  • All features available from iOS app

  • Shortcuts build editor rewritten

  • App mostly written in SwiftUI

  • A lot of new actions added to support Mac-specific needs

  • Lots of FileProvider actions automatically supported for apps using FileProvider

  • Shortcuts get their own file format & can be easily shared (e.g. on a website)

  • Downloaded shortcuts ask for permission when accessing data libraries

  • Shortcuts are signed or notarized for improved security

  • Full support for AppleScript via new action

  • Migration Tool that can convert most Automator workflows to Shortcuts

  • Third party apps can expose actions from the app, system will make use in many places

  • Data can be thought of as “Nouns”, the actions as “Verbs” – one action per verb

  • Actions defined via SiriKit Intent Definition files, each action is an intent

  • Minimum requirement is a displayString and identifier property – more possible

  • Xcode creates classes to use in app, similar to generated Core Data model code

  • App will need to handle incoming intents:

    • Either handle them in-app: Most apps should start with this
    • Or handle via Intent Extension: Lightweight standalone process

  • AppDelegate methods application(handlerFor: Intent) needs to be implemented

  • Implement an IntentHandler conforming to <ActionName>IntentHandling

  • Intent definition file supports custom validation errors that can be "thrown" to the system

  • Contributor comment: Building an intent has 6 steps involved, it’s a lot of work, but worth it for pro users

  • Mac Catalyst apps intents automatically work on Mac, too

  • Same exact intent definition can be used in both iOS & Mac apps for shared workflows

  • MacOS has a command line tool called shortcuts
