Siri vocal commands just stop working on our iWatch app after iOS15 watchOS8 upgrade. Triggering manually the shortcut works on both iPhone and Watch. Vocal command work on iPhone.

I tried reinstalling, re-paring the watch, reinstalling commands app, reinstalling watch app. No way.

When "Hey Siri, execute My Command" I always got the answer: "There is a problem, please retry" (on the watch).

This started only after watchOS8 upgrade.

Other Siri vocal commands with other apps work correctly.

Any way to debug this?

We're having exactly same issue with the Shortcut for our app on watchOS 8. Activating our shortcut from the Shorcuts app on watchOS 8 works fine and activating it by voice still works on watchOS 7.

I originally reported the issue here and filed FB9541952 on August 20 as instructed by @edford. Unfortunately, I haven't received any follow up in that thread or in the bug report and the issue is still occurring in watchOS 8.2. I haven't tested the watchOS 8.3 beta yet myself, but another developer in the other thread says they're seeing the issue with their shortcut on watchOS 8.3 beta.
