Hello and welcome back to another episode of App Stories.

This episode is brought to you by Insta 360.

I'm John Voorhees and with me is Federico Vodici. Hey, Federico. Hello, hello, John. How are you? I'm doing well. It sounds like you have been a busy person. Working with multiple Macs, who would have thought that one day Federico Vatici would spend half of his day, if not more, messing around with Max.

But we'll get to that.

We'll get to that in the post show for App Stories Plus subscribers.

I am coming to you from a different computer.

I switched computers.

We're going to talk about that in the podcast.

Both of us ended up doing some similar things over the past few days.

So we'll talk about it in App Stories Plus.

But today, we're going to talk about App Intents because I feel like to a degree,

some of the information about App Intents has gotten so far in the past now that people forget

where we are, where things stand, and what's needed to get from where we are today to what was shown off at WWDC in 2024.

But before we get to that, I do want to briefly touch on Xcode 26.3 because we talked about that last episode in the post show for App Stories Plus subscribers.

And I had had a little chance to play around with it.

And I was generally positive about it.

I think I generally still kind of like it.

But I run into some more limitations.

And I know you had a chance to look at it too and had some thoughts.

So I thought we would just do a quick recap of where we

stand with Xcode. Yeah, I was mostly disappointed by the lack of the latest OpenAI

Codex models. Xcode 26.3 beta is still stuck on the 5.2 codex models and I really wanted to use the latest to 5.3.
