Live activity and ActivityAuthorizationError.visibility in Appintent

Tobias Zimmermann1 minute reading time

Apple has a small limitation in AppIntents and that is you cannot easily launch a LiveActivity from an App Intent.

Error requesting Live Activity visibility.

Fortunately, it can be easily solved by adding ```LiveActivityStartingIntent`` as a protocol:

swift
import AppIntents


struct ShowACommentIntent: AppIntent, LiveActivityStartingIntent {
    
    static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Show a comment"
    static var description = IntentDescription("Show a comment with configuration")
    
    @Parameter(title: "Comment")
    var comment: String?
      
    
    func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
    
    /// Do your thing
    
    }
    
 }
