Shortcuts app is now in Beta

BlankStar said:
But since the shortcuts app is still limited, it might not use the really new links to Siri. Maybe newer version of the app will stop to work under iOS 11. Interesting stuff! Cool you found that!

Just checked release notes for Siri Shortcuts in TestFlight: will work on devices going back to iOS 9.

Also, was able to transfer a Shortcut from my iPad to my iPhone using the Files app. Didn't work at first, but now it does. Not sure why that would be, since its been the same build of Shortcuts all along.

I have access to the beta, but don't be sad the current release is an exact copy of workflow without new functionality. Cant wait to see the Homekit integration and auto sending of messages.

True but it would be fun to play around with and see how I can intergrate it with some apps I’m working on. I’m testing some apps that already intergrated with the shortcut app.

No codes to share. If you have Developer account, applied and were accepted, you can download from TestFlight.

I am aware, but that doesn't mean the (near) future won't have codes. When developers want their beta-testers to join in on the Shortcut-integration of their app.

The only other way to get to share this beta app to a non dev is to share your Apple ID with your password and login in iTunes and download TestFlight and your able to install it I tried that with some Beta Apps I’m testing for some games it worked I used my cousin iPhone X for a example logged out of his iTunes through setting and logged in to my account and downloaded TestFlight and open TestFlight all the beta apps that I was testing showed up and was able to install it on my cousin iPhone X without any issue but one thing is they once a new build comes out for the app I would have to log in back and do the same thing to update the app with the latest build.

Is having access to this app now really so critical as to share an AppleID and password?

i personally don’t think it’s worth it beside were close to release date and people can wait I’m a Apple Developer still haven’t got my invitation but I’m not that desperate to get the app. Beside that it wouldn’t be safe to share your AppleID and password since they can log in to the Dev account.

Workflow was the missing macOS' Automator app brought on iOS.
But as a 3rd-party, the devs were rather limited. Now sky is the limit. :apple:

Still anxiously waiting for shortcuts invite, was really hoping they’d send more out this Monday or Tuesday, but nope.
Anyone gotten an invite lately?

Going to guess that when next build comes out they’ll send more.
 
These two aren’t super useful, but they make me smile. One turns on the light and one turns it off.
