iOS 27 Simulator: “Describe a Shortcut” stuck on “Preparing support”

I'm trying to test the new “Describe a Shortcut” feature in iOS 27 using an iPhone 17 Simulator.

When I open Shortcuts and tap “Describe a Shortcut”, it stays on:

“Preparing support for describe a shortcut”

and the text field remains disabled. I cannot enter anything or create the shortcut.

My setup:

Mac: MacBook Pro macOS: 27 Xcode: 26.5 (17F42) Simulator: iPhone 17 iOS: 27

I also have a physical iPhone 14 Pro, but I understand that it doesn't support Apple Intelligence, so I'm trying to test this using the iPhone 17 Simulator.

Do I need to enable/download anything for Apple Intelligence on the Mac or Simulator? Or is “Describe a Shortcut” currently unsupported/not working in the iOS 27 Simulator?

Any guidance on the correct setup would be appreciated.
