In our onboarding sequence we inform the user that Siri is required and to set it up if they have it off. We have a link that takes us to the root of the Systems tree, but have been unable to get it to launch into the Siri prefs itself, using a scheme that's widely available on StackOverflow, GitHub and so on. ChatGPT says it can't be done as of 2022. I see a list on GitHub of the domains that was last updated just a year ago, suggesting that at least as of 17 it "should" work. Another place said Apple would bounce apps which attempt to do that (we have the recommended URL string already in there which should have been detectable by their scans, and have not been bounced due to that so far).

I'm working with appIntents and custom responses with Siri. Sometimes I get the "Something went wrong..." message seemingly at random. There is a way to suppress it in a shortcut using its scripting language, but is there anything in Sirikit that could in effect, tell it to knock it off!, and suppress that message. Or, is there a way, when generating a Shortcut in appIntents that allows for generating a small script as well?

I've thought I've seen all, now the Debug View Hierarchy button has decided to take a hike. One of XCode's coolest features just upped and vanished on the latest project. Shows fine in the previous two. Can't find anything that looks like an on/off switch for the thing and have capabilities and debug settings matched to the ones that work. (and yes, I am in debug mode)

Wasted about 3 hours on this yesterday. I add a Text item in a field of a Form. Well and good. It wraps if needed, alights to the left a fixed amount no matter how much or how little text there is. All expected. I added an image. It alll went to hell after that as the text just sort of drew where it wanted to. It looked like the parent tile was now wider then the display area. No amount of playing with Spacer(), padding, Frames. HStack alignments, Position fields, and so on did any good. as all I am trying to do a simple tile with a text block and image. And SwiftUI fights me every step of the way. It's for a simple restaurant menu item tile. Name of item, price and image. If I drop the image, then it formats in a predictable fashion. HStack{ VStack{ if let maindish = item["name"]{ Text("\(maindish)").foregroundColor(.primary).modifier(favoriteStyle()).fontWeight(.regular).font(.custom("Avenir",size:fontSize)) } if let formattedPrice = item["formatted_price"]{ Text("\(formattedPrice)").foregroundColor(.secondary).modifier(favoriteStyle()).fontWeight(.bold).font(.custom("Avenir",size:fontSize)) } } Spacer() if let imageURL = item["thumbnail_image"]{ if let url = URL(string:imageURL) { drawImage(url:url, size:85.0).padding(0.0).padding(.trailing,75.00) } } }

I am working with the location manager for heading info but keep on getting the compass heading calibration screen which I don't want. According to CLLocationManagerDelegate, that should be able to be disabled by returning NO from the delegate method: locationManagerShouldDisplayHeadingCalibration. However, that is never called. (I don't need to know true headings, just that the user is turning around)

I just posted an update to my app last weekend, and it shows in the store just fine, but I am not seeing a single download recorded for the update process. I would expect to see 20k. ideas?
