Unable to add Siri capability in Xcode and apple developer centre too

Question

I did a lot of research but didn't got any help. I am unable to add capability of 'Siri' in xcode and can't see any option in my apple developer account too, I am asked to purchase the membership instead. By any chance is it possible to create an app in iTunesConnect without making the payment of USD99. I just want to learn some new stuffs like Siri integration, but to do so I need to add the capability in app from developer account and to add an app I have to get enrolled and pay $99. Even for learning purpose payment is required?

Answer 1

As Apple docs mentioned, you can use your free apple account to access certain app capabilities. Refer the below link for the supported capabilities for free.

For remaining capabilities, you need to have developer account membership paying USD 99.
