FAQPage Schema

How do I make my iOS app content searchable via Spotlight?▼

To make iOS app content searchable via Spotlight, you generate CoreSpotlight indexing infrastructure by defining conforming models, building attribute sets, and using an index manager for batched processing. This enables seamless content discovery directly from Spotlight search.

How does CoreSpotlight indexing work with SwiftUI?▼

CoreSpotlight indexing works with SwiftUI by applying optional SwiftUI modifiers to wire user-activity handoff for Spotlight results. Your data models must conform to a specific indexing protocol, allowing the index manager to process and surface items within Spotlight.

Can I bulk remove indexed items from Spotlight by domain?▼

Yes, you can bulk remove indexed items from Spotlight by domain. The generated index manager supports domain-based removal, allowing you to efficiently clear searchable Spotlight entries during data migrations or when deleting large datasets.

Does Spotlight indexing support incremental strategies for large datasets?▼

Spotlight indexing supports incremental strategies for large datasets. The generated infrastructure includes a SpotlightIndexManager that handles batch indexing and reindexing after data migrations, ensuring efficient updates without overwhelming the system.

How do I wire NSUserActivity for Siri suggestions and deep linking?▼

You wire NSUserActivity for Siri suggestions and deep linking by integrating it with your CoreSpotlight indexing infrastructure. This combination enables proactive discovery and seamless handoff when users interact with your app content via Spotlight results.
