Although Siri has been part of iOS for a number of years, it was not until the introduction of iOS 10 that some of the power of Siri has been made available to app developers through SiriKit. Though far from providing full access to the capabilities of Siri, SiriKit does allow certain areas of application functionality to be initiated through the Siri interface. An app designed to send messages, for example, may be integrated into Siri to allow messages to be composed and sent using voice commands.
This chapter will provide an overview of SiriKit and outline the ways in which apps are configured to integrate SiriKit support. The next chapter, entitled [[An iOS 10 Example SiriKit Messaging Extension]] will provide a walk-through of an existing messaging app example integrated with SiriKit. Following on from there, the chapter entitled [[An iOS 10 SiriKit Photo Search Tutorial ]] will create a new project that uses SiriKit to allow Siri-based photo searches to be performed on iOS devices.
