Here is my detailed description to achieve by using Siri.
I'm new in Siri kit integration. I have an app which has certain functionalities like send some information to server. The input is number. Below mentioned actions I want to do via Siri :
Instruct to Siri - Send MyAppname amount used
Siri asks - what is the amount.
Instruct to Siri - Submit
Go through Apple doc and some of other blogs but I didn't find any solution as per my requirements.

2.http://jamesonquave.com/blog/adding-siri-to-ios-10-apps-in-swift-tutorial/
Do we have any custom Intent to perform this?
Is there any way to achieve this actions
Please let me your ideas.
Thanks in advance.
You can only use the intents from the available domains. If you want to send money or something similar to another user use the INSendPaymentIntent intent.

I have below Requirement to integrate iOS Siri into React antive.
Basically I want to build an application that will take certain parameters from user over voice and processes it and returns the result.
Simple ex: Todo App,
User will invoke SIRI by saying
"Hey SIRI create a todo for me "
Siri opens up and asks "What is the todo that I need to add " ?
User says a sample note "reminder to exercise"
Siri passes that information to app and asks another information "When the todo needs to be completed' ?
User says some date.
Post that the the details are processed and todo is stored and success message shown to user via SIRI.
Does anyone how this can be achieved in react native ?? I have already explored react-native-siri-shortcut ad this is not having the above capability. Thanks in advance, quick help is appreciated.
Looks like you don't need Siri but speech recognition. For example, you can use this library https://github.com/react-native-voice/voice which utilize IOS speech recognition.
I'm thinking a lot about how Siri could improve the UX of my App.
I'm coding an app dedicated to fitness, to log your workouts and your personal records.
I would like to let the user use Siri to use features of my App, but I don't really understand if it's possible or not. I read the documentation but it's not very clear for me, I don't know if Siri is limited to "start / stop / pause / resume a workout" or if we can do more.
( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/workouts )
I would like to add things like that:
"Hey Siri, what's my personal record for deadlift?"
"Hey Siri, log 230 reps for my workout of the day"
"Hey Siri, what is the workout of the day?"
Could you tell me if it's possible to do that? Is it possible to connect Siri with your app and your database / functions?
The possible actions that Siri can initiate (the "intents") are pre-defined by Apple. From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit:
SiriKit defines the types of requests—known as intents—that users can
make. Related intents are grouped into domains to make it clear which
intents you might support in your app. For example, the messages
domain has intents for sending messages, searching for messages, and
marking messages as read or unread.
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.

after reading the apple doc on SiriKit, there are only 6 services where Siri SDK can be used. But i would like to know if there is any crack or way where i can use this in my home automation app, where the api request is sent to my server on my voice command.
Edited 2018
Is it possible now with the release of iOS 12, WWDC 2018 and the new updates in Siri, Siri Shortcuts.
Thanks in advance
As you have already pointed it out that there are currently only six categories which are supported by SiriKit. If you want to achieve something like Siri, you can give try to SpeechFramework introduced in iOS 10. That is not actually like SiriKit, but you can achieve your goal with some efforts and playing with the framework. Here is the very good tutorial for using SpeechFramework.
For the point of any crack or something, I would highly not recommend it as there may be chances of app disapproval from apple.
EDIT:
Please check the EDIT section in question.
You can kind-of do it with Siri Shortcuts, but it takes effort from the user.
There is no way for the you to create a special voice command. Only users can go into Settings > Siri Shortcuts and define a voice command to execute a shortcut you created from the Application.
Also, note that the voice command cannot have any parameters that are passed to the application. The voice command would have to execute a specific action that was defined by the application via the Shortcut. So, "Turn on light X," is a different shortcut than "Turn on light Y." The user would have to create two different voice commands.
As far as the shortcut goes, you can execute pretty much any code, so making an API call shouldn't be an issue.
I am creating one App and it has verification phone number required functionality which allow user to enter into App. We send sms to the Users through the gateway and we need to read verification code directly from the SMS without typing code into App. But don't know how to read verification code automatic from the SMS and access in my App.I have gone thorugh the searches for this but could not find any path to move ahead. Is it allow in iOS and if Yes, can anyone tell me what to do to achieve it. Thanks.
Apple added this feature in iOS 12
just add:
if #available(iOS 12.0, *) {
self.verifyCodeTextField.textContentType = .oneTimeCode
}
to your controller and make sure your SMS has "Verification code", "code", "Login code" in it and apple will read those messages and show the last 1 minute received code on top of your keyboard for verifyCodeTextField.
You can check your SMS and there is a line under the number it means apple has detected it in your SMS and you are good to go.
If other people know the keyword in other languages that helps apple to detect the code I would love to know them.
From iOS 12 it is possible to improve the user experience for native textField (actually anything that implements UITextInputTraits to be precise) by:
myOTPTextField.textContentType = .oneTimeCode
More information can be found in docs
For the HTML you can achieve it by:
<input id="my-one-time-password-textfield" autocomplete="one-time-code"/>
More information can be found in docs
Your app can not read directly from the list of SMS messages. That would be a security risk.
But a couple things you can do would be 1:
allow the user to type in the verification code from the SMS (that seems to be the standard thing for most apps)
2:
use a custom URL scheme such as "myapp://verfication:12345" that when clicked in a SMS, goes straight to your installed app and does the verification. Here is a tutorial on how to do the Custom URL scheme thing.
