How can I integrate Siri with a custom iOS app to allow users to search for keywords using their voices? For example the user speaks a keyword and activate the app to search for the result. Or searching specific information with a sentence.
There are basically two main ways to interact with SiriKit:
NSUserActivity, a basic action in your app.
INIntent, allows you to interact with Siri.
You have to choose which one fits you purpose. If you need user input (like a search term) from Siri you probably want to use an INIntent (available in iOS 13+) which then completes with a userActivity with the data you need. That should call the application:continueUserActivity:restorationHandler function in your AppDelegate.
The user can choose to add those features to his SiriShortcuts app himself. You can add a INUIAddVoiceShortcutButton in your app to get the users attention to that feature.

I wonder that if i can set custom title in SKStoreReviewController?
I read the apple document and search a lot in google
But I didn't find solution
What can I do if I want to implement the pop view like image above
No, you can't do it with SKStoreReviewController. Some apps make a custom one but can't send the ratings to the App Store.
According to Apple Documentation:
The SKStoreReviewController API lets you give users an easy way to
provide feedback about your app. You can prompt for ratings up to
three times in a 365-day period. Users will submit a rating through
the standardized prompt, and can write and submit a review without
leaving the app.
It means you can only show a standardized prompt. However, you can create a custom prompt and redirect the user to your app in the app store.
We are allowed to build custom intent for Siri, by extending SiriKit.
Moreover, Apples present how to manage basic integrations and customizations to Siri Shortcuts and Shortcuts app
Link for shortcuts app
Nonetheless, some apps have their own shortcuts UI with a little customization; for instance with the button to allow access for API, how can we do that?
In the documentation presented by Apple, there is no such instruction for how is it possible to customize the UI inside the shortcuts app regarding the custom intent created by my app.
I tried to make custom failure for the Intent response but didn't find the option for API access. Like ↴
However nothing quite similar to the UI presented by Shortcuts App, while attempt to first run trello ↴
These actions are provided by the Shortcuts app itself rather than by Siri intents exposed by another app. Indeed, these actions don’t even need the Trello or Wunderlist apps installed.
This means that Shortcuts can present a different UI.
The UI that it will show for your app is defined by the parameters in your intents file.
You can’t create the same experience for your app, however the user can perform any required authorisation in your app itself and it is reasonable to expect that they have run your app before trying to set up shortcuts that use it.
For example:
if I give command to Siri "Show me my purchase history in [MyApp]"
action should be a segue to that particular view controller in my app.
I have designed an app named CodeX (A handy compiler), I want to add Siri support in version 2 with above capabilities.
SiriKit currently is limited to specific category of service (known as a domain), like fitness, messaging, and payments and can perform certain actions related to these domains only. Your app can integrate with Siri if your action fits in the current supported Domains and Intents. I don't think you can perform the segue since it's not a directly supported action.
According to Intents and thanks to this thread, I know that you can open your app via Siri with "Open [APP NAME]",
What I want to know is if it is possible to tell to Siri just only one word like 'Cheese' to open the Camera app or an other specific keyword set beforehand to open your own app using Siri.
Is it possible ? If yes, I have to use Intents to do that or there is another way ?
Siri runs on the OS level, so in order to use any intents you have set within your app, the user must specify your app.
"Get a ride with Lyft" or "Message Mom in Facebook" etc..

You can use shortcuts app which comes inbuilt in all iOS devices, for knowing more about Siri Shortcuts refer below links.

I want to use Siri to show some data, it it was invoked.
For example if I was developing a news app.
Could I have it such that, if the user asks Siri 'what's the headlines from 'myapp''
It returns the top most headline according to my app
Actually You can't do thar with SiriKit (Intents.framework). The domains allowed are listed below (read more at Siri Programming Guide)...
VoIP calling
Messaging
Payments
Photo
Workouts
Ride booking
CarPlay (automotive vendors only)
Restaurant reservations (requires additional support from Apple)
Maybe what You are looking for is in the Speech Framework.
