Not working on iOS 18

[valinet]

In typical Apple fashion, they broke something in the Shortcuts flow. Now, when run, the app simply displays “There was a problem running the shortcut” and a fully green wallpaper is set. Notification and everything else works as usual, though. That green wallpaper (actually red is 0, green is 132, and blue is 0 for whole image) hints to being a problem when saving the image file itself, and the image ends up all zeros in YCbCr color space, which when converted to rgb yields that green image. Can you take a look? Thanks

Yeah, “Set wallpaper” action is generally broken, bummer… nothing to be done, except waiting for Apple to fix it.

Interesting. What iOS version is this on? I would try swapping out the set wallpaper action for a save file or save image action to see if it also saves a green image. Then, I would try using the set wallpaper action in another more conventional shortcut. The code still returns the correct image on my end, I wonder what Apple could have done.

It’s on iOS 18 beta. Already did what you suggested, still green image. Basically, they broke the “Set wallpaper” action. Waiting for a fix from them, have filled an issue in the Feedback app.

Is there a fix for this issue? I’ve been facing the same problem since I switched to iOS18

Not that I am aware of, unfortunately. I've just checked and confirmed that this is an issue on Apple's part. Other users enrolled in the beta are experiencing the same problem. The best we can do is submit feedback via their portal and wait patiently for a fix.

Hi so in the newest apple update, I’m able to save the wallpaper and save it and even set it as a wallpaper, but the automation/shortcut doesn’t work. Is there any solution to this?

This is still the green image output from the iOS 18 beta, correct?

No there is an actual image from Bing. When I download it and save it, it’s able to download and I’m able to set it as the wallpaper. However the automation doesn’t work it shows an error.

Could you kindly screenshot the error so I can look into it? It's working on iOS 17 and I am not in the iOS beta program, but I can still make changes if need be. Also, don't forget about the automation setup with the number 0 being passed to the shortcut as input to prevent the menu from showing.

I recently updated to iOS 18 and automation started to fail to run this shortcut (it worked perfectly on iOS 17). Short seems to be allowed to run when device is locked, however it fails with that error. Feel free to request any additional info if needed - I'll be happy to help and diagnose it.
