I have followed the read me step by step.

xcode version:15+ tested on ios: 17+(actual device) and 15+(Emulator) Capacitor: 6 capacitor-plugin-siri-shorts version 6

Followed every step given in the read me file. however I could not see any new entry in shortcuts app.

I had used shortcuts.donate function. I could see its log.

I was able to make it work using present function. donate did not work for me. Is there an expectation that user will interact with the app before a shortcut is created using donate?

Also how can I pass some parameter from shortcut to my app. example: User says "launchphrase"+"some other text" Is there a way that short cut would open my app and pass the "some other text" to my app?

I tried to do it too but I couldn't succeed. Can you tell me how you did this?

Same problem,

Present() works, but not donate(). :/

any ideas ?

Your app must've called donate at least once before the related action can be found in the Shortcuts app (you might have to search for your app when creating a new shortcut). If everything has been configured correctly you should see the action in the list. It might take more donations until it shows app in some cases, I couldn't find out why this happens sometimes but it happened for me. Disclaimer: I did move all my apps to native tech a few years ago, so I did not use capacitor for a long time.

This is not possible with the implementation used by the plugin. What you want to use would require custom native code, which is different for every app/usecase. Therefore it is not possible to offer such a functionality in a generic plugin afaik. For such a functionality you would need to implement App Intents: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/creating-your-first-app-intent

What does everyone of you want to achieve with the donate function, maybe there is a misunderstanding here? To be clear, the donate function does not create a Shortcut directly. It only provides a single building block for the user to create a shortcut with.
