I already have an iOS 17 App Intent that works with a URL: @available(iOS 16, *) struct MyAppIntent: AppIntent { static let title : LocalizedStringResource = "My App Inent" static let openAppWhenRun : Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult{ await UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "myapp://myappintent")!) return .result() } } Now, with iOS 18 and Control Widgets, I want to create a Control Widget button that smply opens the app with the same URL. However UIApplication code is not allowed within extensions. For this, Apple says to use OpenIntent which is shown here: Link Apple Sample Code from the link: import AppIntents struct LaunchAppIntent: OpenIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Launch App" @Parameter(title: "Target") var target: LaunchAppEnum } enum LaunchAppEnum: String, AppEnum { case timer case history static var typeDisplayRepresentation = TypeDisplayRepresentation("Productivity Timer's app screens") static var caseDisplayRepresentations = [ LaunchAppEnum.timer : DisplayRepresentation("Timer"), LaunchAppEnum.history : DisplayRepresentation("History") ] } WWDC session video about this does not cover this particular method in detail and also this sample code is a bit confusing. So how can I alter this code to just open the app with a URL?

here is my case: i add the AppIntent to both your app and widget extension targets. the intent will run my app process when app is running. it works perfectly on iOS 17. but iOS 18, my app process never called. i download app's demo, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/emoji-rangers-supporting-live-activities-interactivity-and-animations it looks like the same issue. it runs well because even it runs in the widget extension target, it still can present expected UI. but in real case, we need to run the app process to do some work. by debugging, i found the app process never called（set breakpoint）. i add openAppWhenRun, it works well on iOS 18. but it will open the app when the widget is running. it is not what i want.

With the new ControlWidget, is there any way to access the family from the environment? There is significantly more room on the 2x2 size versus the 2x1 size, and it would be nice to be able to customise labels based on the size currently being displayed.

The popup window triggered by IntentConfiguration is not functioning on the lock screen of iOS Beta 2. Widgets on the home screen work normally. Test Device iPad Simulator : 18.0 (22A5297f) iPhone Simulator : 18.0 (22A5297f) iPad Pro 2 : 18.0 (22A5297f)

Adding the openAppWhenRun property to an AppIntent for a ControlWidgetButton causes the following error when the control is tapped in Control Center: Unknown NSError The operation couldn’t be completed. (LNActionExecutorErrorDomain error 2018.) Here’s the full ControlWidget and AppIntent code that causes the errorerror: Should controls be able to open apps after the AppIntent runs, or is this a bug?

I can’t refresh dynamic Island frequently on ios 18, it's worked on ios 17

I'm developing a music app, and currently I have lyrics placed on the live activity and dynamic island. However, the lyrics aren't refreshing as frequently as they did on iOS17 with a refresh rate of 0.25 seconds. I need help resolving this.

i'm working on an app which shares a swiftdata database between the main app and its widgets. prior to the sequoia/xcode 16 betas this was working fine with setting the same app group for app & widget targets. however, now whenever i try to run my main app from Xcode i get a user permission requestor saying " would like to access data from other apps.". this happens every time i run it. whenever the widget is started (via trying to place it on the desktop, or the widgetkit simulator etc) it exits immediately (i assume because it can't show the permission requestor?) if i disable the app group for the widget, it runs.. however, of course, i can't access the main app's database. i'm on sequoia beta 2 (24A5279h) and Xcode 16 beta 2 (16A5171r) note: while the widgetkit simulator is now present in sequoia beta 2, i haven't actually been able to successfully use it

Can you change the size of a control Center Widget like for normal Widgets(.supportedFamilies([...]))? I would also like to add a slider like Apples brightness. Is that possible?

Hi, I am implementing a widget where I make some network calls. I have set the timelineprovider to update on end, and I have about an hour of widgetkit entries going for each timeline. I notice that the getTimeline function is called an arbitrary amount of times, usually between 2-5 when my widget fetches new entries for the widget. I was under the impression that it should only call the getTimeline function once, and use the entires for all of my widgets (I 3 widgets in total, two for the lock screen and one for home screen). Am I missing something when it comes to understanding the basic lifecycle? Anyone else having these issues? I am using XCode 15.3 and developing for iOS 17.

With iOS 18, when you tint Home Screen, the widgets also need to pick up the tint. How do you detect this within SwiftUI? I didn't see WWDC24 sessions addressing this.

Hi everyone! I'm seeking help to understand crashes that, as I can see, come from the widget extension. The brief stack trace that I can see under Xcode -> Window -> Organizer -> [My App] -> Crashes is pretty short (see attachment). My widgets do fetch request to Core Data, but the operation is performed on the background thread and data is lightweight. I have been debugging for days, but haven't found any weak code blocks that might take too much memory or crash due to simple language issues. Will appreciate any help! In the crash report file, I see the following logs (highlight a few of them due to lines limit): Incident Identifier: 62A28083-43EE-47F2-A2E0-89A1FA89744A Hardware Model: iPhone13,2 Process:

We added a button in the real-time activity that responds within the app upon clicking. Now we're encountering an issue where, if you immediately click this button after swiping down to enter the notification center, it only opens the app without any scheme response. You have to wait for about 1 second after swiping down before the button can respond normally. Could you please tell us why this is happening?

I want to display my own image in an inline widget. Using the SwiftUI Image syntax doesn't show the image, so following advice from online forums, I used the syntax Image(uiImage: UIImage(named: String)). This successfully displays the image, but if I change the image file name in the app, the image doesn't update properly. I tested displaying the image file name using Text in the inline widget, and it correctly shows the updated file name from my app. So, my AppStorage and AppGroups seem to be working correctly. I'd like to ask if there's a way to update my images properly and if there's an alternative method to display images without converting them to UIImage. Thanks.

after this bug happen i couldn’t turn it back to normal screen i had to restart all for this to gone

I looked at all the apis that don't support animation, how does Top Widgets do it? Please ask Apple engineers to help, thank you

So I updated my phone to ios18 beta and ever since then my phone will always crash when I enter screen time but any other application nothing will happen, my phone has gotten so much slower and heats up faster. Lags so much! I dont know what else to do. I have 107gb and my max is 128gb so I don’t see that as the issue. Especially since I can’t enter into my screen time. I waited it out for almost two or one week. it hasn’t changed. restarted my phone and everything. please help asap!!!
