Description
**iOS device model, version and app version**
Model Name: iPhone 12
Software Version: 26.2.1
App version: 2026.1.1 (2026.1652)
**Home Assistant Core Version**
2026.1.2
**Describe the bug**
I want to create a Automation in the Apple Shortcuts app.
I select my trigger and when it asks for the actions, the HA app is not listed in the list of available actions.
When I create a normal sortcut in the app, it lists HA as an app that can do actions and I can select my desired actions there.
But not when creating an Automation.
**To Reproduce**
Create an Automation in the Apple Shortcuts app and then try to add a HA action.
**Expected behavior**
Can add HA actions when creating an automation.
**Screenshots**
**Additional context**
The very interesting thing is, that it's not only HA that is missing, other apps are missing as well.
I also already have an older automation with HA actions that still exists and works fine.
I just cannot add any new HA actions to any existing automation or any new automation.
I don't know if the existing automation is from before iOS 26, it might be.
I tried to google it and have tried:
- Offloading the shortcuts app and reinstalling it. I read that automation are not backed up so deleting it should be avoided (while on iOS 26.1 and again on 26.2.1).
- Offloading the HA app and reinstalling it (while on iOS 26.2.1)
- Restarting the phone (while on iOS 26.1).
- Updating from iOS 26.1 to 26.2.1
I don't even know if this is an HA bug or an Apple Shortcuts bug...
