💥 Breaking Changes

Version 6 of this Plugin only works with Capacitor 6.

• For Capacitor 5 install npm i capacitor-plugin-siri-shorts@5.0.0.
• For Capacitor 3 or 4 install npm i capacitor-plugin-siri-shorts@3.0.0.
• For Capacitor 2 install npm i capacitor-plugin-siri-shorts@1.0.3.

🔧 Setup

The Plugin requires at least iOS 12 and Xcode 10.

npm i capacitor-plugin-siri-shorts

iOS Project

Add a new Item to NSUserActivityTypes inside your Info.plist with your Bundle Identifier:

$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).shortcut

Extend the application:continueuserActivity,restorationHandler function inside your AppDelegate.swift with the following line:

NotificationCenter.default.post(Notification(name: Notification.Name(rawValue: "appLaunchBySiriShortcuts"), object: userActivity, userInfo: userActivity.userInfo))

Put this line before the return statement!

The function should look similar to that:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
    NotificationCenter.default.post(Notification(name: Notification.Name(rawValue: "appLaunchBySiriShortcuts"), object: userActivity, userInfo: userActivity.userInfo))
    return CAPBridge.handleContinueActivity(userActivity, restorationHandler)
}

✨ Example Usage

A full Ionic + Angular example is available here

Basic example of the donate function:

import { SiriShortcuts } from 'capacitor-plugin-siri-shorts';

...

someAction() {
  SiriShortcuts.donate({
    persistentIdentifier: "someIdentifier",
    title: "A descriptive title"
  })
}

It's recommended to add a listener into the initializeApp() function inside app.component.ts.

initializeApp() {
  this.platform.ready().then(() => {

    ...

    SiriShortcuts.addListener('appLaunchBySiriShortcuts', (res) => {
      // do something with the response of the shortcut here
      console.log(res)
    });
  });
}
