Unexpected URLRepresentableIntent behaviour
After watching the What's new in App Intents session I'm attempting to create an intent conforming to URLRepresentableIntent. The video states that so long as my AppEntity conforms to URLRepresentableEntity I should not have to provide a perform method . My application will be launched automatically and passed the appropriate URL. This seems to work in that my application is launched and is passed a URL, but the URL is in the form: FeatureEntity/{id}. Am I missing something, or is there a trick that enables it to pass along the URL specified in the AppEntity itself? struct MyExampleIntent: OpenIntent, URLRepresentableIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Open Feature" static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Open \(\.$target)") } @Parameter(title: "My feature", description: "The feature to open.") var target: FeatureEntity } struct FeatureEntity: AppEntity { // ... } extension FeatureEntity: URLRepresentableEntity { static var urlRepresentation: URLRepresentation { "https://myurl.com/\(.id)" } }

Image Playground API
Does the new Image Playground API allow programmatically generating images? Can the app generate and use them without the API's UI or would that require using another generative image model?

Random crash from AVFAudio library
Hi everyone ! I'm getting random crashes when I'm using the Speech Recognizer functionality in my app. This is an old bug (for 8 years on Apple Forums) and I will really appreciate if anyone from Apple will be able to find a fix for this crashes. Can anyone also help me please to understand what could I do to keep the Speech Recognizer functionality still available in my app, but to avoid this crashes (if there is any other native library available or a CocoaPod library). Here is my code and also the crash log for it. Code: func startRecording() { startStopRecordBtn.setImage(UIImage(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "microphone_off")), for: .normal) if UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: Constants.darkTheme) { commentTextView.textColor = .white } else { commentTextView.textColor = .black } commentTextView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false recordingLabel.text = Constants.recording if recognitionTask != nil { recognitionTask?.cancel() recognitionTask = nil } let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() do { try audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.record) try audioSession.setMode(AVAudioSession.Mode.measurement) try audioSession.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) } catch { showAlertWithTitle(message: Constants.error) } recognitionRequest = SFSpeechAudioBufferRecognitionRequest() let inputNode = audioEngine.inputNode guard let recognitionRequest = recognitionRequest else { fatalError(Constants.error) } recognitionRequest.shouldReportPartialResults = true recognitionTask = speechRecognizer?.recognitionTask(with: recognitionRequest, resultHandler: { (result, error) in var isFinal = false if result != nil { self.commentTextView.text = result?.bestTranscription.formattedString isFinal = (result?.isFinal)! } if error != nil || isFinal { self.audioEngine.stop() inputNode.removeTap(onBus: 0) self.recognitionRequest = nil self.recognitionTask = nil self.startStopRecordBtn.isEnabled = true } }) let recordingFormat = inputNode.outputFormat(forBus: 0) inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: recordingFormat) {[weak self] (buffer: AVAudioPCMBuffer, when: AVAudioTime) in // CRASH HERE self?.recognitionRequest?.append(buffer) } audioEngine.prepare() do { try audioEngine.start() } catch { showAlertWithTitle(message: Constants.error) } } Here is the crash log: Thanks for very much for reading this !

NLModel won't initialize in MessageFilterExtension
i'm trying to create an NLModel within a MessageFilterExtension handler. The code works fine in the main app, but when I try to use it in the extension it fails to initialize. Just this doesn't even work and gets the error below. Single line that fails. SMS_Classifier is the class xcode generated for my model. This line works fine in the main app. let mlModel = try SMS_Classifier(configuration: MLModelConfiguration()).model Error Unable to locate Asset for contextual word embedding model for local en. MLModelAsset: load failed with error Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=0 "initialization of text classifier model with model data failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=initialization of text classifier model with model data failed} Any ideas?

Error generating files in compilation cause AppEntity and Widget Extension on iOS17
When I add AppEnity to my model, I receive this error that is still repeated for each attribute in the model. The models are already marked for Widget Extension in Target Membership.

Core ML Model performance far lower on iOS 17 vs iOS 16 (iOS 17 not using Neural Engine)
Hello, I posted an issue on the coremltools GitHub about my Core ML models not performing as well on iOS 17 vs iOS 16 but I'm posting it here just in case. TL;DR The same model on the same device/chip performs far slower (doesn't use the Neural Engine) on iOS 17 compared to iOS 16. Longer description The following screenshots show the performance of the same model (a PyTorch computer vision model) on an iPhone SE 3rd gen and iPhone 13 Pro (both use the A15 Bionic). iOS 16 - iPhone SE 3rd Gen (A15 Bioinc) iOS 16 uses the ANE and results in fast prediction, load and compilation times. iOS 17 - iPhone 13 Pro (A15 Bionic) iOS 17 doesn't seem to use the ANE, thus the prediction, load and compilation times are all slower. Code To Reproduce The following is my code I'm using to export my PyTorch vision model (using coremltools). I've used the same code for the past few months with sensational results on iOS 16. # Convert to Core ML using the Unified Conversion API coreml_model = ct.convert( model=traced_model, inputs=[image_input], outputs=[ct.TensorType(name="output")], classifier_config=ct.ClassifierConfig(class_names), convert_to="neuralnetwork", # compute_precision=ct.precision.FLOAT16, compute_units=ct.ComputeUnit.ALL ) System environment: Xcode version: 15.0 coremltools version: 7.0.0 OS (e.g. MacOS version or Linux type): Linux Ubuntu 20.04 (for exporting), macOS 13.6 (for testing on Xcode) Any other relevant version information (e.g. PyTorch or TensorFlow version): PyTorch 2.0 Additional context This happens across "neuralnetwork" and "mlprogram" type models, neither use the ANE on iOS 17 but both use the ANE on iOS 16 If anyone has a similar experience, I'd love to hear more. Otherwise, if I'm doing something wrong for the exporting of models for iOS 17+, please let me know. Thank you!

SFSpeechRecognitionResult discards previous transcripts with on-device option set to true
Hi everyone, I might need some help with on-device recognition. It seems that the speech recognition task will discard whatever it has transcribed after a new sentence starts (or it believes it becomes a new sentence) during a single audio session, with requiresOnDeviceRecognition is set to true. This doesn't happen with requiresOnDeviceRecognition set to false. System environment: macOS 14 with Xcode 15, deploying to iOS 17 Thank you all!

Getting ValueError: Categorical Cross Entropy loss layer input (Identity) must be a softmax layer output.
I am working on the neural network classifier provided on the coremltools.readme.io in the updatable->neural network section(https://coremltools.readme.io/docs/updatable-neural-network-classifier-on-mnist-dataset). I am using the same code but I get an error saying that the coremltools.converters.keras.convert does not exist. But this I know can be coreml version issue. Right know I am using coremltools version 6.2. I converted this model to mlmodel with .convert only. It got converted successfully. But I face an error in the make_updatable function saying the loss layer must be softmax output. Even the coremlt package API reference there I found its because the layer name is softmaxND but it should be softmax. Now the problem is when I convert the model from Keras sequential model to coreml model. the layer name and type change. And the softmax changes to softmaxND. Does anyone faced this issue? if I execute this builder.inspect_layers(last=4) I get this output [Id: 32], Name: sequential/dense_1/Softmax (Type: softmaxND) Updatable: False Input blobs: ['sequential/dense_1/MatMul'] Output blobs: ['Identity'] [Id: 31], Name: sequential/dense_1/MatMul (Type: batchedMatmul) Updatable: False Input blobs: ['sequential/dense/Relu'] Output blobs: ['sequential/dense_1/MatMul'] [Id: 30], Name: sequential/dense/Relu (Type: activation) Updatable: False Input blobs: ['sequential/dense/MatMul'] Output blobs: ['sequential/dense/Relu'] In the make_updatable function when I execute builder.set_categorical_cross_entropy_loss(name='lossLayer', input='Identity') I get this error ValueError: Categorical Cross Entropy loss layer input (Identity) must be a softmax layer output.

Access to sound classification for app running in background
Can access to SoundAnalysis (sound classifier built into next version of MacOS, iOS, WatchOS) be provided to my app running in the background on iPhone or Apple Watch? I want to monitor local sounds from Apple Watch and iPhones and take remote action for out of band data (ie. send alert to caregiver if coughing rate is too high, or if someone is knocking on the door for more than a minute, etc.)
