Enhancing App Experiences with App Intents and Live Activities
summary
Demo app connects App Intents, Live Activities, widgets and Shortcuts, with code on GitHub and a TestFlight demo; a United Airlines flight-tracking Live Activity is already deployed. Built features include downloads all speaker photos in <1 minute (asks permission), an app intent that favorites sessions used across widget, Dynamic Island and Live Activity, a control-center grid that starts Live Activities from Control Center, and a ChatGPT integration that repeatedly ranks “Monica” as top speaker. Notes: preview/debug tools exist, app groups and dependency injection are required, and Siri-phrase conflicts and privacy need careful testing.
