In IOS 18.2 Beta 3 and earlier versions unfortunately it is not possible, to make shortcut use a variable to add a tag to a note. Whenever this is running it opens up the list of tags and asks for manual input instead of using the variable that is placed in the textfield of the apply tag command. Would be great if someone responsible could adjust that so it works. Thxs :-)

This message only to know your feeling on my project. Not to discuss what is feasible or not. Just on the interest of the functionality. I use 5 Focus profiles, Do Not Disturb, Holiday, Work, Personal and Sleep. I find that the native solutions for changing modes are not powerful enough. I'd like an app to configure automatically when each Focus profile should be activated. Eg : -Holiday : when holiday is found in my calendar -Work : when I'm not on holiday, when we are not on the weekend, and after 7ham but before 7pm. Personal : when I'm not on holiday when we are on the weekend of after 7pm -Dot Not Disturb: When I'm not in holiday, only on the working week when I have an event in my agenda with the status accepted". These are just some examples. the idea is that everything will be configurable. (my app is almost finished.) What do you think?

I'm curious if anyone else has figured out why an intent defined in the intents file never seems to appear in the Shortcuts app on MacOS. I'm following the steps outlined in "Meet Shortcuts for MacOS" from WWDC 2021. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10232 I build and run my app, launch Shortcuts, and the intent I defined refuses to show up! There's one caveat - I allowed Xcode to update to 16.1, and mysteriously the intent became available in Shortcuts.app. When I went to add a second intent, I see the same as above - it simply never shows up in Shortcuts.app. I have a few intents I'd like to write/add, but this build/test cycle is really slowing me down. This app is a completely fresh Swift-AppKit app, I've never archived it, so there shouldn't be more than one copy on disk. I have also cleaned the build folder, restarted Xcode, restarted Shortcuts, restarted my machine entirely... Anyone see this before and find a workaround? Any advice on how to give Shortcuts.app a kick in the rear to try and find my second intent?

I'm doing statistical formulas and need the keyboard shortcut of the symbol used to represent standard deviation (sigma), which should look like (σ). Everything online suggests using the keyboard shortcut for option + w, but when I use that shortcut I get, ∑ instead. I've tried searching OS settings and there doesn't seem to be a place to change or determine what is the proper keyboard shortcut. The keyboard shortcut for statistical mean (mu) is working, µ And greater than or equal to, ≥ And less than or equal to, ≤ are also working.

https://medium.com/@giulio.caggegi/use-app-intents-with-ios-16-90a341ccbc94 I create a demo according this article, and add the App Intents in Shortcuts App , then add a Scripting "Get text from xxx" , but the result is Empty, how could I modify the AppEntity or add which attribute, so the Scripting "Get text from xxx" can get text from the App Intents?

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on an App Intent for my iOS app, and I’ve encountered a frustrating issue related to how Siri prompts for a category selection. Here’s an overview of what I’m dealing with: extension Category: AppEntity, @unchecked Sendable { var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(name)") } static var typeDisplayRepresentation = TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Category") typealias DefaultQueryType = ShortcutsCategoryQuery static var defaultQuery: ShortcutsCategoryQuery = ShortcutsCategoryQuery() } struct ShortcutsCategoryQuery: EntityQuery { func entities(for identifiers: [String]) async throws -> [Category] { let context = await ModelContext(sharedModelContainer) let categories = try CategoryDataProvider(context: context).getItems() return categories.filter { identifiers.contains($0.id) } } func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [Category] { return try await suggestedEntities() } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Category] { let context = await ModelContext(sharedModelContainer) do { let categories = try CategoryDataProvider(context: context).getItems() if categories.isEmpty { print("No categories found.") } return categories.map { category in Category( id: category.id, name: category.name, stringSymbol: category.stringSymbol, symbol: category.symbol, stringColor: category.stringColor, color: category.color ) } } catch { print(error) return [] } } } The issue arises when I use Siri to invoke the intent. Siri correctly asks me to select a category but does not display any options unless I said something that Siri recognized, like "Casa(House) or Teste(Test)" in portuguese. Only then does it show the list of available categories. I would like the categories to appear immediately when Siri asks for a selection. I've already tried refining the ShortcutsCategoryQuery and debugging various parts of my code, but nothing seems to fix this behavior.

I keep seeing that there's a shortcut called "Add transaction" where whenever a card was tapped from apple wallet, you can add some automation. https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/shortcuts/apd65c67538a/7.0/ios/17.0 However, I cannot for the life of me find this option on my iphone 13 ios 17.6.1 All I can find when I go to the shortcuts app and search for transactions or apple wallet, I get 2 options to send/receive payments which isn't what I'm looking for. Did apple remove this shortcut??

Hello. I have NFC tags that I scan before walking my dog, that set off a list of shortcuts. The shortcuts have been failing the last couple of weeks but were fine before that. seems to be a problem with linking to starting a walk in apple watch workouts?! I have the latest iOS 18 public beta running (18.1) and watchOS 11.0.1

I want to create an Apple Shortcut that responds to text messages I receive while on vacation with an Out of the Office message. However, I want to exclude some people from getting this message, namely family and work colleagues. Does anyone know how to do this on iOS 18. I'm stuck on how to exclude contacts I don't want to send the message to. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hello, There is a new shortcut recently in iOS shortcuts called "Open [Pass or Card]". It looks to take in a [Pass or Card] type, however I'd like to program it with a shortcut to dynamically select a card, and I noticed it works with strings, such as "BofA Customized Cash Rewards". Would there be a list of possible strings for supported cards and/or passes that I could pass in for this shortcut?

I have encountered a problem about AppEntity and AppIntent shortcut. Here is what i have done. I created some shortcuts use AppShortcutsProvider. Each shortcut created by AppEntity. I search my app name in spotlight, so these shortcut can be shown in the spotlight. I don't click the shortcut and back to home screen. Then I delete these shortcuts by modify the Entity.defaultQuery and call AppShortcutsProvider.updateAppShortcutParameters() Going back to the spotlight, I can see my previous query and result. When I clicked the shortcut, I got an error WFBackgroundShortcutRunnerErrorDomain Should the spotlight result need to be refreshed when i come back to it?

The following code works perfectly fine in iOS 17, where I can retrieve the desired dependency value through @IntentParameterDependency as expected. However, in iOS 18, addTransaction always returns nil. struct CategoryEntityQuery: EntityStringQuery { @Dependency private var persistentController: PersistentController @IntentParameterDependency<AddTransactionIntent>( \.$categoryType ) var addTransaction func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func entities(for identifiers: [CategoryEnitity.ID]) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } } Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Any insights or potential workarounds would be greatly appreciated. iOS: 18.0 (22A3354) Xcode 16.0 (16A242d)

Was watching this latest WWDC 2023 video and had a question. I see about 17:20 in, they mention you can now put the shortcut provider in an app intent extension. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10103/ This works fine by itself and I can see all my shortcuts and use siri, but as soon as I try to call into the extension from the main app in order to trigger updateAppShortcutParameters() or any other code, I get a linker error. Am I doing something obvious wrong? Note, I called it a framework, but it Is just an extension. Cant figure out how I am supposed to be calling this method. Any help is greatly appreciated! https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/appshortcutsprovider/updateappshortcutparameters()?changes=_4_8 https://imgur.com/a/yDygSVJ
