BarCut action leads to error for Shortcuts used on both iOS and macOS

BarCuts

Hi Carlo,

For Shortcuts that you’d like to run on both macOS and iOS/iPadOS, are you putting the BarCuts action in an IF statement (IF device model is Mac, THEN BarCuts) so that an error isn’t shown on iOS/iPadOS as a result of those platforms not understanding the action?

Thanks,

Aaron

Welcome to the forum, @aaljr! The answer is Yes. (I should probably release the docs & FAQs soon, I guess. :sweat_smile:)

Unfortunately, since BarCuts isn’t App Store compatible[1] I can’t release an iOS component to provide an iOS action which doesn’t do anything. :man_shrugging:t2:

  1. Keeping track of Shortcuts that way is both perfectly fine and likely to be rejected by Apple. ↩︎
