How to open app when indexed entity is tapped in Spotlight?

To open an app when an indexed entity is tapped in Spotlight, you need to follow these steps:

1. Conform to the IndexedEntity Protocol: First, ensure that your entity conforms to the new IndexedEntity protocol. This allows your app's entities to be indexed by Spotlight.

2. Index Your Entities: In your app's initialization method, index all the entities using CSSearchableIndex. This can be done by calling indexAppEntities on CSSearchableIndex.

3. Implement an Intent: Create an intent that can handle the entity. For example, if you have a trail entity, you might have an OpenTrailIntent that accepts a trail entity as a parameter.

4. Search and Tap: When a user searches for the entity in Spotlight and taps on the result, the intent will be triggered, and the app will open to the relevant content.

Here is a more detailed breakdown from the session "What’s new in App Intents":

• Indexing the Entity:

  // Add conformance to IndexedEntity protocol
  struct Trail: IndexedEntity {
      // Implementation details
  }
  
  // Indexing entities in the app's init method
  let trails = dataManager.getAllTrails()
  CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities(trails)
  

• Handling the Tap:

  • Ensure you have an intent that can handle the entity. For example, OpenTrailIntent:

  struct OpenTrailIntent: AppIntent {
      @Parameter(title: "Trail") var trail: Trail
  
      func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
          // Open the app to the specific trail
      }
  }
  

When the user taps on the search result in Spotlight, the OpenTrailIntent will be triggered, and the app will navigate to the specific trail.
