I have an App Intent to allow users to "add an item", and I have an App Shortcut for it with phrases like: "Add an item to (.applicationName)", and "Using (.applicationName), add an item". This shortcut shows up in Spotlight and everything works from there.
However, when these phrases are used with Siri it always immediately asks:
"Do you want to use (my app name) or Notes?"
If I tap the phone to select my app then the shortcut continues and everything works from there.
However, if I speak my app name as the response and the phone is unlocked, then my app is opened and the shortcut is not continued! If I speak my app name and the phone is locked, then Siri informs me that I must unlock my phone to continue!
I have tried a variety of shortcut phrases for adding an item and all of them have this problem, and for most of them it happens every time. A phrase like "Add to (.applicationName)" works sometimes but still sporadically has the problem.
I have also implemented this within a sample app with a different name and the problem is exactly the same -- it is not related to my app name.
I don't believe that Siri should be asking for disambiguation on the app here because my app name is clearly in the request that Siri gets. Separately, why does Siri not continue the shortcut if the app name is spoken, but it does continue if the screen is tapped?
This problem prevents Siri from working hands-free with App Shortcuts.
