siri shortcut button (INUIAddVoiceShortcutButton) shows wrong title when have multiple shortcuts (NSUserActivity)
Seems like its an IOS bug. I figured out a workaround for this problem. You have to create a new siri button every time the user add/edit the siri shortcut. Before creating siri button do the following things
1- Get all the voice shortcuts from INVoiceShortcutCenter
by calling the function. Note that this happens asynchronously, so you need to do it some time before you need the data (e.g. in your AppDelegate). You'll also need to re-load this whenever the user adds a Siri Shortcut (probably in the INUIAddVoiceShortcutViewControllerDelegate.addVoiceShortcutViewController(_:didFinishWith:error)
method).
INVoiceShortcutCenter.shared.getAllVoiceShortcuts { (voiceShortcutsFromCenter, error) in
guard let voiceShortcutsFromCenter = voiceShortcutsFromCenter else {
if let error = error as NSError? {
os_log("Failed to fetch voice shortcuts with error: %@", log: OSLog.default, type: .error, error)
}
return
}
self.voiceShortcuts = voiceShortcutsFromCenter
}
2- In View Controller-1 check if the shortcut is already added or not by iterating all the voice shortcuts
let voiceShorcut = voiceShortcuts.first { (voiceShortcut) -> Bool in
if let activity = voiceShortcut.shortcut.userActivity, activity.activityType == "com.activity.type1" {
return true
}
return false
}
3- If your voice shortcut is registered then pass the INShortcut
to siri button otherwise don't set it.
if voiceShorcut != nil {
let shortcut = INShortcut(userActivity: userActivity1)
siriButton.shortcut = shortcut
}
Do the same thing in Second View Controller.
It's iOS 12.0 bug. You can fix it by update INUIAddVoiceShortcutButton.voiceShortcut with correct value. Use KVO to observe "voiceShortcut" property and when it change assign correct value to it.
