According to the Spotlight your app with App Shortcuts session (at 13:34) you need to add shortTitle and systemImageName to the AppShortcut that it appears in Spotlight.

AppShortcut(
    intent: ShowTopDonutsIntent(),
    phrases: [
        "\(.applicationName) Trends for \(\.$timeframe)"
    ],
    shortTitle: "Trends",
    systemImageName: "chart.line.uptrend.xyaxis"
)

In the session they also say:

Note that if I want the entity shown at the top level in Spotlight or Shortcuts, my entities need to have an image or symbol in the display representation.

Though, to be fair I couldn’t get it to work for AppEnums – only for AppEntities. See my questions for more details.
