Hi I'm having a problem with DataScannerViewController, I'm using the volume barcode scanning feature in my app, prior to that I was using an AVCaptureDevice with the UltraWideAngle set. After discovering DataScannerViewController, we planned to replace the previous obsolete code with DataScannerViewController, all together it was ok, when I want to set the ultra wide angle, I don't know how to start. I tried to get the minZoomFactor and I realized that I get 0.0 I tried to set zoomFactor to 1.0 and I found that he is not valid Note: func dataScannerDidZoom(_ dataScanner: DataScannerViewController), when I try to get the minZoomFactor, set the zoomFactor in this proxy method, I find that it is valid! What should I do next, I want to use only DataScannerViewController and implement ultra wide angle Thanks a lot.

Are there any guidelines for using Foundation Models To generate text for users in response to some canned queries? Should we use a special icon or text to let the user know that Apple Intelligence is generating the text? Should there be a disclaimer like, Apple Intelligence can make mistakes, please check for accuracy, etc?

I keep getting the error “An unsupported language or locale was used.” Is there any documentation that specifies the accepted languages or locales in Foundation model?

Hi everyone, I'm working on a SwiftUI app and need help building a view that integrates the device's camera and uses a pre-trained Core ML model for real-time object recognition. Here's what I want to achieve: Open the device's camera from a SwiftUI view. Capture frames from the camera feed and analyze them using a Create ML-trained Core ML model. If a specific figure/object is recognized, automatically close the camera view and navigate to another screen in my app. I'm looking for guidance on: Setting up live camera capture in SwiftUI. Using Core ML and Vision frameworks for real-time object recognition in this context. Managing navigation between views when the recognition condition is met. Any advice, code snippets, or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'm developing a macOS application using the FoundationModels framework (LanguageModelSession) and encountering issues with the content sanitizer blocking legitimate text input. ** Issue Description:** The content sanitizer is flagging text strings that contain certain substrings, even when they represent legitimate technical content. For example: F_SEEL_SEX1S.wav (sE Electronics SEX1S microphone model) Technical product identifiers Serial numbers and version codes ** Broader Concern:** The content sanitizer appears to be applying restrictions that seem inappropriate for user-owned content. Even if a filename were something like "human sex.wav", users should have the right to process their own legitimate files on their own devices without content filtering interference. ** Error Messages:** SensitiveContentSettings: Sanitizer model found unsafe content in value FoundationModels.LanguageModelSession.GenerationError error 2 ** Questions:** Is there a way to disable content sanitization for processing user-owned content? 2. What's the recommended approach for applications that need to handle arbitrary user text? 3. Are there APIs to process personal content without filtering restrictions? ** Environment:** macOS 26.0 FoundationModels framework LanguageModelSession Any guidance would be appreciated.

Keep getting error : I have tried Picker for File, Photo Library , both same results . Debugging the resize for 360x360 but still facing this error. The model I'm trying to implement is created with CreateMLComponents The process is from example of WWDC 2022 Banana Ripeness , I have used index for each .jpg . Prediction Failed: The VNCoreMLTransform request failed Is there some possible way to solve it or is error somewhere in training of model ?

Hello, My app fully relies on the new Foundation Models. Since Foundation Models require Apple Intelligence, I want to ensure that only devices capable of running Apple Intelligence can install my app. When checking the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities property for a suitable value, I found that iphone-performance-gaming-tier seems the closest match. Based on my research: On iPhone, this effectively limits installation to iPhone 15 Pro or later. On iPad, it ensures M1 or newer devices. This exactly matches the hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence. However, after setting iphone-performance-gaming-tier, I noticed that on iPad, Game Mode (Game Overlay) is automatically activated, and my app is treated as a game. My questions are: Is there a more appropriate UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities value that would enforce the same Apple Intelligence hardware requirements without triggering Game Mode? If not, is there another way to restrict installation to devices meeting Apple Intelligence requirements? Is there a way to prevent Game Mode from appearing for my app while still using this capability restriction? Thanks in advance for your help.

iOS26 is supported by a wider range of devices than are able to run AI, e.g iPhone 12 runs iOS26, but does not support AI. How do we determine in code if AI is supported on a device ? How do we determine what features use AI under the hood ? Thanks, Steve.

Hello! I have a TrackNet model that I have converted to CoreML (.mlpackage) using coremltools, and the conversion process appears to go smoothly as I get the .mlpackage file I am looking for with the weights and model.mlmodel file in the folder. However, when I drag it into Xcode, it just shows up as 4 script tags instead of the model "interface" that is typically expected. I initially was concerned that my model was not compatible with CoreML, but upon logging the conversions, everything seems to be converted properly. I have some code that may be relevant in debugging this issue: How I use the model: model = BallTrackerNet() # this is the model architecture which will be referenced later device = self.device # cpu model.load_state_dict(torch.load("models/balltrackerbest.pt", map_location=device)) # balltrackerbest is the weights model = model.to(device) model.eval() Here is the BallTrackerNet() model itself import torch.nn as nn import torch class ConvBlock(nn.Module): def __init__(self, in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, pad=1, stride=1, bias=True): super().__init__() self.block = nn.Sequential( nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size, stride=stride, padding=pad, bias=bias), nn.ReLU(), nn.BatchNorm2d(out_channels) ) def forward(self, x): return self.block(x) class BallTrackerNet(nn.Module): def __init__(self, out_channels=256): super().__init__() self.out_channels = out_channels self.conv1 = ConvBlock(in_channels=9, out_channels=64) self.conv2 = ConvBlock(in_channels=64, out_channels=64) self.pool1 = nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2) self.conv3 = ConvBlock(in_channels=64, out_channels=128) self.conv4 = ConvBlock(in_channels=128, out_channels=128) self.pool2 = nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2) self.conv5 = ConvBlock(in_channels=128, out_channels=256) self.conv6 = ConvBlock(in_channels=256, out_channels=256) self.conv7 = ConvBlock(in_channels=256, out_channels=256) self.pool3 = nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2) self.conv8 = ConvBlock(in_channels=256, out_channels=512) self.conv9 = ConvBlock(in_channels=512, out_channels=512) self.conv10 = ConvBlock(in_channels=512, out_channels=512) self.ups1 = nn.Upsample(scale_factor=2) self.conv11 = ConvBlock(in_channels=512, out_channels=256) self.conv12 = ConvBlock(in_channels=256, out_channels=256) self.conv13 = ConvBlock(in_channels=256, out_channels=256) self.ups2 = nn.Upsample(scale_factor=2) self.conv14 = ConvBlock(in_channels=256, out_channels=128) self.conv15 = ConvBlock(in_channels=128, out_channels=128) self.ups3 = nn.Upsample(scale_factor=2) self.conv16 = ConvBlock(in_channels=128, out_channels=64) self.conv17 = ConvBlock(in_channels=64, out_channels=64) self.conv18 = ConvBlock(in_channels=64, out_channels=self.out_channels) self.softmax = nn.Softmax(dim=1) self._init_weights() def forward(self, x, testing=False): batch_size = x.size(0) x = self.conv1(x) x = self.conv2(x) x = self.pool1(x) x = self.conv3(x) x = self.conv4(x) x = self.pool2(x) x = self.conv5(x) x = self.conv6(x) x = self.conv7(x) x = self.pool3(x) x = self.conv8(x) x = self.conv9(x) x = self.conv10(x) x = self.ups1(x) x = self.conv11(x) x = self.conv12(x) x = self.conv13(x) x = self.ups2(x) x = self.conv14(x) x = self.conv15(x) x = self.ups3(x) x = self.conv16(x) x = self.conv17(x) x = self.conv18(x) # x = self.softmax(x) out = x.reshape(batch_size, self.out_channels, -1) if testing: out = self.softmax(out) return out def _init_weights(self): for module in self.modules(): if isinstance(module, nn.Conv2d): nn.init.uniform_(module.weight, -0.05, 0.05) if module.bias is not None: nn.init.constant_(module.bias, 0) elif isinstance(module, nn.BatchNorm2d): nn.init.constant_(module.weight, 1) nn.init.constant_(module.bias, 0) I have been struggling with this conversion for almost 2 weeks now so any help, ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I am experimenting with Foundation Models in my time tracking app to analyze users tracked events, but I am finding that the model struggles with even basic computation of time. Specifically converting from seconds to hours and minutes. To give just one example, when I prompt: "Convert 3672 seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds. Don't include the calculations in the resulting output" I get this: "3672 seconds is equal to 1 hour, 0 minutes, and 36 seconds". Which is clearly wrong - it should be 1 hour, 1 minute, and 12 seconds. Another issue that I saw a lot is that seconds were considered to be minutes, or that the hours were just completely off. What can I do to make the support for math better? Or is that just something that the model is not meant to be used for?

I am currently training a Tabular Classification model in CreatML. The dataset comprises 30 features, including 1,000,000 training data points and 1,000,000 verification data points. Could you please estimate the approximate training time for an M4Max MacBook Pro? During the training process, CreatML has been displaying the “Processing” status, but there is no progress bar. I would like to ascertain whether the training is still ongoing, as I have often suspected that it has ceased.

My sample app has been working with the following code: func call(arguments: Arguments) async throws -> ToolOutput { var temp:Int switch arguments.city { case .singapore: temp = Int.random(in: 30..<40) case .china: temp = Int.random(in: 10..<30) } let content = GeneratedContent(temp) let output = ToolOutput(content) return output } However in 26 beta 5, ToolOutput no longer available, please advice what has changed.

Hi everyone, I am using Xcode 16.4 in MacOS Sequoia 15.5 with Apple Intelligence turned on. The following code gives the error message in the title: import NaturalLanguage @available(iOS 18.0, *) func testSystemModel() { let model = SystemLanguageModel.default print(model) } What am I missing?

While building an app with large language model inferencing on device, I got gibberish output. After carefully examining every detail, I found it's caused by the fused scaledDotProductAttention operation. I switched back to the discrete operations and problem solved.

Hey, I've been trying to write an AI agent for OpenAI's GPT-5, but using the @Generable Tool types from the FoundationModels framework, which is super awesome btw! I'm having trouble implementing the tool calling, though. When I receive a tool call from the OpenAI api, I do the following: Find the tool in my [any Tool] array via the tool name I get from the model if let tool = tools.first(where: { $0.name == functionCall.name }) { // ... } Parse the arguments of the tool call via GeneratedContent(json:) let generatedContent = try GeneratedContent(json: functionCall.arguments) Pass the tool and arguments to a function that calls tool.call(arguments: arguments) and returns the tool's output type private func execute<T: Tool>(_ tool: T, with generatedContent: GeneratedContent) async throws -> T.Output { let arguments = try T.Arguments.init(generatedContent) return try await tool.call(arguments: arguments) } Up to this point, everything is working as expected. However, the tool's output type is any PromptRepresentable and I have no idea how to turn that into something that I can encode and send back to the model. I assumed there might be a way to turn it into a GeneratedContent but there is no fitting initializer. Am I missing something or is this not supported? Without a way to return the output to an external provider, it wouldn't really be possible to use FoundationModels Tool type I think. That would be unfortunate because it's implemented so elegantly. Thanks!

Our app is downloading a zip of an .mlpackage file, which is then compiled into an .mlmodelc file using MLModel.compileModel(at:). This model is then run using a VNCoreMLRequest. Two users – and this after a very small rollout - are reporting issues running the VNCoreMLRequest. The error message from their logs: Error Domain=com.apple.CoreML Code=0 "Failed to build the model execution plan using a model architecture file '/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/F93077A5-5508-4970-92A6-03A835E3291D/Documents/SKDownload/Identify-image-iOS/mobile_img_eu_v210.mlmodelc/model.mil' with error code: -5." The URL there is to a file inside the compiled model. The error is happening when the perform function of VNImageRequestHandler is run. (i.e. the model compiled without an error.) Anyone else seen this issue? Its only picked up in a few web results and none of them are directly relevant or have a fix. I know that a CoreML error Code=0 is a generic error, but does anyone know what error code -5 is? Not even sure which framework its coming from.

Is it possible to expose a custom VirtIO device to a Linux guest running inside a VM — likely using QEMU backed by Hypervisor.framework. The guest would see this device as something like /dev/npu0, and it would use a kernel driver + userspace library to submit inference requests. On the macOS host, these requests would be executed using CoreML, MPSGraph, or BNNS. The results would be passed back to the guest via IPC. Does the macOS allow this kind of "fake" NPU / GPU
