Hi, I want to open an email message with AppleScript. Everything is working correctly, but in the Mail app, instead of focusing on targetMessage, it highlights the email after the target message. When I use: tell targetMessage to open the correct email opens in new window but the wrong email is highlighted in the Mail app list. tell application "Mail" activate set targetAccount to missing value repeat with anAccount in every account if name of anAccount is "AccountName" then set targetAccount to anAccount exit repeat end if end repeat if targetAccount is not missing value then set targetBox to missing value repeat with aBox in mailboxes of targetAccount if name of aBox is "MailboxName" then set targetBox to aBox exit repeat end if end repeat if targetBox is not missing value then set targetMessage to missing value set oneWeekAgo to (current date) - (7 * days) set filteredMessages to (every message of targetBox whose date received ≥ oneWeekAgo) repeat with aMessage in filteredMessages try if message id of aMessage is "MessageID" then set targetMessage to aMessage exit repeat end if end try end repeat if targetMessage is not missing value then if (count of message viewers) > 0 then set mailViewer to message viewer 1 else set mailViewer to make new message viewer end if tell mailViewer set selected mailboxes to {targetBox} delay 0.2 set selected messages to {targetMessage} end tell return "Found" else return "Message Not found" end if else return "Folder Not found" end if else return "Account Not found" end if end tell Why is this behavior happening?

I have an AppIntent in one of my applications, which shows up in Shortcuts. I would like to run this intent/shortcut from my other application without jumping to Shortcuts with a deeplink. Is this possible?

I have a custom intent. When my app is unable to complete the resolution of a parameter within the app extension, I need to be able to continue within the app. I am unable to figure out what the correct objective C syntax is to enable the execution to continue with the app. Here is what I have tried: completion([[PickWoodIntentResponse init] initWithCode:PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:nil]); This results in the following error: Implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum PickWoodIntentResponseCode' to different enumeration type 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' (aka 'enum INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode') I have no idea why it is referring to the enum type of 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' which is unrelated to my app. I have also tried: PickWoodIntentResponse *response = [[PickWoodIntentResponse init] initWithCode:PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:nil]; completion(response); but that results in 2 errors: Implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum PickWoodIntentResponseCode' to different enumeration type 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' (aka 'enum INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode') and Incompatible pointer types passing 'PickWoodIntentResponse *' to parameter of type 'INStringResolutionResult *' The relevant autogenerated code provided to me with the creation of my intent is as follows: @class PickWoodIntentResponse; @protocol PickWoodIntentHandling <NSObject> - (void)resolveVarietyForPickWood:(PickWoodIntent *)intent withCompletion:(void (^)(INStringResolutionResult *resolutionResult))completion NS_SWIFT_NAME(resolveVariety(for:with:)) API_AVAILABLE(ios(13.0), macos(11.0), watchos(6.0)); @end typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, PickWoodIntentResponseCode) { PickWoodIntentResponseCodeUnspecified = 0, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeReady, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeInProgress, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeSuccess, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeFailure, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeFailureRequiringAppLaunch } @interface PickWoodIntentResponse : INIntentResponse - (instancetype)init NS_UNAVAILABLE; - (instancetype)initWithCode:(PickWoodIntentResponseCode)code userActivity:(nullable NSUserActivity *)userActivity NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER; @property (readonly, NS_NONATOMIC_IOSONLY) PickWoodIntentResponseCode code; @end Am I overlooking something? What would be the proper syntax to have within the completion block to satisfy the compiler?

I am trying to write a unit test for an AppIntent and override the AppDependencyManager so I can inject dependencies for the purposes of testing. When I run a test, the app crashes with: AppIntents/AppDependencyManager.swift:120: Fatal error: AppDependency of type Int.Type was not initialized prior to access. Dependency values can only be accessed inside of the intent perform flow and within types conforming to _SupportsAppDependencies unless the value of the dependency is manually set prior to access. App Intent: import AppIntents struct TestAppIntent: AppIntent { @AppDependency var count: Int static var title: LocalizedStringResource { "Test App Intent "} func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { print("\(count)") return .result() } } extension TestAppIntent { init(dependencyManager: AppDependencyManager) { _count = AppDependency(manager: dependencyManager) } } Unit Test import Testing import AppIntents @testable import AppIntentTesting struct TestAppIntentTests { @Test("test") func test() async throws { let dependencyManager = AppDependencyManager() dependencyManager.add(dependency: 5) let appIntent = TestAppIntent(dependencyManager: dependencyManager) _ = try await appIntent.perform() } }

I am trying to add certain shortcuts based on user eligibility for a feature, however I get an error if i try to use conditions in appShortcuts of AppShortcutsProvider. if I use static list to update the shortcuts and use static shortcut list in appShortcuts of AppShortcutsProvider - shortcuts are not displayed. Can anyone help with an example to update appShortcuts of AppShortcutsProvider dynamically. Is that supported at all?

I've created an app that grabs the current URL and Title/name from the frontmost window/tab of Safari or any of a number of Chromium browsers, using NSAppleScript. The app sits in the menu bar and can be summoned by shortcut key combo. let script = """ tell application \"Safari\" if not (exists front window) then return {\"\", \"\"} set theTab to current tab of front window set theURL to URL of theTab set theTitle to name of theTab return {theURL, theTitle} end tell """ if let appleScript = NSAppleScript(source: script) { let output = appleScript.executeAndReturnError(&error) if output.numberOfItems == 2 { let url = output.atIndex(1)?.stringValue let title = output.atIndex(2)?.stringValue if let url = url, !url.isEmpty { return (url, title) } } } If I sign an archived build and run it locally it works beautifully, no matter which browser I am using. But the URL/title grabbing breaks in sandbox due to permissions. I read and have been informed that I need to use com.apple.security.scripting-targets entitlement. The example for this is in WWDC 2012 and talks about accessing Mail compose window. <key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.mail</key> <array> <string>com.apple.mail.compose</string> </array> </dict> However, I don't want to control the app or use any access groups, as I've looked through the sdef and Safari/Chrome do not provide any access groups whose contents I'm interested in. I just want to get the property/values of a window/tab. So I think I could be quite restrictive about the read-only access to two properties or objects that I need. That said, I'm going back and forth with TestFlight review kind of shooting in the dark. I need help! So I figure it's time to ask: what content should my entitlement have? Or am I on the wrong path entirely? I know it's possible because an app called Neptunes does it to get properties from Music.app Many thanks in advance, matt

When we use the "Find All Reminders" shortcut, there's these two filters "Is Completed and "Is Not Completed". When I implement this in my app, the best I could get is just "Completed" and "Not Completed", I can't figure out how to add the "Is" in front. In my entity: @Property(title: "Completed") var completed : Bool In the EntityPropertyQuery: static var properties = QueryProperties { Property(\GTDItemAppEntity.$list) { EqualToComparator { NSPredicate(format: "list.uuid = %@", $0.id as NSUUID) } } Property(\GTDItemAppEntity.$text) { ContainsComparator { NSPredicate(format: "text CONTAINS[cd] %@", $0) } EqualToComparator { NSPredicate(format: "text = %@", $0) } } Property(\GTDItemAppEntity.$completed) { EqualToComparator { NSPredicate(format: $0 ? "completed = YES" : "completed = NO") } } } If I change the property to @Property(title: "Is Completed") var completed : Bool Then it will show as "Is Completed" and "Not Is Completed" in the filter! Reminder: My App:

This implementation works very well for spotlight and App Shortcuts, but for voice commands by Siri, they don't work. AppShortcutsProvider import AppIntents struct CustomerAppIntentProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { @AppShortcutsBuilder static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: StoresAppIntent(), phrases: ["Mostre as lojas do (.applicationName)"], shortTitle: LocalizedStringResource("Lojas"), systemImageName: "storefront" ) } } Ex. do AppIntent import AppIntents import Foundation import Loyalty import ResourceKit struct StoresAppIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Mostrar as lojas" static var description: IntentDescription? = "Este atalho mostra as lojas disponiveis no app" static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true static var isDiscoverable: Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -&gt; some IntentResult { if let url = URL(string: “app://path") { UIApplication.shared.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: { (success) in if success { print("Opened \(url)") } else { print("Failed to open \(url)") } }) } return .result() } } Basically that's what I did Our apps are with a minimum target of iOS 17 and I tested it on an iPhone 11 with Portuguese language and Siri in Portuguese

Hi, I’m developing an app, which just like Clock App, uses multiple counters. I want to speak Siri commands, such as “Siri, count for one hour”. ‘count’ is the alternative app name. My AppIntent has a parameter, and Siri understands if I say “Siri, count” and asks for duration in a separate step. It runs fine, but I can’t figure out how to run the command with the duration specified upfront, without any subsequent questions from Siri. Clock App has this functionality, so it can be done. //title //perform() @Parameter(title: "Duration") var minutes: Measurement<UnitDuration> } I have a struct ShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider, phrases accept only parameters of type AppEnum or AppEntity.

Hello, I’m working on integrating SiriKit with my music app using INPlayMediaIntent. My app is live on TestFlight, and the Siri command is being recognized, but mediaItems is always empty in my Intent Demo Project

I'm trying to set a boolean value to myVariable using the "Folder" property, but the Applescript editor keeps interpreting it as a class. Here is a shorted code. this is part of a bigger code to identify files dropped into a folder and create a new folder which it renames based on the date of the file that is dropped into the folder. Unfortunately, it keeps making folders every time it makes a new folder. Resalting in continuous loop of folders being created and renamed to "2025". The plan is to us an IF condition to prevent the creation of folders when a folder/s are dropped into my folder with my Folder Action. property directory : "Catalina:Users:Username:Desktop:Folder:File.pdf tell application "Finder" set pathname to POSIX path of directory set item_info to the info for directory set myVariable to Folder of item_info return myVariable end tell I noticed the following when I compile the script The color of the "Folder" is blue. I believe this means it's a class. Normally when I call a property, the color turns pink. it does it correctly when I use "set the file_name to the "name" of this_file". I also tried declaring the "Folder" property in brackets "Folder". did not help I noticed the following when I run the script: It returns ---error number -10004 "A privilege violation occurred. When it runs the "info for" command. I gave the Script Editor Full File access, Full Accessibility access and the FolderActionsDispatcher has full Finder access. Can anyone point me in the right direction! What is the cause of the privilege violation or how would I find what the cause is? How do I force the Script Editor to get the "Folder" property of a folder?

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 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?

I'm trying to run sample Trails app from the documentation, unaltered. When I do the build, I get a Command ValidateAppShortcutStringsMetadata failed with a nonzero exit code error. How do I debug this? I'm trying this on Xcode 16.4.

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.

I have a food logging app. I want my users to be able to say something like: "Hey siri, log chicken and rice for lunch" But appshortcuts provider is forcing me to add the name of the app to the phrase so it becomes: "Hey siri, log chicken and rice for lunch in FoodLogApp". After running a quick survey, I've found that many users dislike having to say the name of the app, it makes it too cumbersome. My question is: Is there a plan from apple 2026 so the users can converse with Siri and apps more naturally without having to say the name of the app? If so, is it already in Beta and can you point me towards it? @available(iOS 17.0, *) struct LogMealIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Log Meal" static var description: LocalizedStringResource = "Log a meal" func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { return .result() } } @available(iOS 17.0, *) struct LogMealShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: LogMealIntent(), phrases: [ "Log chicken and rice for lunch in \(.applicationName)", ], shortTitle: "Log meal", systemImageName: "mic.fill" ) } }

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?

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 developed a XCode project using Flutter (v. 3.35.6). The application basically has a IntentExtension to handle intents donation and the related business logic. We decided to go with ShortcutExtension in place of AppIntents because it fits with our app's use case (where basically we need to dynamically donate/remove intents). We have an issue building the project, and it is due to the presence of the IntentExtension .appex file in the Build Phases --> Embed Foundation Extensions. If we remove it , the project builds however the IntentHandling is not invoked in the Shortcuts app. Build issue: Generated error in the console: Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results.

We implemented AppIntents using EnumerableEntityQuery and @Dependency and we are receiving these crash reports: AppIntents/AppDependencyManager.swift:120: Fatal error: AppDependency of type MyDependency.Type was not initialized prior to access. Dependency values can only be accessed inside of the intent perform flow and within types conforming to _SupportsAppDependencies unless the value of the dependency is manually set prior to access. I can't post the stack because of the Developer Forums sensitive language filter :( but basically it's just a call to suggestedEntities of MyEntityQuery that calls the dependency getter and then it crashes. My understanding was that when using @Dependency, the execution of the intent, or query of suggestedEntities in this case, would be delayed by the AppIntents framework until the dependency was added to the AppDependencyManager by me. At least that's what's happening in my tests. But in prod I'm having these crashes which I haven't been able to reproduce in dev yet. Does anyone know if this is a bug or how can this be fixed? As a workaround, I can avoid using @Dependency and AppDependencyManager completely and make sure that all operations are async and delay the execution myself until the dependency is set. But I'd like to know if there's a better solution. Thanks!
