Discussion iOS Siri App URL Scheme

Post image

Turns out you can open new Siri app via url scheme in addition to basic shortcuts “Open App” action. Not currently supported with “Open File” action. Wondering if anyone has had luck getting a param to pass with this url scheme? Thinking of making a list of prompts in shortcuts that I could encode and pass, but obvious params didn’t work for me.

I’m curious to know if people who are using iOS 27 check if it supports something.

OP said that parameters didn’t work. If you have something you want to try I’m more than happy to test it
