[Morriz]

iOS device model, version and app version

Model Name: iPhone 15, iPad Air 2022
Software Version: iPhone+iPad: 18.1 beta
App version: 2024.9.1 (2024)

Describe the bug
Since some time shortcuts on my iphone went buggy, and after deleting and recreating one I noticed that all HA actions that I published statically OR dynamically (in the companion app) are NOT visible in the Shortcuts app anymore, and selecting Home Assistant in Shortcuts crashes the app.

To Reproduce
Create a shortcut that triggers a HA action

Expected behavior
No crash, and HA actions to be selectable

Thanks for reporting, can you export your logs and send a screen recording? Submit it here: https://forms.gle/jX3HkCJTtpwNYEe67

Do you remember in which iOS and App version it started happening? Does it happens on your iPhone and iPad or only iPad?

[Morriz]

A screen recording is not going to show anything. When choosing actions from app "Home Assistant" the Shortcuts app immediately crashes. And that is an apple app, of which I don't know how to get the logs...

[Morriz]

And it happens on both, like I mentioned before in the versions section...

[bgoncal]

Please send the screen recording as requested and the logs from the Home Assistant App, shortcuts communicates with home assistant, perhaps there is something relevant from the logs.

Ok the crash looks entirely on Apple’s side, does it happens if you select other apps in shortcuts?
have you reported to Apple as well?

[Morriz]

I submitted the logs to the google form url. The videos I don't care about being seen here...

[Morriz]

I reported to Apple with the Feedback app, yes...

[Morriz]

Other apps are ok

[bgoncal]

I’ll let you know in case I find something useful, meanwhile try rebooting your devices, this sometimes works for widgets (not your case but behind the scenes is related)
Let me know if Apple replies

[Morriz]

Thanks. I already rebooted my devices but no help. I will update when I have feedback ;)

I am having the exact same problem on iPhone 15 pro max running iOS 18.0 (22A3354).

I noticed it after opening the Shortcuts app on MacOS, which synced stale versions of all my shortcuts, overwriting the more recent versions on my phone (and undeleting shortcuts that I had deleted months ago).

I don't think the two are necessarily related, just mentioning that because it is what prompted me to try editing a shortcut, which now instantly crashes when selecting Home Assistant. So I only know that Home Assistant Shortcuts worked before iOS 18 / Sequoia but not after.

Rebooting did cause an action to reappear in a widget stack, but did not fix the crash.

Update: it works fine on iPadOS 17.7 (21H16) on iPad Pro 11 inch M4. So for me this bug is specific to iOS 18. I can even create a shortcut that calls Hone Assistant on my iPad and it will sync to my iPhone and execute fine. I just can't create a shortcut with a Home Assistant action on iPhone / iOS 18.

Same issue here after upgrading to IOS 18.0

I am having the same issue on an iPhone SE (2020). I first noticed it after upgrading to iOS 18.

Same issue on iPhone 13 with iOS 18 and the Apple Watch with watchOS 11. The updates to iOS 18.0.1 and watchOS 11.0.1 didn't fix it unfortunately.

[fuomag9]

Same issue here as well, ios 18.1

This seems to be related and affects "Shortcuts" process after choosing "Home Assistant" actions:

Hi, same bug here. But in my case, reinstall the home assistant app fixed this issue...

This worked for me also.
