To integrate "Find My" functionality into your app, you can leverage the new app intents and assistant schema introduced by Apple. Here are the steps you can follow:
-
Define App Intents: Use app intents to define the core actions and content of your app. This allows system features like Siri to understand and interact with your app's functionalities.
-
Use Assistant Schema: Adopt the new assistant schema APIs to integrate your app's built-in search functionality with Siri. This will enable Siri to perform actions inside your app on behalf of the user.
-
Implement Search Intents: Create app intents for displaying search results in your app. This can be done by conforming to the existing show in-app search results intent type and using predefined shapes for a more concise implementation.
-
Expose Functionality to Siri: By adding the new assistant schema for search, you can expose your app's search functionality to Siri. This will allow Siri to route users directly to your search results UI.
For a detailed demonstration, you can refer to the session Bring your app to Siri at the 13:35 mark.
