I created an iOS App Extension and defined a single entry INPlayMediaIntent in the extension's plist IntentsSupported array. Everything was fine. But since a few days (WWDC 2019) i have trouble submitting the app to TestFlight/App Store Connect.
I followed Apple's instructions and fixed these errors:
Now I'm trying to provide an intent parameter in the AppIntentVocabulary.plist here:
<dict>
<key>ParameterVocabularies</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>ParameterNames</key>
<array>
<string>INPlayMediaIntent.mediaItems</string>
</array>
I tried it with various strings and all were wrong according to these App Store emails:
ITMS-90626: Invalid Siri Support - "INPlayMediaIntent.mediaItems" is not a supported intent parameter of the subscribed intents
ITMS-90626: Invalid Siri Support - "INPlayMediaIntent.mediaContainer" is not a supported intent parameter of the subscribed intents
ITMS-90626: Invalid Siri Support - "INPlayMediaIntent.identifier" is not a supported intent parameter of the subscribed intents
What would be a valid parameter name for an INPlayMediaIntent?
It could be so easy because Apple has an example project for INPlayMediaIntent here which i used to learn for my project:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/media/playing_media_through_siri_shortcuts
But: This project seems not to be up to date since it is missing the AppIntentVocabulary.plist which seems to be required recently.

I want to give an answer to the actual question since the documentation is quite misleading in that regard. If it were correct then only "key path[s] for a property name from an intent class" would be allowed which doesn't make any sense for INPlayMediaIntent
s. To find the correct answer I watched Design high quality Siri media interactions and at 12:20 we can see a slide with a mapping from user vocabulary symbols (strongly typed) to the Strings to use in the AppIntentVocabulary.plist.
The general idea to check whether a key is supported is to go to INVocabularyStringType and check for the ones starting with the corresponding Siri domain (in this case media<SomeThing>
) and then use INPlayMediaIntent.someThing
for the ParameterNames
array in the plist.
In the Managing Audio with SiriKit sample code we can see an example using INPlayMediaIntent.playlistTitle
.

I contacted Apple's developer support and got this answer:
"You should be able to submit your app to AppstoreConnect without seeing these warnings. Please submit a complete bug report regarding this issue …"
I reverted my changes that tried to fix the initial error messages and my current build did not get warnings anymore.
Handling the intent works this way:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleIntent:(INIntent *)intent completionHandler:(void (^)(INIntentResponse * _Nonnull))completionHandler {
INPlayMediaIntent *mediaIntent = (INPlayMediaIntent *)intent;
INMediaItem *mediaItem = [mediaIntent.mediaItems firstObject];
NSString *myId = mediaItem.identifier;
INMediaItemType mediaType = mediaItem.type;
// play some media identified by myId and mediaType
INPlayMediaIntentResponse *response = [[INPlayMediaIntentResponse alloc] initWithCode:INPlayMediaIntentResponseCodeSuccess userActivity:nil];
completionHandler(response);
}
