Preview each time I need to do this. The Create PDF action which appears in Finder when you select 2 or more PDFs flattens PDFs, but it requires me to select 2 or more files, and I generally don't want to combine PDFs--I simply wish to flatten a PDF. Most Automator and Shortcuts options I am aware of do not flatten PDFs, and in some cases, strip out form field data from PDFs.

Hi, I have AppShortcutsProvider in my app target(not as a separate extension) to support Siri command. It is working perfectly in English, but I would also like to add a localisation on it as my app supports multiple languages. struct MyShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static let shortcutTileColor: ShortcutTileColor = .grape static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: NextClassAppIntents(), phrases: [ "What is my next class in \(.applicationName)?", "What's the next class in \(.applicationName)?", "Next class in \(.applicationName)." ], shortTitle: "Next Class", systemImageName: "calendar.badge.clock" ) } } Xcode String Catalog was doing great jobs, It also detected shortTitle automatically and added that to the Catalog. However, I don't see localisation for those phrases anywhere in the String Catalog and when I try to use String(localized: ), compiler gives me an error. How can I properly localise AppShortcutPhrase?

Here is the appleScript part of my script: tell application "Finder" activate open application file "Messages.app" of folder "Applications" of folder "System" of startup disk end tell What I need is a step to send the message already inside the Mesage.app. The message is ready to send. I just would like a step that will act as "Return" to send the message. Again I have already prepared message to send but just need a step to send the message. Is there a possible step to perform the" Return" command to iMessage?

Not quite but maybe sorta related to the errOSAInternalTableOverflow problem I asked about in a different thread, this one deals with crashes our app gets (and much more frequently lately after recent OS updates (15.7.3) are OK'd by our IT department). Our app can run multiple jobs concurrently, each in their own NSOperation. Each op creates its own SBApplication instance that controls unique instances of InDesignServer. What I'm seeing recently is lots of crashes happening while multiple ops are calling into ScriptingBridge. Shown at the bottom is one of the stack crawls from one of the threads. I've trimmed all but the last of our code. Other threads have a similar stack crawl. In searching for answers, Google's AI overview mentions "If you must use multiple threads, ensure that each thread creates its own SBApplication instance…" Which is what we do. No thread can reach another thread's SBApplication instance. Is that statement a lie? Do I need to lock around every ScriptingBridge call (which is going to severely slow things down)? 0 AE 0x1a7dba8d4 0x1a7d80000 + 239828 1 AE 0x1a7d826d8 AEProcessMessage + 3496 2 AE 0x1a7d8f210 0x1a7d80000 + 61968 3 AE 0x1a7d91978 0x1a7d80000 + 72056 4 AE 0x1a7d91764 0x1a7d80000 + 71524 5 CoreFoundation 0x1a0396a64 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE0_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ + 28 6 CoreFoundation 0x1a03969f8 __CFRunLoopDoSource0 + 172 7 CoreFoundation 0x1a0396764 __CFRunLoopDoSources0 + 232 8 CoreFoundation 0x1a03953b8 __CFRunLoopRun + 840 9 CoreFoundation 0x1a03949e8 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 572 10 AE 0x1a7dbc108 0x1a7d80000 + 246024 11 AE 0x1a7d988fc AESendMessage + 4724 12 ScriptingBridge 0x1ecb652ac -[SBAppContext sendEvent:error:] + 80 13 ScriptingBridge 0x1ecb5eb4c -[SBObject sendEvent:id:keys:values:count:] + 216 14 ScriptingBridge 0x1ecb6890c -[SBCommandThunk invoke:] + 376 15 CoreFoundation 0x1a037594c ___forwarding___ + 956 16 CoreFoundation 0x1a03754d0 _CF_forwarding_prep_0 + 96 17 RRD 0x1027fca18 -[AppleScriptHelper runAppleScript:withSubstitutionValues:usingSBApp:] + 1036

Hi, new to this forum. Recently discovered how to share a location in Maps app with my Tesla to automatically start navigating. How cool is that! Being the nerd that I am, I wrote a shortcut to select a contact and share it's address with my Tesla. That way, I don't leave the Maps app in memory to use up my battery, and don't have to go to all the trouble of swiping Maps out of memory. JK. Anyway, when I share the shortcut-selected address with the Tesla, it says "Error this content could not be shared". To me this means the address as shared by the shortcut is not in the same format as when you share it directly from Maps. So the question is, how can I send a properly formatted location from my shortcut? Thanks...

Hi! I have an AppShortcutsProvider that has been marked @available(iOS 17.0, *), because all Intents used within it are only available in iOS 17. So the static var appShortcuts should only be accessible in iOS 17, obviously. Now this code has been released and works fine for iOS 17 users. But I just noticed that around 150 iOS 16 users have crashed in the static var appShortcuts, or more specifically, the defaultQuery of one of the Intents. This should not be possible, as neither the AppShortcutsProvider, nor the Intent is exposed to iOS 16, they are marked as @available(iOS 17.0, *). Any idea why this could happen? Here is the crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 libswiftCore.dylib 0x3e178c swift::ResolveAsSymbolicReference::operator()(swift::Demangle::__runtime::SymbolicReferenceKind, swift::Demangle::__runtime::Directness, int, void const*) 1 libswiftCore.dylib 0x40bec4 swift::Demangle::__runtime::Demangler::demangleSymbolicReference(unsigned char) 2 libswiftCore.dylib 0x408254 swift::Demangle::__runtime::Demangler::demangleType(__swift::__runtime::llvm::StringRef, std::__1::function<swift::Demangle::__runtime::Node* (swift::Demangle::__runtime::SymbolicReferenceKind, swift::Demangle::__runtime::Directness, int, void const*)>) 3 libswiftCore.dylib 0x3e9680 swift_getTypeByMangledNameImpl(swift::MetadataRequest, __swift::__runtime::llvm::StringRef, void const* const*, std::__1::function<swift::TargetMetadata<swift::InProcess> const* (unsigned int, unsigned int)>, std::__1::function<swift::TargetWitnessTable<swift::InProcess> const* (swift::TargetMetadata<swift::InProcess> const*, unsigned int)>) 4 libswiftCore.dylib 0x3e4d9c swift_getTypeByMangledName 5 libswiftCore.dylib 0x3e50ac swift_getTypeByMangledNameInContext 6 MyApp 0x3f6b8c __swift_instantiateConcreteTypeFromMangledName (<compiler-generated>) 7 MyApp 0x640e3c one-time initialization function for defaultQuery + 146 (IntentAction.swift:146) 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x3eac _dispatch_client_callout 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x56ec _dispatch_once_callout 10 MyApp 0x64109c protocol witness for static AppEntity.defaultQuery.getter in conformance IntentAction + 124 (IntentAction.swift:124) 11 AppIntents 0x15c760 _swift_stdlib_malloc_size 12 AppIntents 0x19dfd4 __swift_destroy_boxed_opaque_existential_1Tm 13 MyApp 0x52dadc specialized ActionIntent.init(action:) + 41 (ActionIntent.swift:41) 14 MyApp 0x52df80 specialized static MyShortcuts.appShortcuts.getter + 17 (MyShortcuts.swift:17)

使用APPIntent 的AppShortcutsProvider方式，最多只能添加10个AppShortcut，超过10个，代码编译就会报错 struct MeditationShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: StartMeditationIntent(), phrases: [ "Start a (.applicationName)", "Begin (.applicationName)", "Meditate with (.applicationName)", "Start a (.$session) session with (.applicationName)", "Begin a (.$session) session with (.applicationName)", "Meditate on (.$session) with (.applicationName)" ] ) } } 如何能做到像特斯拉APP一样

I need to have a dynamic parameter for Shortcuts, so a person can say something like Hey Siri, order a pizza with The parameter code in the appIntent is @Parameter(title: "Title") var itemName: String In the Shortcut I use: AppShortcut( intent: NewItemIntent(), phrases: [ "order \(\.$itemName) using \(.applicationName)" ], shortTitle: "Order Item", systemImageName: "sparkles" ) When I call it "hey Siri, order pizza using ***" where pizza should be passed via the parameter then handed off to the appintent. However, it ignores the spoken parameter in lieu of putting up a dialog asking "What's the name?" I can say "pizza" and it now works. How can I pick up the parameter without having to go to that second step as the code implies?

I have seen some application having custom images in shortcuts app, but after refreing all the apple documentation and source code im yet to figure out a way to show images. the AppShortcutProvider only supports Sfsymbols as of now. then how come other applications is able to do this ? please advice ?

The built-in Books and iMessages on the latest macOS can not handle Shortcuts properly. If Books (no matter the Home scheme or the reading scheme) or iMessages is the current focused application, Shortcuts doesn't work. Once I move out and focus app turns to Finder or any other app, Shortcuts works properly. An exception is that when I pin the shortcut in the Menu Bar, the Menu Bar one works, while the one in the application's menu doesn't work. I have no idea why this would happen. Could it be part of privilege control or something?

I am trying to create an App Intent that lets a user select a day in the itinerary of a trip. The trip has to be chosen before the days available can be displayed. When the PlanActivityIntentDemo intent is ran from the shortcuts app, the trip selected is not injected into the appropriate TripItineraryDayQueryDemo Entity Query. Is there a way to get the selected trip to be injected at run time from shortcuts app. Here's some code for illustration: // Entity Definition: import AppIntents struct ShortcutsItineraryDayEntityDemo: Identifiable, Hashable, AppEntity { typealias DefaultQuery = TripItineraryDayQueryDemo static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "Trip Itinerary Day" var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { "Trip Day" } var id: String static var defaultQuery: DefaultQuery { TripItineraryDayQueryDemo() } init() { self.id = UUID().uuidString } } struct TripItineraryDayQueryDemo: EntityQuery { // This only works in shortcut editor but not at runtime. Why? How can I fix this issue? @IntentParameterDependency<PlanActivityIntentDemo>(\.$tripEntity) var tripEntity @IntentParameterDependency<PlanActivityIntentDemo>(\.$title) var intentTitle func entities(for identifiers: [ShortcutsItineraryDayEntityDemo.ID]) async throws -> [ShortcutsItineraryDayEntityDemo] { print("entities being called with identifiers: \(identifiers)") // This method is called when the app needs to fetch entities based on identifiers. let tripsStore = TripsStore() guard let trip = tripEntity?.tripEntity.trip, let itineraryId = trip.firstItineraryId else { print("No trip or itinerary ID can be found for the selected trip.") return [] } return [] // return empty for this demo } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [ShortcutsItineraryDayEntityDemo] { print("suggested itinerary days being called") let tripsStore = TripsStore() guard let trip = tripEntity?.tripEntity.trip, let itineraryId = trip.firstItineraryId else { print("No trip or itinerary ID found for the selected trip.") return [] } return [] } } struct PlanActivityIntentDemo: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource { "Plan New Activity" } // The selected trip fails to get injected when intent is run from shortcut app @Parameter(title: "Trip", description: "The trip to plan an activity for", requestValueDialog: "Which trip would you like to plan an activity for?") var tripEntity: ShortcutsTripEntity @Parameter(title: "Activity Title", description: "The title of the activity", requestValueDialog: "What do you want to do or see?") var title: String @Parameter(title: "Activity Day", description: "Activity Day") var activityDay: ShortcutsItineraryDayEntity func perform() async throws -> some ProvidesDialog { // This is a demo intent, so we won't actually perform any actions. .result(dialog: "Activity '\(title)' planned") } }

My question is similar to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757298?answerId=791343022#791343022 but the solution from there did not help me. My app sends messages. I need it to do so when a user says to Siri: "Send message with ". When a user says so, Siri shows "Open button and says " hasn't added support for that with Siri". The code is pretty short and must work, but it doesn't. Could you please help and explain how to add the support mentioned above? How else I can use AppIntent and register the app as one capable to send messages when asked by Siri? import AppIntents @main struct MyAppNameApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } init() { MyAppNameShortcuts.updateAppShortcutParameters() Task { await MyAppNameShortcuts.updateAppShortcutParameters() } } } struct SendMessageWithMyAppName: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Send message" static let description = IntentDescription( "Dictate a message and have MyAppName print it to the Xcode console.") @Parameter(title: "Message", requestValueDialog: "What should I send?") var content: String static var openAppWhenRun = false func perform() async throws -&gt; some IntentResult { print("MyAppName message: \(content)") await MainActor.run { NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .newMessageReceived, object: content) } return .result(dialog: "Message sent: \(content)") } } struct MyAppNameShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: SendMessageWithMyAppName(), phrases: [ "Send message with \(.applicationName)" ], shortTitle: "Send Message", systemImageName: "message" ) } }

I want to offer the user the opportunity to add more stuff to a list in AppIntents, but nothing I've tried "loops back" to the first Siri query. Checked several LLMs and they are suggest using "requestDialog" which doesn't exist, and calling recursively my AppIntent. Is this even possible?

On a CI infrastructure we connect nodes through SSH, and launch automated apps testing. Since Macos Tahoe: When launching an App through SSH with full executable binary path App doesn't show up in apps bar and top menu No keyboard events are received (mouse work well) How to reproduce: ssh <YOUR_MAC_TAHOE> /Applications/Pages.app/Contents/MacOS/Pages # ==> Navigate until you can enter text, no keyboard input are working # ==> App do not show up on app bar # ==> Work as expected if launched from a local terminal open /Applications/Pages.app # ==> work well Do I miss a system configuration to restore ability to launch apps from SSH ? Note: We use full executable binary path (not bundle path/.app folder) because our test application require this full path (Qt Squish)

I'm making a PoC for Visual Intelligence integration in iOS. It's a very simple setup... the extension will always reply with a couple of static "results" just so I can verify that it's working and figure out how to handle receiving app activation from the Intents framework. The app seems to be registering the VI intent correctly, because I see my app's name in the tab list of providers for search results, but when I select my app, I always get no results. I looked at the console for the moment I'm selecting my app and seeing this error: error 16:37:09.433057-0600 duetexpertd [com.hairlessape.VisualIntelligenceProvider.VIAppIntent] Unable to get connection interface: Error Domain=LNConnectionErrorDomain Code=1100 "Unable to locate `com.hairlessape.VisualIntelligenceProvider.VIAppIntent` for the `com.apple.appintents-extension` extension point" No amount of web searching or AI interrogation has produced any headwind here. I've checked the build product and I can see the VIAppIntent.appex file in the Extensions\ folder of my app bundle. I've triple checked the bundle identifiers, code file membership, installed the app from an IPA, restarted my phone, etc. I cannot get my intent to be queried and it's very frustrating. I've put the PoC project on Github: https://github.com/JoshuaSullivan/VisualSearchForVI

I am implementing AppIntent into my application as follows: // MARK: - SceneDelegate var window: UIWindow? private var observer: NSObjectProtocol? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = (scene as?

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver( forName: NSNotification.Name("ShortcutTriggered"), object: nil, queue: .main ) { notification in if let userInfo = notification.userInfo, let appName = userInfo["appName"] as? String { print("📱 Notification received - app is launched: \(appName)") } } } private func checkShortcutLaunch() { if let appName = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "shortcutAppName") { print("🚀 App is opened from a Shortcut with the app name: \(appName)") } } func sceneDidDisconnect(_ scene: UIScene) { if let observer = observer { NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(observer) } } } // MARK: - App Intent struct StartAppIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Start App" static var description = IntentDescription("Launch the application with the command") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { UserDefaults.standard.set("appName", forKey: "shortcutAppName") UserDefaults.standard.set(Date(), forKey: "shortcutTimestamp") return .result() } } // MARK: - App Shortcuts Provider struct AppShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: StartAppIntent(), phrases: [ "let start \(.applicationName)", ], shortTitle: "Start App", systemImageName: "play.circle.fill" ) } } the app works fine when starting with shortcut. but when starting with siri it seems like the log is not printed out, i tried adding a code that shows a dialog when receiving a notification from userdefault but it still shows the dialog, it seems like the problem here is when starting with siri there is a problem with printing the log. I tried sleep 0.5s in the perform function and the log was printed out normally try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 500_000_000) // 0.5 seconds I have consulted some topics and they said that when using Siri, Intent is running completely separately and only returns the result to Siri, never entering the Main App. But when set openAppWhenRun to true, it must enter the main app, right? Is there any way to find the cause and completely fix this problem?

hello, i'm having a strange problem with applescript+keynote. when i try to use system events to invoke menu commands via a script like click menu item "Copy Animation" of menu bar item "Format" of menu bar 1 (inside of enough tell...-brackets). the problem seems to boil down to the fact that (at least on my computer) the following script returns {} tell application "System Events" tell process "Keynote" return entire contents of menu bar 1 click menu item "Copy Animation" of menu bar item "Format" of menu bar 1 end tell end tell this script works for every app i've tried it for, but not keynote, where it always returns {} i see two possibilities: keynote is fundamentally broken in a way that its menu bar circumvents the canonical process to make a menu bar, or keynote is broken on my machine, in which case (i already reinstalled) i'm wondering what i can do to restore a good version. thanks for any help in advance peter purgathofer
