Add Siri Shortcuts support to your iOS WebView app and open app content by voice.
Enable Siri integration by entering your plugin token in static let siriEnabled within Config.swift and adding the Siri capability to the WebViewGold target.

How to implement Siri functionality
- Create a JavaScript function that Siri should trigger:
function playRadio() {
// Add desired functionality
}
- Add a button or link to register the Siri command (avoid phrases like "Open" which may confuse Siri):
<a href="addtosiri://?command=Play%20Radio&jsFunction=playRadio()">Add Play Radio to Siri</a>
The command parameter provides the recommended phrase, while jsFunction specifies the JavaScript function to execute.
SDK-style implementation notes
Treat this feature as a native capability exposed to your web layer: keep your production website or PWA as the source of truth, then use the documented WebViewGold configuration flags, URL commands, and JavaScript bridge calls to opt in to native iOS behavior only where it adds value. This approach keeps your codebase maintainable because the same web application can serve browsers, WebViewGold for iOS, and the other WebViewGold platforms with minimal conditional logic.
For reliable results, prefer HTTPS endpoints, stable route names, explicit success/error states in your UI, and small JavaScript helper functions that wrap native calls. For example, a web app built with jQuery Mobile, Lovable, Base44, Bolt, WordPress, Bubble, a custom React/Vue/Angular stack, or static HTML can expose a single button or event handler that triggers the native WebViewGold API while still showing a graceful browser fallback.
- Recommended integration pattern: detect the app context, call the WebViewGold API, then update your web UI after the native callback or route change.
- Testing checklist: validate the feature on a real device or packaged build, verify permissions and store review text, and confirm that browser-only users still receive a useful fallback.
- SEO benefit: keep feature pages, route titles, and structured content indexable on your website while WebViewGold delivers the native app shell for iOS users.
