In fact, Maps on iOS expects your extension to handle all of the intents and doesn’t load it if it doesn’t. A ride-booking Intents app extension provides a list of available vehicles, details about the cost of each ride, and status updates for any booked rides. It also facilitates financial transactions associated with any rides and communicates any relevant information to your ride booking service. Shortcuts and Maps handle ride booking differently, and your extension must be able to support both flows. Book Rides from Maps With Maps, users specify information such as the start and end points of their route directly using the Maps interface. Then Maps sends an INListRideOptionsIntent object that describes the user’s trip to your Intents app extension. Provide ride options available for the user’s requested trip. For more information about providing effective ride options, see Generating a List of Ride Options. After the user selects one of your ride options, Maps sends an INRequestRideIntent object to your Intents app extension to handle. Use the information in this object to book the ride. note: When you handle a ride-booking intent from Maps, there isn’t a resolve or confirm step. Instead, Maps validates the user’s origin and destination before sending intents to your Intents app extension. Maps may send the same INGetRideStatusIntent object to your Intents app extension multiple times after booking is complete. Maps may also call the startSendingUpdates(for:to:) method of your intent handler to ask for live status updates. Prepare your handler to push frequent status updates to the specified observer object. For information about how to handle live status updates, see Providing Live Status Updates. Book Rides from Shortcuts and Siri Suggestions Shortcuts and Siri Suggestions send your Intents app extension INRequestRideIntent objects to resolve, confirm, and handle. For more details about this sequence, see Resolving and Handling Intents. Implement the methods in the INRequestRideIntentHandling protocol to prompt the user for additional information and confirm the details of their trip. ## Topics ### Related Articles - [Generating a List of Ride Options](sirikit/generating-a-list-of-ride-options.md) - [Providing Live Status Updates](sirikit/providing-live-status-updates.md) ## See Also ### Articles - [Adding User Interactivity with Siri Shortcuts and the Shortcuts App](sirikit/adding-user-interactivity-with-siri-shortcuts-and-the-shortcuts-app.md) - [Defining Relevant Shortcuts for the Siri Watch Face](sirikit/defining-relevant-shortcuts-for-the-siri-watch-face.md) - [Deleting Donated Shortcuts](sirikit/deleting-donated-shortcuts.md) - [Dispatching intents to handlers](sirikit/dispatching-intents-to-handlers.md) - [Improving Siri Media Interactions and App Selection](sirikit/improving-siri-media-interactions-and-app-selection.md) - [Improving interactions between Siri and your messaging app](sirikit/improving-interactions-between-siri-and-your-messaging-app.md) - [Registering Custom Vocabulary with SiriKit](sirikit/registering-custom-vocabulary-with-sirikit.md) - [Confirming the Details of an Intent](sirikit/confirming-the-details-of-an-intent.md) - [Handling an Intent](sirikit/handling-an-intent.md) - [Resolving the Parameters of an Intent](sirikit/resolving-the-parameters-of-an-intent.md) - [Generating a List of Ride Options](sirikit/generating-a-list-of-ride-options.md) - [Donating Reservations](sirikit/donating-reservations.md) - [Specifying Synonyms for Your App Name](sirikit/specifying-synonyms-for-your-app-name.md) - [Intent Phrases](sirikit/intent-phrases.md) - [Localizing Your Vocabulary for Chinese Dialects](sirikit/localizing-your-vocabulary-for-chinese-dialects.md)
