Making actions and content discoverable and widely available

Making actions and content discoverable and widely available Adopt App Intents to make your app discoverable with Spotlight, controls, widgets, and the Action button.

Overview

The App Intents framework offers functionality to express your app’s actions and data in a way that enables deep integration with system capabilities Apple Intelligence provides and system experiences like Spotlight. Use App Intents to enable people to view your app’s content and to use its actions when and where they need them — whether they’re using your app or are elsewhere in the system.

The App Intents API is a fundamental framework that facilitates deep integration with system experiences across platforms and devices. You use the framework to express data and actions once to build a reusable foundation for many experiences and features. For example, use App Intents to integrate your app with Siri and Apple Intelligence, then reuse the code to create controls and interactive widgets in combination with WidgetKit.

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