The Choice API is part of the new advances in App Intents, as discussed in the session "Explore new advances in App Intents" at WWDC 2025. This API allows developers to present multiple options to users, enhancing the user experience by providing alternatives to actions like deletion. For example, instead of just confirming a deletion, the API can offer options such as archiving. This is achieved by using the RequestChoice method, which presents a multiple choice snippet with an array of options. Developers can customize these options with custom titles and styles, and handle the user's choice using a switch statement. This feature is designed to keep app intents and UI actions in sync, ensuring a seamless user experience.
