# message

An entity schema for a message.

## Declaration

```swift
var message: some AppSchemaEntity { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion To make your app’s content available to Apple Intelligence, conform your AppEntity to a schema that describes your content to the system. If your app’s functionality aligns with the messages domain and its content matches the message schema, you can generate the properties and protocol conformance the schema requires for your app entity implementation with the @AppEntity( .messages.message) Swift macro. To make your app work with Siri, see Apple Intelligence and Siri AI. The following example shows an app entity that conforms to the message schema: @AppEntity(schema: .messages.message) struct MessageEntity {     // MARK: Static

static let defaultQuery = MessageEntityQuery()

// MARK: Properties

let id: <#Identifiable.ID#>

var messageType: <#MessageType#>     var author: <#MessagePerson#>     var isRead: Bool     var attributes: Set<<#MessageAttribute#>>     var conversation: <#ConversationEntity#>     var date: Date     var subject: AttributedString?     var body: AttributedString?     var attachments: [IntentFile]     var audioMessage: IntentFile?     var customAttachments: [<#CustomAttachment#>]     var locations: [GeoToolbox.PlaceDescriptor]     var links: [LinkPresentation.LinkMetadata]     var messageEffect: <#MessageEffect#>?     var reaction: <#ReadReaction#>?     var referencedMessage: <#MessageEntity#>?     var notificationIdentifier: String?

var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation {         <#DisplayRepresentation#>     }

// MARK: Query

struct MessageEntityQuery: EntityQuery {         func entities(for identifiers: [MessageEntity.ID]) async throws -> [MessageEntity] {             <#code#>         }     } } The schema supports the following system experiences: Siri Shortcuts For more information about the App Intents framework and the experiences it supports, see Getting started with the App Intents framework.
