Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how to integrate Siri into our app. Even though Siri is limited to specific intents, we can still find unique ways to use it, such as using it for messaging, notes, and lists. The overall setup for each intent is the same—the only difference is what you do once the intent hits your app. In the next chapter, we will look at how to distribute our app to others for testing, as well as how to submit our app to the App Store.
