Apple lets all developers test their apps’ integration with Siri AI

On November 3, 2026, Apple began letting all developers test their apps’ integration with Siri AI. Testing takes place in the 27.3 betas of iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS.

Apple uses the example of a passenger waiting for their driver. The passenger has already booked the ride. On their iPhone, they can track the approaching car through a Live Activity, the tracking tile displayed by the ride app.

If the passenger asks Siri to change the pickup address, the tile helps the assistant identify the app without the passenger having to name it. The passenger could then change the pickup location without navigating the menus, provided the developer has made that action available to Siri.

Passengers still have no date for general availability. Spring 2027 is when Apple expects to accept App Store submissions for apps that integrate these features. As of November 3, 2026, Siri AI remains unavailable on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch in France and the rest of the European Union.

How developers tell Siri which actions to string together

With the App Intents tools, developers declare which actions their app can perform and which data it makes available to Siri. For the first third-party apps to integrate with Siri AI, Apple already offered action templates, as 9to5Mac notes.

In the 27.3 beta, developers can also write a “skill” to guide Siri AI when a request calls for several actions in their app. These instructions tell the assistant which actions to combine. In the passenger example, the tracking tile helps Siri identify the ride service.

Apple documents an App Intents bug in the iOS and iPadOS 27.3 beta release notes. Siri AI can display a data item from the app or one of the item’s properties without asking the user to unlock the device, even when the developer requires it to be unlocked before showing that information.
