This year, I helped create a new set of interactions for the Shortcuts editor, to make composing a shortcut feel lightweight and delightful. Try this out today with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26!

To define the structure of a dictionary, you can provide the model a description / example of the structure you’re looking for in the request field — you’ll want to make sure to name the specific dictionary keys you want! An example of this is in the following session at 05:27: developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…

@duraidabdul absolutely truly amazing and my favourite announcement but please help me understand, when 'dictionary' is selected as output, is there a way to define the structure of the output? is there a reliable way to specify this?

This year, I designed a collection of intelligent actions for Shortcuts & Spotlight on Mac, including a powerful new action that allows you to tap directly into Apple Intelligence models! I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with the incredibly talented group of people who made this a reality!

Check out Ray’s beautifully designed talk to learn how to bring your app’s unique style into Shortcuts and Siri with interactive snippets!

To learn more about the awesome capabilities of this action and how you can make your App Intents work well with it, check out Ayaka's talk: developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww…

oh man, the shortcuts folder feature is 100% the way to use the action button

@mertdumenci @WdeB I have a 34mm max bill (manual wind) on a black leather strap, it’s a beauty! It runs at a consistent +15s/day. I’d highly recommend the classic 34mm size (note, it looks a little larger than I’d typically expect from a 34mm watch because the bezel is pretty much non existent)

This is Max Bill designing his famous Junghans bauhaus style watch. Impressive how this man was an architect, painter, typeface designer, industrial designer and graphic designer. Who here owns a Junghans Max Bill and can I ask some questions?

Want to know what’s new in Shortcuts? There is a page for that 😝 support.apple.com/en-us/HT213544

@SimianOne same

the new avatar movie comes out friday? i just learnt of its existence this second

We're doing another Ask Apple Q&A for App Shortcuts and App Intents tomorrow, at 11 AM. Come ask your questions, and give us your feedback! developer.apple.com/events/ask-app…

@b3ll Still happening. Looks like the hitch occurs when a ProMotion display changes frame rate from 120 Hz to a lower frame rate (it happens near the end of all 120 Hz animations like swiping between pages on the Home Screen or scrolling)

Anyone try 16.2b2 and notice if the weird hitching on app dismissal is fixed?

Stage Manager has genuinely changed how I use my iPad — I reach for it a lot more, use and enjoy it for most of my daily tasks. Huge congrats to the folks involved. 👏

@ayanonagon Love the cat pin 🐈

📣🎒 After 8 years, I’m retiring my beloved Topo Designs Commuter Briefcase & switching to Inside Line Equipment’s Radius Mini. I would have gotten the same backpack again, but I don’t like the new design of the Commuter Briefcase, & I also want to support a very local company.
