Custom icons or background imagery for App Shortcut tiles in the Shortcuts app?

Hi — I’m trying to understand what customization is currently supported for App Shortcuts as they appear inside the Shortcuts app.

From the public App Intents APIs, it looks like an AppShortcut can specify a systemImageName, and an AppShortcutsProvider can specify a shortcutTileColor. I haven’t been able to find documentation for either of the following:

  • Using a custom app-provided icon/image asset instead of an SF Symbol
  • Using custom imagery or a background image for the App Shortcut tile itself

However, some Apple apps such as Music and Podcasts appear to use richer/custom artwork in their Shortcuts tiles, which made me wonder whether there is a supported API or approach that I’m missing.

Are custom icons or background images currently supported for App Shortcut tiles through public APIs? If not, are the richer treatments used by Apple Music/Podcasts based on system-only capabilities that aren’t currently available to third-party apps?

Thanks!
