FAQPage Schema
How do I expose my app's features to Siri and Shortcuts using AppIntents?▼

To expose app features to Siri and Shortcuts, define an AppIntent with a title and description, declare parameters with @Parameter, and create AppShortcut phrases for conversational access across Apple platforms.

What is the best way to make app content searchable in Spotlight?▼

Make app content searchable in Spotlight by conforming to IndexedEntity and using @Property metadata to provide static indexing requirements for discoverability across the Apple ecosystem.

Can I run AppIntents in the background or do they require foreground execution?▼

AppIntents support both background and foreground execution, allowing actions to run without app activation or interactively in the foreground depending on the specific use case and SnippetIntent support.

Does Visual Intelligence work with AppEntities defined in my app?▼

Visual Intelligence integrates with app functionality via AppEntities, enabling searchable content access and interactive snippets when the proper entity queries and property macros are implemented.

How do I share AppIntents across multiple targets like app extensions?▼

Share AppIntents across multiple targets by implementing SnippetIntents and AppIntentsPackage, which provide reusable, cross-target functionality for both apps and extensions within the Apple ecosystem.

What are the limitations when defining AppShortcuts phrases for Siri?▼

AppShortcuts phrases require static metadata definitions and must be paired with properly declared AppIntent parameters using @Parameter to ensure Siri can accurately parse and execute the intended actions.
