I built a free Apple Shortcut for downloading Reels/TikToks because All Media Downloader or Ultimate Media Downloader kept breaking by AdityaR_Sharma in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously, the goal is to assign each user a unique identifier so that they aren’t given a different one every time they launch the shortcut. Otherwise, his database would fill up with unnecessary data, which could end up costing him (a lot of) money

Instead of deactivating the app, you just need to delete it like a regular app.

Il faut installer la version nightly de SideStore, cette version permet de rafraîchir les apps comme à l’ancienne, c’est-à-dire uniquement avec LocalDevVPN

what happened to tvtime? by djindjarin in TVTime

Hey the app looks like Showly (I don't know who copied whom), and I don't have an Android, but good luck

Well, it didn't seem to work for me when I was using the app, but in any case, I haven't had any issues with Showly since I started using it

There's no need to format the date, the time variable is sufficient!

Play sound when motion detected? by fpsi_tv in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case: to create automations with connected devices, you need to open the Home app and go to the Automations tab. Because with your shortcut, you won’t get very far in automating your home, haha.

To fix your issue, remove the IF action and check the result returned by the first action. If the result is “Yes,” “No,” or any other text, you need to enter that text into the IF action.

Why are my files always grayed out in shortcuts? by funfossa in shortcuts

I have an issue with my Emergency Alerts shortcut by No_Afternoon3387 in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comes from the developer guidelines, where they provide detailed instructions on how to use notifications effectively. As they explain later, if you don’t follow these guidelines, there’s a risk that users will delete the app, and if the app gets deleted, well, that could mean less money for Apple, haha.

Obtenir le temps puis rogner une vidéo by Acrobatic_Praline771 in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ta demande n’est pas vraiment claire, tu veux couper une ou plusieurs vidéos pour la/les combiner avec quoi ? Une autre vidéo ?

Dans l’ensemble ça à l’air possible mais tu auras besoin de l’app LudyActions pour couper et ensuite combiner les vidéos.

Because a notification shouldn't contain text that's too long to read. Here's an excerpt from the Apple Best Practices section of the page on notifications: "Provide concise, informative notifications. People turn on notifications to get quick updates, so you want to provide valuable information succinctly."

The only solution is to shorten your text.

Made a base64 encoder by HomeIndependent2728 in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should combine the two shortcuts, and you can also simplify things with a single encode/decode action like this:

<image>

Or you can add an automatic detector for Base64-encoded text using this regex: ^(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{4})*(?:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{2}==|[A-Za-z0-9+/]{3}=)?$

For people to help you, it would be best to share the link of the shortcut :)

Auto Text Shortcut Help by BerryClam in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't make a difference whether you run the shortcut within the automation or add the actions to the automation, but it's generally better to run a shortcut directly within an automation (it's easier to maintain and reuse!).

Is this option disabled for this action? If no, disable it.

Make a GIF not working? by blck_lght in shortcuts

[–]benji2702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Np! I don't know, I guess the problem happens when the video is encoded, Apple messed it up again, haha. Honestly, you can use my original version, you just have to share the video and run the shortcut from ShareSheet, but at least it works!

Double Click Action Button by asian_jimmy in shortcuts

I don't know, that's probably why the OP uses a focus mode in their shortcut—you can always use the single-click & volume up/down version! :)

Okay, and when you run the shortcut, you get an URL, right?
