33% of Chinese developers on Siri Open and skeptical?

For now, in iOS 10, the Siri API only supports six types of applications: Taxi, communication, photo search, payment, VoIP and exercise. There is also a special use case for car manufacturers that allows users to adjust the settings in their cars through the car's proprietary CarPlay application. This means the Siri API is not open to anyone.

The previous one, Apicloud, a 300,000 + developer, made a small vote in the official poll asking developers if they would like to access the Siri API. As of today, a total of 90 developers voted, of which 59 developers are willing to access the Siri API to their own applications, accounting for 66% of the percentage. There are also 21 developers who choose to be on the sidelines and 10 developers choose not to connect.

Apicloud's CTO, Shanda, said: "The Siri API is open, and we're doing research, and most developers are looking forward to Siri, and some of the reasons they're reluctant to accept may be fear of instability and fear of information security, Other conditions that you must meet with Siri also limit the use of some developers. But as an app development platform, Apicloud decided to launch the Siri feature into the module store next week for developers to understand and use.

The following three conditions must be met to use the Siri feature:

1. Current device Siri is enabled;

2. App request Siri permissions (configuration plist), the system pop-up prompt box lets the user choose allow not to allow (similar to the location function); 3. The app must be in the following six categories of apps, otherwise Apple Store approval is rejected.
