To use UIAction in your app, you can refer to the session What’s new in UIKit. This session covers how UIAction can be used to support system invocations and enhance the user experience across different devices, including iPhone mirroring and Mac keyboards.

Here are some key points from the session:

  • Menu Actions: UIAction can be used to provide commands in the macOS menu bar, iPadOS, and visionOS keyboard shortcut menus. This makes menu actions more useful for iPhone as well.
  • System Invocations: UIAction, along with UICommand and UIKeyCommand, can be invoked by the system to control apps. For example, when your app is used through iPhone mirroring, UIKeyCommand will be invoked from the Mac keyboard.

For more detailed information on how to add commands to the main menu system, you can check out the video "Take your iPad apps to the next level" mentioned in the session.

If you need more specific details or examples, you can watch the session starting from the Menu actions chapter.
