Apple seriously needs to add a macOS Simulator to the Xcode toolset, like, yesterday. You should be able to install macOS runtimes just like every other platform, and build and run apps directly from Xcode to any of them. Doing compatibility testing for macOS is a nightmare compared to iOS

@stroughtonsmith Also testing App Intents in a sandboxed environment should be possible. Testing macOS App Intents in Debug AND Release Builds on the same Mac is really a pain. When having some debug binaries or old archives in derived data on your Mac, the App Intents for your Release build won't work (at least when called from the Shortcuts app). Took my days to figure out what was going on here. https://norden.social/@czottmann/110566880320830601

> Unable to get connection interface: Error Domain=LNConnectionErrorDomain Code=1100 "Unable to locate `com.apple.appintents-extension` extension" Thanks, macOS, that's suuuuper helpful. 🤨 Trying to move app intents into an Intents Extension. They show up in Shortcuts but error out when run. If anyone has some pointers, I'd be grateful #Swift #IntentsExtension
