I would like to request the ability to group windows in mission control so that I can easily swap all windows between my 2 external monitors easily. Anyway to make swapping all windows between the displays easier would be a huge time saver. Making this an option in shortcuts would work as well.

I am working on an application design where I would like to have the Iphone running an app such as Apple Map, and while I might be driving in the car I would like to have my apple Watch invoke a screen shot of the current view of I map showing my location without having to use the iphone. So the Iphone would be active and in a car holder displaying my location on the map. Once I made my route point, such as a waypoint. I would like to press a button on my watch app to do a screen print. Second though is, could I press a button on my Apple Watch app to fire an request to my own IOS Application using WatchConnectivity to capture my Location to a data file. Third thought is could a press a button on my Apple Watch app to interact with an active app, which is an app like a reminder app and create a new Reminder Note in the active app in focus on my Iphone, but is not a component of my IPhone App. Thanks for any insight how I could make a Apple Watch app send Button Presses reliably to my Iphone Application active, so that I. could avoid having to touch my iPhone? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

My requirement is to execute this shortcut on the Apple Watch, where I input speech, and it's converted into text to be saved in the memo app. However, the shortcut doesn't function correctly on the Apple Watch, and I can't sync the content to the memo app. Suspecting an issue with synchronization, I added the current time along with my voice input, only to find that while the current time gets transferred, the text does not. I wondered if the problem was with voice input, so I tried switching to keyboard input, but the outcome remained unchanged. I have tested this issue on multiple Apple Watches and found the problem persists across all devices. Both my phone and iWatch are updated to the latest system versions. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d58d14627dbe450ead5e9217e1a68c27

Hi, Anyone can tell me where is stored the customized shortcut for dictation on macOS Sonoma? By mistake I customize one shortcut (it stores always the last one) and I want to restore the default shortcut dropdown list. From the image I want to delete "Command+F" and restore the dropdown list. Thank you. Regards FA

I have several AppEnum in my app and I can no longer succesfully get a value using requestValue / requestDisambiguation methods in when running an AppIntent. They all stopped working in iOS 17.4; The list of cases does show to the user but uppon selection it throws the following error: AppIntents.PerformIntentError.unsupportedValueType

The app's password conditions are not functioning properly. Upon entering the wrong password, the app still allows access. Additionally, when prompted for input upon opening the app, clicking the cancel button allows access without requiring the [password.

Hi, I would like to make a shortcut enter a keyboard short, CMD+m to be precise. Note that I dont want to run the shortcut when pressing CMD+m. The shortcut should press CMD+m, if that makes sense. Is javascript an option? How would the code look like?

I have a problem with shortcuts. I try to build a shortcut for recognizing some words and numbers in JPEG files. I noticed that if I select all the text in Preview app some words can be found that Shortcuts text extraction command cannot return. do you know if his is normal? Is it possible to use preview extraction in shortcuts ? Thanks

hello I'm almost finished creating the app but I'm just missing one feature. This is that when the user installs the installation when he opens application A it immediately redirects him to application B which will be mine on a specific page. Can you tell me how I can do this? There is an application that does exactly the same thing, it's 'one sec' my application is identical

My app has an AppIntent that returns a collection of AppEntity items. Using a shortcut with the repeat with each action to loop the entities, it prompts me multiple times to allow to share the entities (I select "Always Allow" on the first one, but it keeps asking over and over). All the prompts after the first one, shows an incorrect note saying something like: "Previously this shortcut was allowed to share 1 item with …" the count of items shared is always wrong, for example, if I initially selected "Always Allow" for 10 entities on the first prompt, the second says previously 1 item, the third prompt actually has the count right, saying 10 items, and then a fourth prompt (seems to be the last one) says something like 40 items Some more facts: This issue does not happen for example when I fetch entities from a system based intent, like get calendar events. It correctly only prompt for my permission once My app is already on the app store

I have an Intents definition file for a Custom Intent that I want to convert to an AppIntent. The Custom Intent has the checkbox "Configurable in Shortcuts" not checked and therefore the "Convert to App Intent" Button is greyed out. I can however still do a conversion using the Menu-Item "Editor"->"Convert to App Intent". The intent has a number of parameters that are not configurable, but were set in code. This way it was possible to donate shortcuts with the parameters (and even the title) set in code. The automatic conversion using the menu item however produces a result that does not match the legacy Custom Intent (Parameters appear in the Shortcuts App etc). I also did not find any way to create AppIntents that have parameters that can be set in code, before the intent is donated. I would leave the old legacy Custom Intents as they are, but as soon as make use of any of the new iOS 16 Shortcut features (App Shortcuts) the existing donated Custom Intents disappear in the Shortcuts App. Given the apparent inability to convert them into AppIntents due to the missing code-set parameters, I would be happy for any advice on potential solutions.

I’ve searched all over, posted to Reddit and Discord and forums and…. I can’t seem to get an answer. I don’t understand why this is so difficult!! It has to be doable, isn’t it?

Hello, I wanted to create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app, which includes QuickTime's Screen recording, however I only see the Screenshot option (screen photo) there. Is there any way (maybe using AppleScript) to include Screen recording (only defined area, not the entire screen) in the Shortcuts app, so I can do furter edits to the given video? Thank you for your help.

Adding the AppIntent of my app as AppShortcuts to the Shortcuts Apps was easy. This only required an AppShortcutsProvider. However, I am confused how the AppShortcuts are shown in the Shortcuts App. It seems that there are different styles enter image The AppShortcuts of some apps are shown as tiles While shortcuts from other apps are shown as collection of circle icons Some "circle collection" use a default gray background with blue icons Others color or even gradient backgrounds with white icons The only thing I found that might be related to the design is the shortcutTileColor property in the AppShortcutsProvider. However using/changing this property has no effect on how my app's shortcus are shown: On the default gray background / blue icon. Among the different apps on my devices I cannot see any logic which shortcuts are shown as tiles and which as circle icons. Additionally third party apps use colored background or gradients. So there there has to be a way to change this. But how?

AppIntens can be used as actions when working with Shortcut Automation. iOS offers a bunch of different triggers to start an automation, such as "Time of Day", "Email", "Transaction", etc. Depending on the trigger one can then pass different "Shortcut input" values as parameters to the App Intent. While in many cases the expected type is quite obvious, this is not always the case. An Email type input for example offers Subject, Sender, Recipients, Attachments, Content, Name. Subject will be most likely a String. But is Sender also a String or maybe an IntentPerson? Is Recipients a String (e.g. comma separated) or a collection? Is Attachments a [String], [URL] or [IntentFile]? How to I find out of which types these inputs have? Is there a better way than guessing and trial and error? The documentation provides very little information about supported types in general and I could find nothing about the types used by different triggers. Additionally each "Shortcut input" offers it self as parameter. So the Email type input does not only offer Subject, Sender, etc. as input parameters but also Email. What parameter type does an intent need no accept in order to receive on Email object? Thank you very much for your help.

The Shortcuts app offers the possibility to trigger shortcuts/intends when a wallet credit card is used and a new transaction is created. I would like to add transaction details to one of my apps and use such a shortcut for it. Other apps do the exact same thing, so this should not be a problem. Adding a shortcut to my app was not a big deal. However, how can this be tested on simulator? When trying to add a new automatization in the Shortcuts app using a wallet transaction as trigger I cannot finish the setup dialog since the Next button is disabled. I assume this is because no card is configured. When trying to add a card in Wallet I just receive that this was not successful. I have connected the simulator to a Sandbox Apple ID account using a region which supports Apple Pay (US). Using a real account does not solve the problem. Any idea how to get this working? Using real transaction within a store could obviously not be the solution for debugging.

I'm looking for documentation on the Shortcuts actions that Apple makes available for their built-in apps. Does anyone know where I can find it or do I have to manually (or programmatically) compile a document myself?

Hello guys Im searching a way to create, or to use an existent shortcut to limit timetables for certain applications. My goal is not to limit the daily maximum time for using an application. An example: my Iphone would not permit me to use tiktok from 6.00 AM to 8.00 AM Thank you in advance

HI... I use iPhone shortcuts to send http commands to my home automation system. I would like to know if it was possible to use them bidirectionally, in the sense that it is my home automation system that sends the http commands to the iPhone, and consequently with the quick commands I can create all the scenarios I want. thank,luca.

I am trying to set the background colour of my app shortcut platter for the visionOS version using NSAppIconComplementingColorNames but it doesn’t take effect when I check the shortcuts app. I see the built in Music Recognition app has a background colour but I am unable to set one for my app. Please note that this feature is working correctly on iOS. But on visionOS it has no effect and returns a plain background. I am using Xcode 15.3 beta 2 and running the visionOS 1.1 simulator. Sample code from Info.plist: <key>CFBundleIcons</key> <dict> <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key> <dict> <key>NSAppIconComplementingColorNames</key> <array> <string>SMGreen</string> <string>DarkGreen</string> </array> </dict> </dict> Feedback ID: FB13595442
