Thank you. I don't think this was an intended action. This is a nice workaround, however, I'm trying to understand if there is a way to "empty the cache" or set the quick action to nil so it doesn't trigger again.... Let me try this one in the meantime as a workaround.

I do see a problem tho... if the user does indeed want a quick action, when the app is in the background, he clicks on the quick action but the if !alreadyTriggered will prevent it from getting triggered....

Yeah, just tried it. It prevents from the quick action from being called when needed (if the app in the background).

More info, if I disable App Sandbox on the entitlements then it works like a charm. I tried Adding Outgoing Network Connection to the entitlements and re-enabling the App Sandbox, but again it doesn't work... What am I missing????

After trying to play with the different Sandbox entitlements I got to the point that while the app is open I can see it trying to connect to iCloud (running tcpdump), but somehow it doesn't refresh the list with the latest info. It does work perfectly when I run it via Xcode, but as I sign and deploy the app (production) it doesn't any more. Any one has any ideas? Yes, Incoming Connections and Outgoing Connections are ticked.
