@brunocbreis Nossa, sua conta de ar condicionado vai competir com a quantidade de tokens que usa em alguma AI haha

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@brunocbreis @brunoasgarcia Não reclamo, pois quando ele vai embora eu sinto falta haha

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@_inside Awesome!!!
Are you using it with a provider (Claude or Gemini) or just FM?

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@rafaelks I have an app for macOS in development, that the core is the App Intents/App Shortcuts, and with Siri AI now I will have to postpone a little more, because a lot has changed 😅

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

Yeah, WWDC26 actually feels very aligned with what you’re saying. App Intents are basically becoming Siri’s tool layer. With App Schemas, Siri can understand the request, resolve entities, fill params, and execute the intent.
I think the catch is that it’s still schema-bound. So not “any AppIntent description becomes a free-form Siri tool” yet, but definitely moving in that direction.

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

Declare the App Intent ≠ Siri know when to call it. In free speech she marries sentences, she doesn't understand semantics. For voice it has to be App Shortcut with phrases (+ app name) or conform to an Assistant Schema (iOS 18). The existing thousands were made for Shortcuts/widgets/Spotlight, where you select by hand - without ambiguity, without the need for a schema.

I haven't seen this year's news for app intents yet, but I hope that with LLMs (Claude and Gemini) we have more flexibility

It's running now, it just needed to restart the Mac

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

I'm testing Xcode 27, I used to only use it for more targeted things, but I'm testing bigger things, with plans and skills, so far everything is OK...

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

Adding, I just realized that for some reason I haven't been able to figure out yet, it isn't running on the Simulator

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@Jchammond_ Try to put this in plan mode, saying that it is a rule for this implementation.

And that his function is to orchestrate the sub-agents.

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@everton_dev I have an app that does the same, and the biggest problem I find in intents with Siri are the possible locations.

Often the user who activates the intent, but he doesn't say what Siri expects

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

WWDC is coming...

#wwdc #applepark

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@rafaelks @tripsyapp I see many apps extending their features to agents outside of them, this integration is really cool!!!

But I also think it would be great to use the power of agents within the apps' ecosystem.

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

@thekitze It looks like a motorcycle club logo, I like it!!!

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

Developers have always been builders, but current builders will never be developers, unless they become developers...

#dev #development #indiedev

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

Depending on your use of CI/CD, you can configure multiple target branches.

Feature x, branch-feature-x, everything that is merged into this branch runs x tests.

Develop runs unit and UI tests.

Main runs security tests.

And all of this runs directly inside Xcode.
It works beautifully 😅

[Danilo Requena  @nilodobi]

I solved this part of the testing with Xcode Cloud; basically, the heavier tests run there.

When I’m working on several things at the same time (I don’t like it much, but sometimes it’s necessary), I set up different simulators for each session, whether it’s a session with agents or me working on it.
