IntentExecutionTargets
A set of options that describes which process performs an intent or entity query.
Declaration
struct IntentExecutionTargetsOverview
If you reuse intents and entities between your app, widget extension, or App Intents extension by using a Swift package or framework, the system may perform your AppIntent or EntityQuery from the app or App Intents extension. By default, the system performs an intent or entity query using any available target. Use IntentExecutionTargets to tell the system which targets can perform your AppIntent or EntityQuery. For example, a browser app might represent browser tabs and bookmarks as app entities and offer app intents to add a bookmark or open a browser tab. Adding a bookmark might be an action that can happen while the app isn’t visible, so performing the action in the App Intents extension makes sense. However, opening a new tab makes sense only when the app is visible, requiring the system to perform the intent in the app’s process.
The following example shows an app intent that the system performs in either the main app or the app intents extension:
struct MyIntent: AppIntent {
static var allowedExecutionTargets: IntentExecutionTargets { [.main, .appIntentsExtension] }
}
