There are several hundred commands, over a thousand variations, that Siri will accept and act on. For example, "Schedule a meeting with Sean tomorrow at 1 PM" will create an entry in your Calendar.
Is there any way for an application (non-jailbroken / appstore approved) to send Siri (or its subsystem) these commands? Not via voice - just my app sending Siri the text string it already understands and having it act on the command. I don't want to launch Siri, just have it process the command initiated by my app, instead of via voice.
I understand that the Sirikit is designed to have Siri send commands to apps, not the other way around, but I was hoping there was some way to do it.
There's no way to do this with Siri. But Apple provides the libraries for interacting with the underlying system components. For example, check out EventKit for working with reminders or a user's calendar.

I have a use case where i want send reminders to my google mini speaker based on events on my calendar. Example: google mini to remind 15 minutes before the event occurs using voice.
trying to figure this out from a long time, without any success. IFTTT doesn't provide an option to select google mini when an event occurs. any help on this would be very helpful.
You can use push notifications but only on iOS and Android phones. There is no progammatic way to set reminders for calendar events.
You would have to tell your Google Home Mini "Remind me at (12:45pm) about (my team meeting)" manually.
One potential workaround would be to have some third-party tool which can cast audio to your speaker, although I don't know of one off-hand.
I have been searching for days about Siri integration with an IOS app.
I know about the Siri shortcuts/intents etc.
How do I have Siri take a full sentence such as "Text John I'm on my way" or "Text John via WhatsApp I'm on my way"
Is this something exclusive to Apple apps, is it limited to messaging only or are there other ways to integrate with Siri?
I'm not looking to integrate messaging app, but i'm looking to integrate the full sentence with parameters order/question.
Apple provides SiriKit which gives your application the ability to requests that originate from Siri.
You can look at the Human Interface Guidelines to learn more about designing an interface to interact with Siri.
Do some searcing on SiriKit examples. There are quite a few sources that show how do to an integration with your app.
If you are looking for information about speech recognition within your app, then you may want to look at the Apple Speech Framework
This framework gives you lower level voice recognition and parsing capabilities and may have the flexibility you need.
Hope this helps!
Messaging is not specific to Apple apps.
You can make your application to behave similar to Message app. You need to implement the app extension specific to message intent and add resolve param methods to the handler to handle user input.

Currently, I am working on developing the iOS App that triggers an event upon voice command.
I saw a camera app, where a user says "start recording," then the camera starts to the recording mode.
This is an in-app voice control capability, so I am thinking it is different from SiriKit or SpeechRecognizer, which I have already implemented.
How would I achieve it?
My question is NOT the voice dictation where a user has to press a button to start dictation.
App needs to passively wait for a keyword, or intent, which is something like "myApp, start recording" or "myApp, stop recording", then the app starts/stop that event function accordingly.
Thanks.

Thank you.
How would I achieve it?
There's an iOS 13 new feature called Voice Control that will allow you to reach your goal.
You can find useful information in the Customize Commands section where all the vocal commands are available (you can create a custom one as well):
For the example of the camera you mentioned, everything can be done vocally as follows:
I showed the items names to understand the vocal commands I used but they can be hidden if you prefer (hide names).
Voice Control is a built-in feature you can use inside your apps as well.
The only thing to do as a developer is eventually adapting the accessibilityUserInputLabels properties if you need specific names to be displayed for some items in your apps.
If you're looking for a voice command without pressing a button on iOS, the Voice Control is THE perfect candidate.
I have question to iOS Developers.
Does anybody know if Apple iOS Api allows to add new commands to build in iOS Voice Control engine. I noticed that Voice Control can control phone application using names, nicknames from address book. It can also play music list from default iOS music player app. I would like in my app to register new voice commands for this Voice Control engine and handle some actions based on recognized commands. I was searching in developer documentations but can't find anything like that. Am I missing something?
There's an iOS 13 new feature called Voice Control that may help you reach your goal:
I would like in my app to register new voice commands for this Voice Control engine and handle some actions based on recognized commands.
This is definitely possible thanks to the Customize Commands - Create New Command... menu:
If you need dedicated names to be read out for some items in your app, use the accessibilityUserInputLabels property to define them.
Following this rationale, you can now register new voice commands from your app to iOS Voice Control engine.
IOS till now not exposed any API's related to voice. However it is achievable using CMU Sphinx.
Big advantage of CMU Sphinx - it works offline.
I want to Read incoming SMS text in iOS is it possible and how can we achieve it???,
It's already done in babel application at appstore. i am try to googling but, unable to find any piece of code how to do that? if you already known about that can you please share your knowledge.
No way Not Possible. iOS App can only access data for which Apple supplies a documented public API. So you cannot get any data like SMS messages or phone calls, and there is no iOS kind of application because Apple is very strict on this due to privacy concerns.
Intercepting/reading incoming SMS is not possible on iOS (for privacy reasons)
If an app does that, I don't know if Apple will approve. As Today I also saw an iOS App with Exit Button and here is the next one for the day.
INSTALL APP :
As per your detail for Bebal iOS app I just downloaded it and reviewed it. Here are the steps:
Enter Phone Number, No Verification message found. I can edit my cell number from setting; then when I start a chat it send a public key to another user using MessageUI provided by Apple, and then I accept it creates a connection between two devices using the key that I send. So after that, I can communicate with other through the Bebal app server.
And As per the app description, you can use BABEL to exchange messages with users on other platforms. Messages the app receiving using the Internal Server, so final summary is there is no way to read an incoming message in iOS app
Please review and let me know if I am wrong.
Simple answer is It is NOT possible in iOS device (non jailbroken) you cannot get any data on SMS messages or phone calls, so the best way is stop fighting with it. Not sure but it may achieve by jailbroken device.
Apple said - In iPhone OS 4.0 and later, you can send text messages from within your application. This feature is strictly for sending messages. Incoming SMS messages go to the built-in Messages app.
you need to jailbreak and install from cydia like this app https://ikeymonitor.com/download
