how do i add apps intent

To add app intents, you should follow the guidance provided in the session "Design App Intents for system experiences" from WWDC 2024. Here are some key points to consider:

1. Identify App Intents: Start by identifying the most habitual tasks in your app that could be useful outside of it. In iOS 18, the guidance has expanded to include more than just common functionality, so consider any task your app performs as a potential app intent.

2. Structure Intents: Ensure your app intents are flexible and readable across various configurations and use cases. Avoid creating multiple intents for the same task; instead, use parameters to make a single intent versatile.

3. Parameters: Use parameters to allow users to customize the intent. For example, if you have an intent to open a specific feature in your app, use parameters to let users choose which feature to open.

4. Open When Run: Decide whether your app should open when an intent is run. This is useful if the intent results in a change in the app UI or if it inherently functions to open a particular view.

5. Avoid Specific UI Elements: App intents should not exclusively trigger specific UI elements. Instead, they should represent the underlying task that users typically access through these elements.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Design App Intents for system experiences (01:50) which covers which app intents to make, and Structuring App Intents (03:53) for structuring them effectively.
