Is there a way to use a custom App Entity type in an App Intent but have it show as a plain text field in the Shortcuts app? I can handle converting to and from a string myself. I looked into resolvers but they don’t seem to control how input fields appear in Shortcuts.

UIDesignRequiresCompatibility, or as I like to call it: ‘Liquid Pass’.

This took me by surprise. The code generated by the @Observable macro in Xcode 26 beta 3 is noticeably different from what Xcode 16 produced.

I’m SO close to generating entire app entities and app intents from models. The last blocker is generating `parameterSummary`. I keep getting: "The property 'parameterSummary' must have a compile-time static value and cannot be computed or dynamic" No idea how to solve it.

Noooo! Tried using a Swift macro to generate an App Intent and Xcode fails to compile because it can't find its own generated file (I think?). Tested in Xcode 26b3 and 16.4. I really needed this to work for my new project 😢 (FB18843876) Example project: github.com/simonbs/AppleF…

When I first started exploring Swift macros a long time ago, it became my understanding that there was no way for @MyMacro (attached to Foo) to access the members of Bar. Is that still the case, or has something changed? @MyMacro struct Foo {} struct Bar { var text = "" }

Building Swift macros would be so much easier if Xcode's "Expand macro" feature worked reliably. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it's only working once out of 100 times for me and it's been like this since macros were introduced.
