Start with one real user task
Choose something useful that people already do in the app. It should have a clear owner, an easy-to-understand result, and working code that can be tested.
One focused action is more useful than a long list of ideas. Add more actions after the first one has been reviewed and tested.
Prepare the project
- Name the task in words your users already understand.
- Find the service or data store in your app that already performs the work.
- List what goes in, what comes back, what changes, who may run it, when to ask first, and how it can fail.
- Gather existing App Intents, App Shortcuts, tests, and release notes.
- Choose the Apple feature that someone must check by hand before release.
Run the first pass
- AuditInspect the current code and record only what you can show is true.
- DefineAgree on the action’s ID, details, permissions, and open questions.
- ConnectCreate an App Intent that calls the app’s existing code.
- TestBuild the app, run focused tests, and check the real installed feature.
- ReleaseSave the test results with the exact action and app version.
