Using iOS 17.2. (no Beta) and the following code, I am still unable to use AppShortcuts in Siri, or in the Shortcuts app. The AppIntent is showing in the Shortcuts app, but the AppShortcut is not. I've tried cleaning the build folder, restarting the device, reinstalling both Shortcuts and my app, and even creating a blank project and trying it.

I'm sure there is something simple I am missing, can anyone see something wrong with this code? Is there some config I need to complete for this to work?

struct TestIntent: AppIntent {
    static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Test a basic intent"
    static var description =  IntentDescription("just another basic test intent")
    
    func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
        print("Test intent has been called")
        return .result(value: "Test intent was successful")
    }
}

struct TestAppShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider {
    static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] {
        AppShortcut(
            intent: TestIntent(),
            phrases: [
            "Test Add Point"
            ],
            shortTitle: "TEST THIS SHORTCUT",
            systemImageName: "money"
        )
    }
}

Try adding the applicationName to the phrases: "Test Add Point \(.applicationName)". This will add the shortcuts automagically, the downside being the user has to utter the app anme along with what you really want the user to say. Otherwise, in the Shortcuts app, tap All Actions, then tap add (+), tap Apps, scroll to find your app in the list and tap it, and there you should see your shortcut(s). Tap it to add it. HTH
