I'm getting widespread reports from users trialling iOS 17.6 public beta that Siri Shortcuts are failing whenever they enter any text that looks like a URL.
It's getting reported to me because my app happens to have an app intent with a string parameter which can contain a URL in some circumstances.
However it's easily reproducible outside of my app: just create a 2 line shortcut like the one below. If you change "This is some text" to "https://www.apple.com" the shortcut below will fail:
In iOS 17.5 entering "https://www.apple.com" works fine.
I've raised feedback on this (FB14206088) but can anyone confirm that this is indeed a bug and not some weird new feature of Shortcuts where the contents of a variable can somehow change the type of a variable?
It would be very, very bad if this were so.
