I'm trying to determine the best practice for handling if Image Playground is available but not installed or simply not supported.
If ImagePlaygroundViewController.isAvailable is true, I will just display a button to start an Image Playground session. If it is false, does that mean ImagePlayground is supported but not installed?
If it's supported and not installed, instead of a button to launch it, I want to display something like "Enable Apple Intelligence in Settings" or, better yet, a button that opens the Intelligence settings. Is that possible?
But if it is on a system that doesn't support it, of course, I don't want to instruct the user to enable it. How can I determine if a device cannot install Image Playground?
I read that Apple Intelligence requires iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and all iPhone 16 models, and no mention of the M1 iPad Pro, yet Image Playground runs on my M1 iPad Pro. What are the hardware requirements for Image Playground?
Hi @3DTOPO,
We don't suggest relying on the device model as a method of determining whether Apple Intelligence features are unavailable or disabled by the user. There is no supported way to determine this, but you can file an enhancement request using Feedback Assistant.
Currently, if ImagePlaygroundViewController.isAvailable is false, an app should assume the device is not able to use Image Playground.
Best,
-J
