Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on an App Intent for my iOS app, and I’ve encountered a frustrating issue related to how Siri prompts for a category selection. Here’s an overview of what I’m dealing with:
extension Category: AppEntity, @unchecked Sendable {
var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation {
DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(name)")
}
static var typeDisplayRepresentation = TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Category")
typealias DefaultQueryType = ShortcutsCategoryQuery
static var defaultQuery: ShortcutsCategoryQuery = ShortcutsCategoryQuery()
}
struct ShortcutsCategoryQuery: EntityQuery {
func entities(for identifiers: [String]) async throws -> [Category] {
let context = await ModelContext(sharedModelContainer)
let categories = try CategoryDataProvider(context: context).getItems()
return categories.filter { identifiers.contains($0.id) }
}
func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [Category] {
return try await suggestedEntities()
}
func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Category] {
let context = await ModelContext(sharedModelContainer)
do {
let categories = try CategoryDataProvider(context: context).getItems()
if categories.isEmpty {
print("No categories found.")
}
return categories.map { category in
Category(
id: category.id,
name: category.name,
stringSymbol: category.stringSymbol,
symbol: category.symbol,
stringColor: category.stringColor,
color: category.color
)
}
} catch {
print(error)
return []
}
}
}
The issue arises when I use Siri to invoke the intent. Siri correctly asks me to select a category but does not display any options unless I said something that Siri recognized, like "Casa(House) or *****(Test)" in portuguese. Only then does it show the list of available categories.
I would like the categories to appear immediately when Siri asks for a selection. I've already tried refining the ShortcutsCategoryQuery and debugging various parts of my code, but nothing seems to fix this behavior.
