Hi,

I'm trying to create a Siri Shortcut that uses the current location. When the shortcut is ran via the Shortcuts app, it works fine. If I add it to Siri and ask Siri to run it, the "Get Location" action fails all the time.



Here is an example that reproduces it:

I tried other Shortcuts from the Gallery and all that use the current location seem to fail. Siri and Shortcuts do have access to the location services.


When run in the Shortcut app, the finds the geolocation

but when I run it using Siri, it completes without finding the geolocation:

Is that a known bug?

cheers
 
I didn't find anything about this on StackOverflow nor on Apple Dev forums ... it's strange. Other actions that require the geolocation such as ETA to get home seem to work fine
