new way of exporting the shortcuts

I changed step 2 to reflect the solution in issue #217.
I also provided a new shortcut (url) with email capability

Why hasn't this been merged yet?, just found the project and ran directly into the issue

Is this something I should do, as the owner of the pull request? I’m sorry I’m not familiar with the procedure. René —/—

@rlb222 No need to apologize. No it's not up to you. this has to be done by someone with push-access to the repo. I'm just wondering why this hasn't been merged.

Thanks! And I’m wondering as well 🙂 now. René —/—

Yep! It's only my lack of diligence that's prevented this from being merged! I've not given the repo the care it deserves of late.

When I'm next with my laptop I'll get this merged in, that will be early next week.

You may also find some benefit in something like this:

• https://routinehub.co/shortcut/5256/

  • Shortcut Source Tool: View, convert, save source in plist or json, edit and import back to Shortcuts, review in browser

Looking a little closer at that shortcut, the main bit of functionality seems to basically be modifying the iCloud Share URL slightly:

Given a URL like this:

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ABC12

It becomes:

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/api/records/ABC123

Then extracts the following from the JSON on that page:

• the URL for the unsigned shortcut file (which is an 'Apple binary property list' file): fields -> shortcut -> value -> downloadURL
• the name of the shortcut workflow: fields -> name -> value

We can then convert that binary plist file to XML or JSON using plutil (though when I tried the JSON format I got an error (invalid object in plist for destination format), so might have to stick to XML):

plutil -convert xml1 -e plist.xml -- the-downloaded-shortcut.plist

or

plutil -convert json -e plist.json -- the-downloaded-shortcut.plist
