Description
**iOS device model, version and app version**
Model Name: iPhone 15 Pro
Software Version: 26.5.2
App version: 2026.8.0
**Home Assistant Core Version**
2026.7.4
**Describe the bug**
Following latest update of companion app, all Apple shortcuts that include Home Assistant actions fail to run and show 'Unknown Actions' when shortcut is viewed/edited.
I can find the correct actions if I add a new one, but this will require quite a lot of rework to extract plists of all shortcuts that use HA actions, copy the data and re-add all these actions again.
**To Reproduce**
**Expected behavior**
**Screenshots**
This shows an existing shortcut after latest update:
Reviewing the plist info for this shortcut I see the correct info still exists here:
**Additional context**
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem in Apple Shortcuts using an existing shortcut with Home Assistant actions, then compare its plist data with a newly added action. Done means existing shortcuts load their Home Assistant actions instead of displaying “Unknown Action” after the companion app update.
