I was bored so played with this a bit - I couldn't make it work with a custom type. Works fine if you use the built-in 'todoItem' type. Seems like a bug, yeah.

Related follow-up question for this integration with Spotlight: Do I need to implement both CSSearchableItem's new associateAppEntity AND also a custom implementation of attributeSet in my IndexedEntity conformance? It seems duplicative but I can't tell from the video if you're supposed to do both or just one or the other.

I don't think this is live in Siri yet... at least they haven't announced it and none of the other features in the 'personal context' category have shipped. Apple hasn't said when - rumors say 18.3 or 18.4 (i.e. 2025).

Yeah, it's talked about here - all of the testing is meant to be done in the Shortcuts app for now. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10133/?time=104

Are these features even enabled in any version of iOS 18, shipped or seeded? I thought that the @AssistantIntent and related stuff was included in the SDK for us to get ready but that these weren't active yet in Siri - I can't remember where I got that, the WWDC video I think? No, I have not been able to get any prompt to appear.

The first seed has only been out for a week so it's not possible that you've been waiting that long. Check the Feedback app - it has a note posted about testing those features stating that users will be added over the coming weeks (i.e. multiple).

Thanks. This has been filed as FB15340069.

Interesting... I thought that was just supposed to do an UPSERT (which it seems to do), though I thought that was by design and not something that should justify a warning. Agree that it seems to work fine despite the scary error message.

Same. It seems broken, I've been seeing a lot of comments from others so it appears widespread.

As the other comment says, you can't... you can also try Xcode Cloud. Your developer subscription includes some hours. That's what I've been doing, working great.

There's a note on my FB that a fix has been identified for a future release - hopefully!

Same with seed 3.

Still seeing this with seed 2. Anyone got this to work?

No, you're not missing anything. This came up several times in the Slack-based Tech Talk chats too... Your choices are push notifications or background tasks. If you use background tasks you have very very little control over when they run. I eventually gave up and setup a very basic push system to do what I wanted and that works great. Basic push is pretty simple to do - I'd strongly recommend going down that road even if it's something where you really shouldn't need it.
