App developers need to expose app functionality to system surfaces (Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, widgets, and Control Center) by implementing App Intents, AppEntity, and AppEnum models, enabling discoverability and interaction from system surfaces.
Create a sample App Intent, declare parameters with @Parameter, implement perform(), and verify Shortcuts integration.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To expose app actions to Siri and Shortcuts, conform to the AppIntent protocol, declare inputs using @Parameter, implement the perform() method, and register phrases via AppShortcutsProvider to enable system automation.
Spotlight indexing works by conforming your app entities to IndexedEntity and specifying indexed properties, allowing system search to quickly find and open app data directly from Spotlight results.
The best way to model app data for App Intents is by using AppEntity to represent dynamic app data and AppEnum for fixed value options, ensuring your types conform to required protocols for Siri and Shortcuts interaction.
Yes, you can require authentication before an App Intent performs a sensitive action by applying built-in confirmation and authentication mechanisms within your intent implementation to secure user data.
App Intents supports Control Center and widget configuration through WidgetConfigurationIntent and ControlConfigurationIntent protocols, enabling users to personalize and interact with widgets directly from system surfaces.
App Intents on older iOS versions lacks newer features like Visual Intelligence and Snippet support, which require iOS 26 or later, limiting advanced system surface interactions on previous operating system versions.
