I want to integrate Siri in my app and make it perform specific actions i.e:
1- open specific view
2- send feedback
I searched about this functionality, but no useful answers were found.
anyone have tried use Siri like this way?
Thanks.
Siri right now only works for certain 'domains' (see https://developer.apple.com/sirikit/).
If you app is in one of these domains you can trigger certain app functions through Siri. Depending on what kind of app you are working on you could theoretically use the Messaging domain to let users send you feedback.
You won't be able to use Siri to navigate through your app by voice but you might be able to trigger certain features.

We want to enable Google Assistant with custom actions via the button, not the voice input (keyword).
For example, usually, we enable Google Assistant with word "Hello, Google, show me the weather.". But within our production, we want to press one specific button, and then it could send the sentence above out to Google Assistant directly.
But we can't find any APIs to support this requirement. And we heard that Google plan to support hard-key method since Samsung make good experiences on S8
Do anyone help us to fix this gap?
Thank you!
You could use an Action link without any additional parameters specified to trigger the MAIN intent, or specify the custom intent you'd like to trigger.
Is it possible on a WKInterfaceController to know when a WKInterfaceTable has been pulled down so I can refresh the contents of the table? I know this is possible on many iphone apps and im looking for a similar feature.
If so, could you please provide some example code?
This is not possible in the WatchKit SDK. There is no access to anything similar to the UIRefreshControl from iOS for third party developers, and additionally nothing equivalent to UIGestureRecognisers nor API functions associated with taps or swiping for third party developers.
With regards to taps, it is possible to respond to events on button presses, through an IBAction, it's just that we can't interrogate the taps in terms of things like tap location...
I was wondering if it would be possible to change, or at least interfere, with how one of the Apple applications works. For example, would it be possible to have my app run in the background and have an alert box pop up instead of sending an email in the Mail app. The action could have a 'cancel' or 'send' option. I was just wondering if Apple would allow this if it was clearly stated as an app that would interfere with the current function of another app.
Neither is it possible to do this, nor would Apple allow it.
Just wondering, can we integrate Google Maps and Siri together. For Example:
I ask Siri, "show nearest Starbucks" and Siri will open the Map app or Google Maps and show the nearest Starbucks on the map.
Or
I ask Siri, "show me all Apple Stores". Siri will open the map and show all the locations of Apple Stores on the map.
Is this doable?
I havn't found any good tutorial,documentation to study more about Siri implementation, apart from articles only. There is no technical documentation/API available?
This isn't directly supported right now, without writing a third party website that Siri can hook into. According to the below linked documentation, from Apple's website, Siri on iOS 6 will support this functionality in at least limited part:

Eyes Free
Apple is working with car manufacturers to integrate Siri into select voice control systems. Through the voice command button on your steering wheel, you’ll be able to ask Siri questions without taking your eyes off the road. To minimize distractions even more, your iOS device’s screen won’t light up. With the Eyes Free feature, ask Siri to call people, select and play music, hear and compose text messages, use Maps and get directions, read your notifications, find calendar information, add reminders, and more. It’s just another way Siri helps you get things done, even when you’re behind the wheel.
This encourages me to believe that they will also expose the API (because someone will ferret it out if it exists) to normal API consumers during the iOS 6 lifecycle, probably before iOS 6.1, or with that release.
It is not currently possible through any kind of API that Apple use. However, there are some third party APIs that you could use such as: https://www.ispeech.org/developers/iphone You'd have to use that and then pass on the returned data to the Google Maps API.
Although this approach won't be as intuitive as using Siri, since that is not currently possible, this is the best bet you have for the mean time.
Unfortunately, Apple has not opened Siri's API to developers yet making this task impossible. However, Apple will probably open it soon. If you just want to use it for personal use, check out SiriProxy (https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy). SiriProxy lets you do exactly what you asked; however, for it to work, you must be on your wifi network so it cannot be in one of your app. Good Luck!
Is there any way to do this?
In other words, is it possible during a call to allow the user to open a certain application? (for example, to provide information based on the person who is calling).
If not, will something like this be available on iOS 4?
You can open an application during a call (not automatically).
User can press the home button (the one that is under the screen) during a call and open some third party application.
Another issue is to retrieve the contact that the user is talking to now - I believe that this is impossible.
Regarding iOS 4 - I am pretty sure that this will be possible...
No.
AFAIK, there are two ways to launch an application:
The user taps the icon
The user responds to a push notification
You cannot directly control when your app is launched. Furthermore, once your app is running, there is no way to access information about the current call.
