Let Them Say What They Want: Adding Siri Shortcuts

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

iOS 12 Siri Shortcuts map a single user phrase to a specific action so users can donate intent and Siri can suggest or run it. two implementation paths matter: NSUserActivity vs Intent — NSUserActivity restores UI and always opens the app, intents can execute in background via an INIntent extension and support custom Siri UI (noninteractive). setup requires intent definitions, parameter modeling, donation for predictions, and testing via the developer settings; images and watch relevancy improve discovery.
