Watch the WWDC2025 App Intents Developer Sessions In This Order

Watch Apple’s 2025 developer sessions in the best order to master Shortcuts, Spotlight, and interactive snippets.

After announcing updates at WWDC, Apple released four new developer sessions directly related to App Intents—the API that lets Apple Intelligence understand and interact with apps—following up on sessions from years past.

Here are this year’s sessions – in my recommended viewing order:

  1. Get to Know App Intents (24:36)
  2. Explore new advances in App Intents (26:49)
  3. Develop for Shortcuts and Spotlight with App Intents (18:56)
  4. Design Interactive Snippets (7:28)

Start with the summary of the API, see what’s new this year, learn the most relevant ways users will interact with your app, and then take a look at advances in snippets – in 1 1/2 hours of focused viewing.

Enjoy – there’s lots to learn!
