I'm currently trying to add support for Image Playground to our apps. It seems that it's not working in an app that is "Designed for iPad" and runs on a Mac. The modal just shows a spinner and the following is logged to console:

Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
GP extension could not be loaded: Extension (platform: 2) could not be found (in update)
dealloc Query controller [C32BA176-6A3E-465D-B3C5-0F8D91068B89]

ImagePlaygroundViewController.isAvailable returns true, however.

In a "real" Mac Catalyst app, it's working. Just not when the app is actually an iPad app.

Is this a bug?

Hi @FrankSchlegel,

I'm assuming you're testing on a device where Apple Intelligence has been enabled in Settings, correct?

Assuming that is the case, can you share a focused sample project that demonstrates the issue so that we can investigate?

Best,

Hi J,

Thanks for the response!

Yes, Apple Intelligence is enabled on my Mac. When I run the app as "real" Mac Catalyst app, it's actually working.

I filed FB16077581 for this, including a very minimal sample project.

The following should be enough when added to a new iOS app project:

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var playgroundVisible = false

    var body: some View {
        Button(action: { playgroundVisible.toggle() }, label: {
            Label("Show Image Playground", systemImage: "apple.image.playground")
        })
        .padding()
        .imagePlaygroundSheet(isPresented: $playgroundVisible) { url in
            print("Image generated: \(url)")
        }
    }
}

I'm also running into a similar issue.

I am writing a native macOS app, and I'm trying to integrate image playground functionality.

For some reason, the "Done" button in the sheet presented is always disabled. Screenshot 2024-12-20 at 11.05.17.png

I'm getting the same error messages as above:

Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
Private sandbox for com.apple.GenerativePlaygroundApp.remoteUIExtension : <none>
