How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here
I made a set of Siri Shortcuts in my app with the AppShortcutsProvider, and they each have a set of phrases.
I can activate the shortcuts via Siri phrases or Spotlight search on iOS 18+, but not on iOS -17.
I've checked the documentation and see that AppShortcutsProvider is supported from iOS 16+, so I don't understand why I can't view the shortcuts in Spotlight or activate them with Siri unless it's at least iOS 18.
Any thoughts?
Do you have your App Shortcuts localized with a string catalog, with a file named AppShortcuts.xcstrings?

At this point I am using a strings file and not a catalog, and it is called AppShortcuts.strings
Please give string catalogs a try, they are the recommended approach.

I have restrictions that prevent me from using String Catalogs at this point, and even if I could Xcode won't let me migrate Appshortcuts.strings unless the project supports a minimum of iOS 17.
