I know that the iOS Shortcut app has a ton of features, but that's a hell of a process just to get a simple file shortcut on the home screen. On Android, you simply 'long-press' on the target file , and then select 'Add to Home Screen'. Maybe iOS will add that simple feature (vs a long convoluted process) in future update.

Very handy! FYI, there is an easier way... I downloaded the .pdf to 'Notes' and from there could create a shortcut directly without having to use a file name/path, and could still use the '...' to add to the home screen. Btw, there's a cute icon of a syringe which seems perfect for the icon!

Thanks again Gary! Have had your shortcut on all my devices now since the day you published this. But what about a "Vaccine Passport" in iOS? Couldn't Apple bake something into the iOS Health App that takes our medical records (specifically vaccine records) along with the associated FHIR source data and use that to generate a scannable QR code in Wallet that could be used for travel, etc? Clearly this would require coordination of acceptance with different entities such as the EU, IATA, TSA etc, but since the US seems nowhere near ready to roll out anything "official", wouldn't this be a great opportunity for Apple to come to the "rescue" for those of us needing acceptable proof of vaccination beyond the easily counterfeited CDC card? 😳
@macmost

They could, but you are right in that it would require the cooperation of all states, countries, etc. Apple has the Wallet app that could handle this, so it is up the governments to do their part. My state (Colorado) has an official state app where you can access digital copies of your drivers license and vaccine records. You actually don't put them in the app yourself, you verify your identity and create an account and those documents are accessible then through the app.

I'm not sure I need this, but your points of keeping a scanned copy are well taken. Say, can you COPY that filename of the scan in Get Info and then PASTE it into your shortcut? This would be much more precise than just switching back and forth and trying to type it from memory. In a systems analysis class I was in decades ago they told us "once something is in machine-readable form, keep it in machine-readable form. This reduces the chance of introducing human error."

However Shortcuts could not find it, even when I saved the photo in Files, because it was not done exactly as described. Finally I upgraded to iOS 15, where Shortcuts has a few extra capabilities, and then it could find my .JPG file in Files. Now it works! Thank you, Gary!

@@macmost I tried that first. I had it saved in documents but it would not let me move it to Shortcuts. I had to be in Shortcuts when I scanned it to save it there. It wouldn’t work for me like it did for you on the video. Reading further down in the comments you mentioned that to someone. Thanks again. You have been a Godsend to me being new to both iPhone and Mac.

Is there a way to do this using a file on the iphone as I don't use any service like icloud or other. The phone does not have data . Again no service in the selection at all

You'll need to do it a different way then. Take a photo, then it will be in your Photos Library. Put it in an album by itself. Then you can create a shortcut that filters the photos to just the one in that album and use Quick Look to show it.

I'm stumped when I get to 2:48. There doesn't seem to be a "Get File" on my iPhone 12 running iOS 15. Has this been deleted or renamed since the video was published?

In iOS 15 it is simply "Get File From Folder."

@@macmost Thanks. When selecting that, though, the resulting screen looks completely different. I don't get the "Service: iCloud Drive" option, and so don't know how to proceed from there.

@@wdashwor Select Shortcuts as the folder. Then type the file name exactly, such as "Vax.jpg" or whatever it is.
