code examples for appintents

To create code examples for App Intents, you can refer to the session titled "Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents" from WWDC 2024. This session provides insights into how App Intents work and how you can implement them in your app.

Here's a brief overview of the process:

1. Define Core Actions and Content: App Intents allow you to define the core actions and content of your app so that system features like Siri and Spotlight can present them. This involves creating intents that represent actions (verbs) and entities (nouns) in your app.

2. App Shortcuts: You can create app shortcuts by wrapping intents. This allows you to pre-fill parameters and create specific shortcuts that users can invoke via Siri or Spotlight. For example, you can define an app shortcut for a specific task by wrapping an intent and specifying the necessary parameters.

3. Code Example: In the session, a code example is provided where an app shortcut is defined with a static member list of app shortcuts. This involves creating an instance of an intent and wrapping it as an app shortcut. The framework automatically detects these intents, so no registration code is needed.

For a detailed code example, you can refer to the session at the timestamp Building the code (21:00) in the "Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents" session.

Additionally, the session "Design App Intents for system experiences" provides guidance on structuring your app intents to be flexible and readable across various configurations and use cases. This session can help you design powerful app intents that integrate well with system features.
