capacitor-app-intents

Exposes Capacitor app features to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, the Action button, Apple Intelligence, widgets and controls with native App Intents in ios/App/App, bridged to the web layer. Covers open-app intents routed through Universal Links / `OpenURLIntent` and @capacitor/app `appUrlOpen`, or a local plugin with a pending-route store; headless background intents; App Group / Preferences data sharing; AppShortcutsProvider phrases, AppEntity queries; iOS 26/27 APIs (`supportedModes` replacing `openAppWhenRun`, `continueInForeground`, `LongRunningIntent`, AppIntentsTesting) gated for Capacitor 8 (iOS 15) and 9 (iOS 16). Covers file placement, target membership, and UIScene (Capacitor 8.5+) URL delivery. Use for "add Siri shortcut", "Shortcuts action", "App Shortcuts", "control widget", or an intent that opens the app but the web view never navigates. Do not use for deep link setup (capacitor-deep-linking), push (capacitor-push-notifications), or Android shortcuts.

# App Intents for Capacitor Apps

Add native App Intents to the iOS project so system surfaces can run app actions, and connect them to the web layer. App Intents are Swift only. There is no JavaScript API for them, so every intent is native code in the App target or an extension, and the web layer is reached through a URL or a small local plugin.

## When to Use

TRIGGER when:
- The user wants Siri phrases, Shortcuts actions, App Shortcuts, Spotlight actions, Action button or Apple Intelligence integration for a Capacitor app
- The user wants a widget button or a Control Center control to run an app action
- An intent opens the app, but the web view does not navigate, or it navigates only on warm launch
- A background intent crashes, times out, or tries to call JS
- Migrating `openAppWhenRun` to `supportedModes`, or adopting iOS 26/27 App Intents APIs
- A plugin author wants to ship App Intents with a plugin
