To create user flows in your app, you can leverage the concept of "App Intents" as discussed in the session titled "Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents" from WWDC 2024. App Intents allow you to highlight important actions in your app, which the device can then present automatically in the right spots, enhancing the user's sense of flow. This means that likely actions from your app are always close by, no matter where users are on their device, allowing them to personalize their experience and making your app an integral part of their daily lives.
To get started with creating user flows using App Intents, you should:
- Identify the core features of your app that users frequently interact with.
- Use App Intents to elevate these features, making them accessible through system features like Siri, shortcuts, and widgets.
- Ensure that your app's actions are flexible and can be personalized by users to fit their workflows.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents (00:01:00) which covers how to improve flow and reduce friction in your app.
