Reply to Siri not prompting to enable for AppIntent
Hi, thanks so much Ed for your feedback! Wanted to follow up. We made several changes to align with your recommendations: Moved the AppShortcutProvider and the Intent itself out of the xcframework, but left the AppIntentsPackage configuration as it was. Had to use an AppShortcuts.strings file instead of an .xcstrings file because we still support iOS 16. The compiler was catching AppShortcut related phrase issues which was helpful. These changes made it so the Product > App Shortcuts Preview tool in Xcode was functional and behaved as expected. However, we still largely had our issue of the "Turn on "" shortcuts with Siri?" prompt not reliably appearing. We did figure out a hack we could use as a workaround. By adding two duplicate structs of our 1 app shortcut to the AppShortcutsProvider, we were drastically able to improve the reliability of the prompt appearing. For context, we only had 1 app shortcut before. This has allowed us to ship, but brought one side effect: the prompt that asks if you want to turn on shortcuts for Siri shows the phrase in gray text twice now. As that's the only issue with the hack, we felt we could live with that. We do have one more issue that wasn't as highly prioritized: if you try this on the iPad, you get the turn on shortcuts with Siri prompt like we want, but as soon as you turn it on, any subsequent use of the shortcut throws this error: " hasn't added support for that with Siri." As iPad is such a small segment of our user base, our decision makers decided to ship anyway, but it would be ideal to figure out a fix at some point. Still, hopefully this feedback can help improve the product! Thanks so much!
