I am trying to create an automation that will anable to add transactions to my app and it’s using a shared shortcut and a quick automation on the user end. it works great on the iPhone but i couldn’t find any way to make it work on my Apple Watch… any help with that?

The AppIntent feature is available on tvOS since OS 16. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents I tried a real basic integration where I just want simply open a specific tab in my tabbar. But the perform action gets never called. Is it really possible already to use AppIntent on tvOS? Or is this feature still mostly targeted for mobile devices? Also, the documentaiton says so often something about shortcuts app and features, that are not available on tvOS, that I started doubting that the AppIntent is really usable on tvOS. If AppIntents are available and usable for tvOS, what could be wrong, so that I do not see the expected results?

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.

While I was creating a shortcut using the dictionary function I encountered a bug. When creating a new dictionary to store the date and some other stuff I set a value to the current date variable. I went to change the date format to one I preferred I was unable to access the submenu to do so. To figure out what was going on I did some testing and here is what I found: You can't access the submenu of any inserted variable This only happens in newly created dictionaries You can be fix the dictionary by simply closing and opening the shortcut This bug does not happen on Iphone How to make this bug happen: Open any shortcut Create a new dictionary Add a variable in the value field You can no longer access the sub menu to edit the variable.
