-
Integrating Core Features with App Intents:
- Use App Intents to bring your app’s core features to users more efficiently. This can help in creating shortcuts and widgets that allow users to quickly access their timeline data.
- Session: Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents
-
Designing App Intents for System Experiences:
- Learn how to design App Intents that integrate seamlessly with system features, making it easier for users to interact with your app without needing to switch contexts.
- Session: Design App Intents for system experiences
By combining these tools and frameworks, you can create an app that tracks and visualizes location data, provides interactive experiences, and integrates smoothly with the system to enhance user accessibility and engagement.
Design App Intents for system experiences
App Intents power system experiences in controls, Spotlight, Siri, and more. Find out how to identify the functionality that’s best for App Intents, and how to use parameters to make these intents flexible. Learn how to use App Intents to allow people to take action outside your app, and see examples of when to navigate into your app to show contextual information.
Compose interactive 3D content in Reality Composer Pro
Discover how the Timeline view in Reality Composer Pro can bring your 3D content to life. Learn how to create an animated story in which characters and objects interact with each other and the world around them using inverse kinematics, blend shapes, and skeletal poses. We’ll also show you how to use built-in and custom actions, sequence your actions, apply triggers, and implement natural movements.
Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents
Learn the principles of the App Intents framework, like intents, entities, and queries, and how you can harness them to expose your app’s most important functionality right where people need it most. Find out how to build deep integration between your app and the many system features built on top of App Intents, including Siri, controls and widgets, Apple Pencil, Shortcuts, the Action button, and more. Get tips on how to build your App Intents integrations efficiently to create the best experiences in every surface while still sharing code and core functionality.
