Open the starter project for this lesson. You’ll see some additions to the final project from Lesson 1 to get started here. These are similar to the intent introduced in the last lesson, so take a quick look before moving on.

Adding Data to Spotlight

As seen in the last lesson, the entities were added to the Spotlight index so they could be searched. This code was placed into the AppMain.swift file.

Task {
  try await CSSearchableIndex
    .default()
    .indexAppEntities(sessionDataManager.sessions.map(SessionEntity.init(session:)))
}

Making and Registering Shortcuts

Shortcuts can be created as another way to use the information that Spotlight indexed. This also provides the first hooks for Siri to get involved.

Automatic Siri Support

Thanks to the phrases added to the shortcuts, Siri can now respond when the user utters those phrases. To see your spoken words on the screen while debugging, go to Settings -> Apple Intelligence & Siri -> Siri Responses and choose “Always Show Request.”

App Intent Domains

To introduce app intent domains into the Session Tracker app, you need an appropriate entity and intent to add macros to your code. Early in the Assistant Schema API in iOS 18, now called App Intent Domains, a limited set of domains, including browser, mail and photo, were available.

Siri’s personal context understanding, onscreen awareness, and in-app actions are in development and will be available with a future software update.
