- singularity2001 10y agoAt least they now let you build a better Siri alternative: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/samplecode/SpeakToMe/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40017110 https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/sampl... iOS 10.0 not Max
- avn2109 10y agoIndeed, the core use case for an open Siri would be to avoid Apple Maps, e.g. by telling her to "use Google Maps to navigate me to X." They seem to be explicitly forbidding this :(
- MBCook 10y agoThe fact that anyone can do anything with Siri is a HUGE opening from what's deployed now, where Siri can open your app by name and that's it. Now there are defined integration points that are open to all developers. It's not 100%, but that's not Apple's way. Even if they go there they do it a step at a time. This is still a huge improvement for users.
- singularity2001 10y agoyes, that's the method everyone has been waiting for: - (void)resolveDropOffLocationForRequestRide:(INRequestRideIntent *)requestRideIntent

- MBCook 10y agoThat was 'anything' as opposed to 'nothing', not 'anything' as in 'everything'. Rereading it I see how it can be read the other way.
- scottmf 10y agoThat's a bit of a disappointment. I imagine they'll gradually loosen restrictions.
- scrame 10y agoBased on what?
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y ago(Speculation) I'd guess this is so they don't have to solve the hard problem of allowing arbitrary prompts and distinguishing between them (and QC thereof). This way Apple only need to add a few new prompts like "send a message with $appname to $person", and ensure they work consistently.

- Systemic33 10y agoThis is probably 100% about blocking Spotify, and other media companies, directly competing with Apple. But if they were more specific, it would probably smell like anti-compete lawsuit.
