Does this support deep linking from search results?

Absolutely. It provides code examples for handling CSSearchableItemActionType in AppDelegate, SceneDelegate, and SwiftUI to navigate users directly to the relevant content.

Can I use this skill for SwiftUI applications?

Yes, the skill includes specific implementation patterns for SwiftUI, including the .userActivity modifier and handling activity continuations within the App structure.

Is there a performance impact for indexing large amounts of data?

The skill provides patterns for asynchronous and batch indexing to ensure that the search index remains updated without blocking the main thread or degrading app performance.

What is the difference between CoreSpotlight and NSUserActivity?

CoreSpotlight allows indexing all content at any time (proactive indexing), while NSUserActivity indexes content specifically as the user interacts with it, enabling features like Handoff and Siri Suggestions.
