Description It would be really cool if it was somehow possible to run a file inside a shortcut with, I guess, a similar return style as the built-in "Run JavaScript on Web Page" action The main benefit for me at least is that I would be able to write a single Rust program to clean URLs of tracking metadata and use it anywhere I guess maybe Actions could create a safari webpage and run it there? I've honestly got no idea how this could actually be implemented I just know it would be a MASSIVE help ~~One that I'm willing to offer a bounty for. $50 USD for just making it work, extra $20 for making HTTP requests not run into CORS (Yes I will still pay the $20 even if that part is "easy"). I prefer paypal but I'm flexible~~ Edit: Due to money issues, the bounty has been cancelled. Sorry.
Description Motivation I use several VPNs on my phone — corporate, personal, and general-purpose — and want to see at a glance which one is currently connected. It struck me that Live Activity would be a perfect solution for this. I thought about it for a bit and ended up vibe-coding a simple app that adds two Shortcuts actions: Show Live Activity and Hide Live Activity: https://github.com/maxvipon/vpn-status-cur I now use those actions inside the shortcuts that connect to different VPNs, so the current VPN status is always visible. It works surprisingly well, and it feels like the kind of thing that would be much more natural as part of Actions itself. Screenshots Action: Live Activity: Dynamic Island: Proposal Add two actions: 1. One to show a Live Activity, with custom labels for the Live Activity and the Dynamic Island separately, plus an optional color. Ideally, it would also support separate labels for the left and right sides of the Dynamic Island. 2. One to hide the currently shown Live Activity.

Action proposal: Allow individual Notification Actions to have a custom sound when tappedClosedIssue
Description The Create Notification Action action already supports URL to Open, which allows each individual action in a notification to respond to a tap. It would be useful if each Notification Action could additionally have an optional Sound / Custom Sound property — e.g. “Play Sound on Tap”. For example: • Task Completed → plays ding.aiff when tapped • Postpone → plays click.aiff • Error → plays error.aiff Having support for different audio file formats would be ideal — e.g. .aiff, .wav, .mp3, .m4a. The sound should be configured when creating the individual Notification Action, rather than applying to the entire notification. This would allow different buttons/actions within the same notification to provide different audio feedback when tapped. . Related suggestion: Adding .m4a as a supported audio file format for the Custom Sound option in the Show Notification action.
Encrypt: The request was denied by service delegate (SBMainWorkspace) for reason: UnspecifiedClosedIssue
Description Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Shortcuts on iOS 18.7.8, on Apple iPhone 13 mini. Actions (of an unknown) is installed. 2. Create a new shortcut. 3. Start Apple Guided Access (triple-click on the side button) 4. Guided Access options: allow side button, volume buttons, motion, software keyboards touch. I.e. unrestricted use within the Shortcuts app.(Guided Access allows time to program the script and refer to programming references without the screen locking) 5. Create a Text element. Add some text. 6. Create a "Set Variable" element. Set variable "Plaintext" to value of the previous Text element 7. Create a Text element. Add the value: "1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF" - i.e. 32 bytes of ASCII 8. Create a "Set Variable" element. Set variable "AES Key" to value of the previous Text element 9. Create an "Encrypt" element. Set the action to "Encrypt". Set the plaintext to variable "Plaintext". Set "with key" to variable "AES Key". 10. Create a "Set Variable" element. Set variable "Ciphertext" to value of the previous Encrypt element. 11. Create a "Alert" element, to display the Ciphertext variable. 12. Click "run" Expected result: 1. Encryption of the string and display of the ciphertext. Actual result: 1. Popup error: The request was denied by service delegate (SBMainWorkspace) for reason: Unspecified The request to open com.sindresorhus.Actions" failed. Workaround: 1. Exit from Guided Access 2. Press Play again Discussion** This seems obvious in hindsight, but while developing I was flummoxed that the error would only appear sometimes, and when it appeared it would be quite persistent. There is very little in the way of the error message to suggest the remedial action, and absence of good guidance for the SBMainWorkspace in a Google search. Along with the condition for a 32-byte key... this restriction could be included in the action's documentation. Or, future developers who have the same error may find their way to this issue record. macOS/iOS version 18.7.8 Shortcut URL _No response_
Description Is it possible to fetch the state of the Silence Unknown Caller function(s)? At the moment I use a Boolean helper in home assistant, passed to HomeKit to toggle along with this functionality, so I can fetch the status later in Shortcuts. I use this to dynamically populate items in a menu
