feat: iOS intents to integrate Immich into Apple Shortcuts and Siri #12915
Conversation
|
Does android have an equivalent to this that we could also add? |
Unfortunately, I don’t know a native solution. The only thing I know that could work similar would be an integration for e.g. IFTTT. Maybe we could integrate something like that. |
|
The most native is probably App Actions built-in intents https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/appactions#0 in combination with Google Home Routines and Assistent Non native is Tasker https://tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginslibrary.html |
|
Would it also be possible to integrate Immich into Bixby Routines? |
|
I'd expect that those app actions/intents can be called by Tasker as well (and maybe by Bixby?) so that seems like the way to go. |
… to use URLSessionTasks on iOS for background sync
|
I think I see some general refactoring of the backup system - that might be better as a separate PR for ease of review. |
Sorry for the late response. Yeah, in the beginning, I just tried to figure out why the iOS shortcut wasn't doing anything (and thought it could be because of the synchronous execution). But that escalated quickly when I tried implementing iOS-specific URLSessionTasks for asynchronous uploads in the background. I am currently pretty limited in time but will do some more debugging and eventually revert or split off the backup refactoring. |
Description
This PR introduces iOS app intents to provide a trigger for background synchronization via the Shortcuts app or Siri. This feature was already requested in #11297
Currently, it's still in active development and does not work. The shortcut is already registered but needs further debugging.
How Has This Been Tested?
Coming soon.
