Bug Report Environment 4× HomePod mini, audioOS 26.4 (23L243) iPhone, iPad, Mac – all running latest OS versions (iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26) iCloud account active, Shortcuts sync enabled on all devices Summary Siri no longer executes custom Shortcuts on any HomePod mini. Instead, the HomePod responds with built-in Siri answers or refers to the internet, as if no custom Shortcuts were registered. The same Shortcuts work correctly via Siri on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Reproducible Test Case Created a new Shortcut named "Lemon Blue Seven" from scratch – no resemblance to any built-in Siri command, single action: spoken text output. Result: Mac: recognized and executed correctly via Siri iPhone / iPad: recognized and executed correctly via Siri (after re-registration, see below) All 4 HomePod mini: not recognized – Siri responds as if the Shortcut does not exist Steps to Reproduce Create a new Shortcut with a unique name and a single spoken output action Ensure iCloud Shortcuts sync is active on all devices Invoke via Siri on HomePod mini: „Run [Shortcut name]" HomePod responds with a built-in Siri answer instead of executing the Shortcut Additional Observations The issue appeared without any user-initiated changes to the setup Deleting all Shortcuts and re-importing them manually caused Siri registration to also break on iPhone and iPad; this was resolved by disabling iCloud Shortcuts sync, restarting the devices, and re-enabling sync The HomePod issue persisted through this fix – suggesting the HomePod's Intent delegation is broken independently of the hub device's registration state When a Shortcut name resembles a built-in command (e.g. „What time is it?"), the HomePod executes the built-in command instead – confirming it does not consult the user's Shortcut registry at all Troubleshooting Already Performed Multiple HomePod restarts Full factory reset and re-setup of HomePod (multiple times, also tested with only one HomePod active) Voice recognition re-trained Personal Requests disabled and re-enabled iCloud Shortcuts sync disabled on all devices, devices restarted, sync re-enabled sequentially All Shortcuts deleted and manually re-imported Home Hub verified: Bathroom HomePod registered as Home Hub, status „Connected" Tested with a separate Home setup Contacted Apple Support – no resolution provided Expected Behavior Siri on HomePod mini recognizes and executes user-defined Shortcuts by name, as it did prior to this issue and as it continues to do on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Actual Behavior Siri on HomePod mini ignores user-defined Shortcuts entirely and falls back to built-in responses.

Hello everyone, Since the beginning of March, my sales figures in the Mac App Store have been dropping drastically, even though I haven't made any changes. The drop is between 80 and 90%. A large part of the sales went to China. Does anyone have an explanation?
