PTT in the background, cannot activate Siri without unlocking

Hello,

We're interested in using the PTT Framework with our PTT capable hardware, as the framework has intended. The problem is activating Siri with any of our specified Intent's doesn't work when the phone is locked.

The iPhone always says "You'll have to unlock your iPhone first".

Reading up on the problem, it seems pretty common in the fact that Apple doesn't allow Siri Intents to be executed while the phone is locked.

It's a sensible precaution by default, but there are countless threads of real use cases that users want to use Siri without unlocking (with PTT, or well, without).

There appears to be no options for PTT to enable this, any flags on the Siri Intent to allow benign App actions or queries, user UI configuration through Settings -> Siri & Search to manually allow it even when the phone is locked. Neither are there any entitlements (that I'm aware of) that would allow trivial and non-secure Siri App Intents.

The only advice we have for our users (and albeit against the intention of the limitation in the first place) is to: Disable Auto Lock, Disable Face ID and to Disable Passcode.

It is in fact 2024, and users do expect a better experience than this with Siri, or am I missing something?
