Exciting hidden #ShortcutsApp actions are being found* this weekend!

For example, this #shortcut obtains the identifier of an action that you copy to the clipboard, which then can be used to detect if its app is installed in the device:

There are noticeable differences between the symbols (glyphs) available in the #ShortcutsApp depending on whether you’re using #iOS or #macOS 😬
Screenshot of the WinMerge app comparing two CSV files with symbol descriptions for the Shortcuts app in iOS and macOS. Differences are highlighted in yellow and orange. The macOS file has extra entries marked “;macOS only” such as Church, Flower, Wine Bottle, and Baby. Some lines also have extra notes, like "Person Ice Skating" described as "also Figure Ice Skating.” The order of sections differs too: for example, macOS places the “COMMERCE” section later. Both files share most entries, but the differences are significant and can cause confusion of users of both platforms. A side panel shows clusters of differences concentrated in the middle of the file.

From the 12 #bug reports about #Shortcuts I submitted in June, only FB18148105 ("Shortcuts: Can’t move the cursor normally when renaming a #shortcut") has been fully fixed. And FB18152978 ("Shortcuts: Errors using a triple tap while editing text") is only partially fixed.

This is awesome: a "WKRP in Cincinnati" fan created a three-hour Johnny Fever radio block, by using clips from the TV show and dropping in the full songs on his intros and outros, plus commercials and Les Nessman news breaks.

It's a bit disheartening to receive a “Works as currently designed” verdict on feedback report FB18152648: In #Shortcuts, the expression "min(99,100)" results in a "Math error", but "min(100,99)", "min(99,98)", and "min(98,99)" do not.

Demo #shortcut for easy access:
www.icloud.com/shortcuts/55...
Screenshot showing two panels side by side on an iPad. The left panel displays Apple Feedback Assistant report FB18152648 titled "Shortcuts: 'Math Error' when calculating the minimum of two integers". The report, submitted by Antonio Bueno on 17 June 2025, was closed with the resolution "Investigation complete – Works as currently designed." The report describes that the expression min(99,100) causes a “Math Error” in the Shortcuts app, while similar expressions do not. The right panel shows the Shortcuts app with a shortcut that contains a list of min(x,y) expressions, including min(99,100), and uses a "Repeat" and "Calculate" action. A system alert is shown saying: “Check the expression for math errors and spelling mistakes — Math error.”

In iOS 26, the clear icons would make more sense if they used each app's accent colour.

My mockup isn't perfect, but it's kind of what i mean. The clear variant has almost no utility?

I haven't used the _actual_ accent colours here. If i did, it'd be very blue.

#WWDC #iconDesign #Design #iOS26
A screenshot & mockup of coloured app icons on iOS. Calendar is red, Contacts is brown, Files is cyan, Fitness is light green, Health is pink, Maps is green, Messages is green, News is pink, Passwords is green, Photos is orange, Reminders is violet, Safari is cyan, Settings is grey, Shortcuts is purple, Wallet is off-white, Watch is black. A screenshot of clear app icons on iOS. All icons are clear.

Another iOS beta season, another attempt to get Apple to fix the iso8601 date time parser fixed in shortcuts. I think this is my fourth time filing this feedback?

Huh. We've reached a point where ChatGPT correctly recommends a-Shell as a tool to write iOS Shortcuts (good idea) but hallucinates commands and provides completely wrong tips on writing Shortcuts with a-Shell (bad idea).
