Sample on how to add a Siri extension into Watch App Extension

XamarinSiriWatchExtension

This repository contains two Xamarin solutions, intentsxamsample and blankwatchsiri, both solutions contain a SiriKit watchOS extension.

blankwatchsiri

This is a template that you can use in your own solution, it contains the following projects:

• blankwatchsiri: This is the main iOS App that serves as the container of the watchOS App.
• blankwatchsiri.WatchApp: This is the main watchOS App that serves as the container of the watchOS App Extension.
• blankwatchsiri.WatchAppExtension: This is where you code your watchOS App and it is also the container of the SiriKit watchOS Extension
• WatchSiriExtension: This is the SiriKit watchOS extension project you want to include into your own Xamarin solution (as of today 2017/15/03 you need to do this manually).

So once you included WatchSiriExtension project into your solution, you will need to manually edit your watchOS App Extension project (.csproj file) with your favorite editor and add the following:

Add this ItemGroup right before the <Import> tag, note you will need to modify the <Project> GUID to match yours, you can find this in your soultion (.sln) file once you added the WatchSiriExtension into your solution:

<ItemGroup>
  <ProjectReference Include="..\WatchSiriExtension\WatchSiriExtension.csproj">
    <IsAppExtension>true</IsAppExtension>
    <Project>{492A4AC2-BFEA-4C60-8B07-30FAE79F5083}</Project>
    <Name>WatchSiriExtension</Name>
  </ProjectReference>
</ItemGroup>

You might want to tweak the code snippet a little in case you have a different path or you named WatchSiriExtension project something else.

If you followed the above you should be all set, happy coding.

intentsxamsample

This is a working example of a SiriKit watchOS/iOS extension, it tries to get you a taxi if you ask Siri to get you one and also shows in maps iOS app as a ride option. Remember that in order to test this you will need to do it on a physical device.

Usage

1. Follow our intructions to correctly set up entitlements and provisioning profiles, for this example you will need com.alexsoto.intentsxamsample as your main app bundle ID.
2. Build & run the app on your device. Confirm when prompted w/ the Siri permissions dialog.
3. Once you have authorized the app to use Siri, Ask Siri "Request a ride" from your watch you should see something like this
