App Intents & Siri Q&A

When using the .photos.asset schema for an AppEntity conforming to IndexedEntity, is there a way to trigger the rich grid layout in Spotlight results that native apps like Photos and Messages currently utilize?

Is the user required to remember the name of my app in order to interact with it via Siri AI?

I’m using SwiftData in my app and would like to support the standard „Find“ Shortcut. What is the best way to use the EntityPropertyQuery’s entities(matching: mode: sortedBy: limit:) function with SwiftData? I’m currently using a Swift Package called CompoundPredicate to construct my predicates based on the QueryProperties and the SortingOptions. I know that SwiftData started to support compound predicates with macOS 14.4/iOS 17.4 or later. But from what I understand they are not dynamic and are validated at compile time. What is a native way to handle this dynamic predicate case of App Intent fetches?

We have existing Siri functionalities in our app, for customer retrieve their bank or credit cards information. How can we leverage new Siri AI features to our existing function? what is correct approach we can go?

I downloaded the beta iOS 27 and I’m still on the waitlist, as are a whole bunch of other people. Is there like a bug of people not getting past the new Siri waitlist?

Is there a supported way to differentiate the trigger source (i.e. Siri, Spotlight, or Shortcut) within the perform() method of an AppIntent?

Will the processing of an Intent result in an App Lifecycle change? How is compute time & network access managed when processing the intent? E.g., would I be able to make backend requests if needed?

Can I make functionality of my app available to Siri AI if they are NOT from one of the predefined App Schema domains? (This was already asked here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/829586 ) Can I define my own App Schemas & App Schema Domains?
