Hello, I have to create an app in Swift that it scan NFC Identity card. It extract data and convert it to human readable data. I do it with below code import CoreNFC class NFCIdentityCardReader: NSObject , NFCTagReaderSessionDelegate { func tagReaderSessionDidBecomeActive(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession) { print("\(session.description)") } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didInvalidateWithError error: any Error) { print("NFC Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } var session: NFCTagReaderSession? func beginScanning() { guard NFCTagReaderSession.readingAvailable else { print("NFC is not supported on this device") return } session = NFCTagReaderSession(pollingOption: .iso14443, delegate: self, queue: nil) session?.alertMessage = "Hold your NFC identity card near the device." session?.begin() } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCTag]) { guard let tag = tags.first else { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No tag detected") return } session.connect(to: tag) { (error) in if let error = error { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Connection error: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } switch tag { case .miFare(let miFareTag): self.readMiFareTag(miFareTag, session: session) case .iso7816(let iso7816Tag): self.readISO7816Tag(iso7816Tag, session: session) case .iso15693, .feliCa: session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Unsupported tag type") @unknown default: session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Unknown tag type") } } } private func readMiFareTag(_ tag: NFCMiFareTag, session: NFCTagReaderSession) { // Read from MiFare card, assuming it's formatted as an identity card let command: [UInt8] = [0x30, 0x04] // Example: Read command for block 4 let requestData = Data(command) tag.sendMiFareCommand(commandPacket: requestData) { (response, error) in if let error = error { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Error reading MiFare: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } let readableData = String(data: response, encoding: .utf8) ?? response.map { String(format: "%02X", $0) }.joined() session.alertMessage = "ID Card Data: \(readableData)" session.invalidate() } } private func readISO7816Tag(_ tag: NFCISO7816Tag, session: NFCTagReaderSession) { let selectAppCommand = NFCISO7816APDU(instructionClass: 0x00, instructionCode: 0xA4, p1Parameter: 0x04, p2Parameter: 0x00, data: Data([0xA0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x02, 0x47, 0x10, 0x01]), expectedResponseLength: -1) tag.sendCommand(apdu: selectAppCommand) { (response, sw1, sw2, error) in if let error = error { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Error reading ISO7816: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } let readableData = response.map { String(format: "%02X", $0) }.joined() session.alertMessage = "ID Card Data: \(readableData)" session.invalidate() } } } But I got null. I think that these data are encrypted. How can I convert them to readable data without MRZ, is it possible ? I need to get personal informations from Identity card via Core NFC. Thanks in advance. Best regards

Hi team, We have implemented a writing tool inside a WebView that allows users to type content in a textarea. When the "Show Writing Tools" button is clicked, an AI-powered editor opens. After clicking the "Rewrite" button, the AI modifies the text. However, when clicking the "Replace" button, the rewritten text does not update the original textarea. Kindly check and help me showButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(showWritingTools(_:)), for: .touchUpInside) @available(iOS 18.2, *) optional func showWritingTools(_ sender: Any) Note: same cases working in TextView pfa

Hi, I am modifying the sample camera app that is here: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/sample-apps/capturingphotos-camerapreview ... In the processPreviewImages, I am using the Vision APIs to generate a segmentation mask for a person/object, then compositing that person onto a different background (with some other filtering). The filtering and compositing is done via CoreImage. At the end, I convert the CIImage to a CGImage then to a SwiftUI Image. When I run it on my iPhone, it works fine, and has not crashed. When I run it on the iPhone with the debugger, it crashes within a few seconds with: EXC_BAD_ACCESS in libRPAC.dylib`std::__1::__hash_table<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::__unordered_map_hasher<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::hash, std::__1::equal_to, true>, std::__1::__unordered_map_equal<long, std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>, std::__1::equal_to, std::__1::hash, true>, std::__1::allocator<std::__1::__hash_value_type<long, qos_info_t>>>::__emplace_unique_key_args<long, std::__1::piecewise_construct_t const&, std::__1::tuple<long const&>, std::__1::tuple<>>: It had previously been working fine with the debugger, so I'm not sure what has changed. Is there a difference in how the Vision APIs are executed if the debugger is attached vs. not?

the specific context is that i would like to build an agent that monitors my phone call (with a customer support for example), and simiply identify whether or not im still put on hold, and notify me when im not. currently after reading the doc, i dont think its possible yet, but im so annoyed by the customer support calls that im willing to go the distance and see if theres any way.

Posting a follow up question after the WWDC 2025 Machine Learning AI & Frameworks Group Lab on June 12. In regards to the on-device API of any of the AI frameworks (foundation model, vision framework, ect.), is there a response condition or path where the API outsources it's input to ChatGPT if the user has allowed this like Siri does? Ignore this if it's a no: is this handled behind the scenes or by the developer?

I'm implementing an App Intent for my iOS app that helps users plan trip activities. It only works when run as a shortcut but not using voice through Siri. There are 2 issues: The ShortcutsTripEntity will only accept a voice input for a specific trip but not others. I'm stuck with a throwing error when trying to use requestDisambiguation() on the activity day @Parameter property. How do I rectify these issues. This is blocking me from completing a critical feature that lets users quickly plan activities through Siri and Shortcuts. Expected behavior for trip input: The intent should make Siri accept the spoken trip input from any of the options. Actual behavior for trip input: Siri only accepts the same trip when spoken but accepts any when selected by click/touch. Expected behavior for day input: Siri should accept the spoken selected option. Actual behavior for day input: Siri only accepts an input by click/touch but yet throws an error at runtime I'm happy to provide more code. But here's the relevant code: struct PlanActivityTestIntent: AppIntent { @Parameter(title: "Activity Day") var activityDay: ShortcutsItineraryDayEntity @Parameter( title: "Trip", description: "The trip to plan an activity for", default: ShortcutsTripEntity(id: UUID().uuidString, title: "Untitled trip"), requestValueDialog: "Which trip would you like to add an activity to?" ) 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", default: ShortcutsItineraryDayEntity(itineraryDay: .init(itineraryId: UUID(), date: .now), timeZoneIdentifier: "UTC")) var activityDay: ShortcutsItineraryDayEntity func perform() async throws -> some ProvidesDialog { // ...other code... let tripsStore = TripsStore() // load trips and map them to entities try? await tripsStore.getTrips() let tripsAsEntities = tripsStore.trips.map { trip in let id = trip.id ?? UUID() let title = trip.title return ShortcutsTripEntity(id: id.uuidString, title: title, trip: trip) } // Ask user to select a trip. This line would doesn't accept a voice // answer. Why? let selectedTrip = try await $tripEntity.requestDisambiguation( among: tripsAsEntities, dialog: .init( full: "Which of the \(tripsAsEntities.count) trip would you like to add an activity to?", supporting: "Select a trip", systemImageName: "safari.fill" ) ) // This line throws an error let selectedDay = try await $activityDay.requestDisambiguation( among: daysAsEntities, dialog:"Which day would you like to plan an activity for?" ) } } Here are some related images that might help:

When I ran the following code on a physical iPhone device that supports Apple Intelligence, I encountered the following error log. What does this internal error code mean? Image generation failed with NSError in a different domain: Error Domain=ImagePlaygroundInternal.ImageGeneration.GenerationError Code=11 “(null)”, returning a generic error instead let imageCreator = try await ImageCreator() let style = imageCreator.availableStyles.first ?? .animation let stream = imageCreator.images(for: [.text("cat")], style: style, limit: 1) for try await result in stream { // error: ImagePlayground.ImageCreator.Error.creationFailed _ = result.cgImage }

Due to our min iOS version, this is my first time using .xcstrings instead of .strings for AppShortcuts. When using the migrate .strings to .xcstrings Xcode context menu option, an .xcstrings catalog is produced that, as expected, has each invocation phrase as a separate string key. However, after compilation, the catalog changes to group all invocation phrases under the first phrase listed for each intent (see attached screenshot). It is possible to hover in blank space on the right and add more translations, but there is no 1:1 key matching requirement to the phrases on the left nor a requirement that there are the same number of keys in one language vs. another. (The lines just happen to align due to my window size.) What does that mean, practically? Do all sub-phrases in each language in AppShortcuts.xcstrings get processed during compilation, even if there isn't an equivalent phrase key declared in the AppShortcut (e.g., the ja translation has more phrases than the English)? (That makes some logical sense, as these phrases need not be 1:1 across languages.) In the AppShortcut declaration, if I delete all but the top invocation phrase, does nothing change with Siri? Is there something I'm doing incorrectly? struct WatchShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: QuickAddWaterIntent(), phrases: [ "\(.applicationName) log water", "\(.applicationName) log my water", "Log water in \(.applicationName)", "Log my water in \(.applicationName)", "Log a bottle of water in \(.applicationName)", ], shortTitle: "Log Water", systemImageName: "drop.fill" ) } }

I'm adding Visual Intelligence support to my app, and now want to add a Tip using TipKit to guide users to this feature from within my app. I want to add a Rule to my Tip which will only show this Tip on devices where Visual Intelligence is supported (ex. not iPhone 14 Pro Max). What is the best way for me to determine availability to set this TipKit rule? Here's the documentation I'm following for Visual Intelligence: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visualintelligence/integrating-your-app-with-visual-intelligence

Hardware: Macbook Pro M4 Nov 2024 Software: macOS Tahoe 26.0 & xcode 26.0 Apple Intelligence is activated and the Image playground macOS app works Running the following on xcode throws ImagePlayground.ImageCreator.Error.creationFailed Any suggestions on how to make this work? import Foundation import ImagePlayground Task { let creator = try await ImageCreator() guard let style = creator.availableStyles.first else { print("No styles available") exit(1) } let images = creator.images( for: [.text("A cat wearing mittens.")], style: style, limit: 1) for try await image in images { print("Generated image: \(image)") } exit(0) } RunLoop.main.run()

The developer tutorial for visual intelligence indicates that the method to detect and handle taps on a displayed entity from the Search section is via an "OpenIntent" associated with your entity. However, running this intent executes code from within my app. If I have the perform() method display UI, it always displays UI from within my app. I noticed that the Google app's integration to visual intelligence has a different behavior-- tapping on an entity does not take you to the Google app -- instead, a Webview is presented sheet-style WITHIN the Visual Intelligence environment (see below) How is that accomplished?

My app used app intents. And when user said "Prüfung der Bluetooth Funktion", screen can show the whole words. But in my app, it only can get "Bluetooth Funktion". This behaviour only happened in German version. In English version, everything worked well. Is anyone can support me? Why German version siri cut my words?

Hi, guys. I'm writing about Apple Intelligence and I reached the point I have to explain App Intent Domains https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppIntents/app-intent-domains but I noticed that there is a note explaining that these services are not available with Siri. I tried the example provided by Apple at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppIntents/making-your-app-s-functionality-available-to-siri and I can only make the intents work from the Shortcuts App, but not from Siri. Is this correct. App Intent Domains are still not available with Siri? Thanks

I want to get depth map that when camera zoom in or zoom out or switch to telephoto. I have got the depth map using ARkit that provide depth map that the colored RGB image from the wide-range camera and the depth ratings from the LiDAR scanner are fused together. Now I want to switch camera to telephoto and hope to get new depth map.

iOS 18.2 includes a new feature called Visual Intelligence. If I hold down the Camera Control on my iPhone, I can take a photo of an object and use Google to look up items similar to what I've photographed. Is there a way to programmatically open this interface within my app? If so, can I see which result the user selects?

I live in EU, Ireland, And I don’t have access to apple intelligence. I have ios18 running on iPhone XR, but please make apple intelligence available on EU

Hi, I want to develop an app which makes use of Image Playground. However, I am located in Europe which makes it impossible for me as Image Playground is not available for me. Even if I would like to distribute the app in the US. Nor the simulator, nor a physical device will always return that support for ImagePlayground is not supported (@Environment(.supportsImagePlayground) private var supportsImagePlayground) How to set my environment such that I can test the feature in my iOS application

I’m building an app that generates images based on text input from a specific text field. However, I’m encountering a problem: For short prompts like "a cat and a dog", the entire string is sent to the Image Playground, even when I use the extracted method. For longer inputs, the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes it extracts keywords correctly, but other times it doesn’t extract anything at all. Since my app relies on generating images based on the extracted keywords, this inconsistency negatively impacts the user experience in my app. How can I make sure that keywords are always extracted from the input string? Button("Generate", systemImage: "apple.intelligence") { isPresented = true } .imagePlaygroundSheet(isPresented: $isPresented, concepts: [ImagePlaygroundConcept.extracted(from: text, title: textTitle)]) { url in imageURL = url }

Hey dear developers! This post should be available for the future Siri updates and improvements but also for wishes in this forum so that everyone can share their opinion and idea please stay friendly. have fun! I had already thought about developing a demo app to demonstrate my idea for a better Siri. My change of many: Wish Update: Siri's language recognition capabilities have been significantly enhanced. Instead of manually setting the language, Siri can now automatically recognize the language you intend to use, making language switching much more efficient. Simply speak the language you want to communicate in, and Siri will automatically recognize it and respond accordingly. Whether you speak English, German, or Japanese, Siri will respond in the language you choose.

Hi Apple product owners. I am missing a unified concept which might be derived from the use cases for mail categories and mail spam for the app "Mail" on Mac. I need a recommendation on how to use categories in combination with the spam filter to get most out of it. So I was looking for the use cases for the 2 functionality areas in order to figure out how to organise my mails by using as much automation as possible before I start creating intelligent folders in addition. What can you recommend where I get this information from? I don't want to guess or read a lot of forum contributions which are based on guesses.
