appintents

What problem does it solve?

App developers need a standardized way to expose app functionality to system experiences like Siri and Shortcuts, enabling hands-free control and automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• AppIntent protocol: Define a custom intent type by conforming to the AppIntent protocol to describe capabilities and metadata.
• Parameter-driven invocation: Declare inputs with @Parameter so the system can resolve them automatically during invocation.
• Execution and results: Implement perform() to execute the action and return an IntentResult that represents the outcome.

Quick Start

Create a custom AppIntent type with parameters and a perform() method to expose app functionality to Siri and Shortcuts.
