Do INIntent subclasses really require iOS 12?

Question

When creating an Intents.intentdefinition file, the generated Intent subclass source defines the class as:

@available(iOS 12.0, macOS 10.16, watchOS 5.0, *) @available(tvOS, unavailable)
@objc(OrderSoupIntent)
public class OrderSoupIntent: INIntent {}

Why is the generated class iOS 12+ only? Can it be iOS 11+?

I can not see any issue on `Xcode 11.5`. Not sure about higher versions. — Kamran, Oct 03 '20 at 00:36
@Kamran In Xcode 11.5 what is the `@available` attribute that appears on your files? — Michael Ozeryansky, Oct 03 '20 at 04:02

I found that custom intents was introduced in iOS 12. While I couldn't find in the SiriKit documentation, here's the WWDC video introducing the feature: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/211

Siri Shortcuts are a powerful new feature in iOS 12 that allow your app to expose its functionality to Siri.
