Post not yet marked as solved
It worked fine yesterday, now after upgrade of Xcode, app won't run. It doesn't matter if I try to run the app in a simulator or on a real iOS device, it does the same thing.
A window pops up with a title of "App installation failed: Unable to Install "app name"
Then down below there is a huge paragraph that starts with this:
Please try again later. Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path /Users....
I have rebooted as well and also waited to make sure everything had time to load from the upgrade. I really have no clue how to resolve this issue.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.
Thank you.

I have scaled down one of the Apps I am working on to use to learn how to program App Intents and utilize Siri in my apps. I will post the scaled down version of my code below to its simplest form. This is a simple App that merely keeps a total in an @State var named counter. The App shows the current total along with 2 buttons, one button being labeled "minus" the other labeled "add".
When someone taps the minus button, 1 is subtracted from the counter if the counter is greater than 0. When someone taps the plus button, 1 is added to the counter as long as it is not greater than 10,000.
The buttons actually call functions called decrementCounter and incrementCounter which does the math and updates the value of the state variable counter.
The App works just fine as is. Minus and plus buttons work and the view is updated to reflect the current value of counter as buttons are pushed.
The problem is when I try to use an App Intent to add or subtract from the counter. In this example, I only put in two App Intents, one to add to the counter and the other to have siri tell you what the current value of the counter is.
The app intent called SiriAddOne calls the same function as is used when a button is pressed, however, the counter does not get incremented.
Also the app intent SiriHowMany will always tell you the counter is zero.
It's like the App Intents are not able to access the counter variable used in the view.
I do know that the functions are being called because in my main program where I extracted this from, the incrementCounter and decrementCounter functions do others things as well. Those other things all work when I use the App Intent to call the function, but the counter variable remains unchanged.
Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong here or how I need to go about doing this correctly.
Thank you..
Here is the code:
import SwiftUI
import AppIntents
struct ContentView: View {
// This variable counter is the only thing that changes
// and should be what forces the view to update
@State var counter = 0
var body: some View {
VStack {
Spacer()
Text("Total")
// Displays the current value of the counter
Text(String(counter))
Spacer()
// When button is pressed call decrementCounter function
Button(action: {
decrementCounter()
}, label: {
Text("Minus")
})
Spacer()
// When button is pressed call incrementCounter function
Button(action: {
incrementCounter()
}, label: {
Text("Add")
})
Spacer()
}
.padding()
}
// subtract 1 from the counter
// when this happens the view should update to
// to reflect the new value.
func decrementCounter() {
if counter > 0 {
counter -= 1
}
return
}
// Add 1 to the counter
// when this happens the view should update to
// to reflect the new value.
func incrementCounter() {
if counter <= 9999 {
counter += 1
}
return
}
// Set up App Intent, perform action when matched
// and have siri state it has been done.
@available(iOS 16, *)
struct SiriAddOne: AppIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Add 1"
static var description = IntentDescription("Adds 1 to the counter")
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
ContentView().incrementCounter()
return .result(dialog: "Okay, added 1 to counter.")
}
}
// Set up App Intent, perform action when matched
// and have siri state the current value of the counter.
@available(iOS 16, *)
struct SiriHowMany: AppIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "How Many"
static var description = IntentDescription("How Many?")
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
return .result(dialog: "You have \(ContentView().counter).")
}
}
// Defines the two shortcut phrases to be used to call the two AppIntents
@available(iOS 16, *)
struct SiriAppShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider {
static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] {
AppShortcut(
intent: SiriAddOne(),
phrases: ["Add one to \(.applicationName)"]
)
AppShortcut(
intent: SiriHowMany(),
phrases: ["How many \(.applicationName)"]
)
}
}
}
struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContentView()
}
