Hello all – we’re currently experiencing a fairly major outage for iCloud links related to Shortcuts, and at the moment almost every shortcut that has been shared in the past cannot be installed.<\/p>

[…]<\/p>

This is still developing and, while it does seem like it’s possible to resolve<\/a>, I shared a thread<\/a> where I highlighted how major issues like this are eroding the larger trust in Shortcuts, especially outside the current community – this is a crisis moment for Shortcuts.<\/p>

I hope Apple is able to dedicate resources to fully overcoming the technical debt accrued inside the Shortcuts ecosystem, as well as restoring trust in the community – the people who are in this community and our ideas for how to use shortcuts are stronger than ever, but we’re constantly trying to stand on uneven ground.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

It would be cool if you could still add .shortcut files instead of fully relying on iCloud links.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I wrote this about Shortcuts and sharing in 2019. I’m just going to leave it here.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

This has been all over my Twitter timeline for hours, but Apple’s iCloud status webpage is still all green — everything is apparently just fine with Shortcuts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Juli Clover<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Apple has now fixed the problem, and links to Shortcuts on the web should be largely functional again.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
