Is it okay if an iOS app allows extra functionality using a Shortcut?
Hello, I'm building an utility app that performs various tasks. Some of the tasks require a small Shortcut to be installed. The app will invoke the main Shortcuts app when the installed shortcut is needed. My question is: Can I be rejected because some of the functionality is provided by the (untrusted) Shortcut downloaded via iCloud link? Bear in mind that the user has to: Have the Shortcuts app installed (most of people have it on their device already) Has to run at least one shortcut from the Gallery Has to enable untrusted shortcuts in the Settings app Has to download the helper-shortcut via iCloud link The app can operate without this shortcut, but with it... would perform some of the tasks so much better. All of these: iCloud shortcut sharing, the Shortcuts app are tools created and recommended by Apple. Still, I don't know if I'm allowed to use my app & a custom-coded-shortcut working together. I've seen other (approved) apps in the AppStore that use Shortcuts but I'm not sure if there's a specific rule that prohibits App & custom (untrusted) Shortcuts interoperability. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
