@siracusa I just listened to the last two episodes of ATP and I might have a fix for your iMessage group thing. I have experienced this many time and the only thing that has consistently worked for me is to remove all customizations to the groups, name, profile photo, background, everything. Bring both groups down to standard groups with no customization force quit iMessage and give it a few minutes. When you go back into iMessage, the groups should be merged.

@caseyliss i’m listening to episode 658 of ATP and maybe it was addressed in the next episode, but you can turn on advanced data protection to do and to end encrypted iCloud backups

@nicklockwood @a_grebenyuk this is going to sound crazy but what happens if you call `.fixedSize()` on the labels inside the menu?

@gallaugher this is because it’s an HDR image, and there is missing image data there if you use SwiftUI photos picker and you are using SwiftUI Image as the transferable, it doesn’t work correctly. Instead, use Data and initialize a UIImage from the image data.

@obrhoff no DFU restore? Should be able to completely restore it from DFU no?

@simonbs exactly. I use it all the time but only to open the camera and the occasional Apple Intelligence

@kylebshr don’t know for sure but things that come to mind are

1) sheet vs non sheet?
2) toolbar placement type?
3) button role?

I don’t know if I have any other ideas but curious what it ends up being.

@stroughtonsmith I just updated my own app Tiny Currency for iOS 26 and Liquid Glass.

It’s not anything special or crazy, but I am proud of the fact that it’s an app that works on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, and it makes use of AppIntents, including support for shortcuts and Siri, and there are many widgets including a really cool interactive one.

It also has support for multiple currency conversions and charts.

@yanlu weird. I was able to get multiple providers in different targets but it still puts them in the same group in shortcuts. No idea how they’re doing that.

@yanlu hmm. Interesting maybe Fantastical hacked around. I just tried copying my provider and putting it in a different extension and that is building. One in my app and one in my widget extension. Not sure if it’s actually going to work though. Testing it now.

@yanlu it’s AppShortcutsProvider

I only have one myself but I’m assuming you can have multiple. Each provider can provide multiple shortcuts.
