Hello,
I have a question about App Intents and the Action button on iPhone.
I have an App Intent that opens the app and navigates to a specific entity, conforming to OpenIntent with a single AppEntity parameter. The entity conforms to EnumerableEntityQuery, and the intent is registered as an App Shortcut via the AppShortcutsProvider.
When assigning this shortcut to the Action button in Settings, the system doesn’t prompt the user to select a default entity upfront. Instead, it prompts on every activation, creating friction.
In contrast, shortcuts like “Open Note…” and other third-party ones prompt the user for a note to open when setting up the Action button, and its title also includes three dots, indicating a pre-configurable parameter. My shortcut’s title shows no dots.
What’s required to make an App Shortcut prompt for a default parameter during Action button setup?
Sincerely, Holger
