Hey - I know this post is months old, but would you mind telling me how you built the template text file? I keep getting errors I don’t understand. First with the API key - although I think I figured that out. Great shortcut. Was SO looking forward to putting it into use! Thanks so much for all the hard work!

Hello Rob! Very tricky shortcut! And very "teaching" also. U’R giving a new "meaning" to the iPad Pro. Really :) I bought the iPad Pro mainly for 2D digital painting and lightweight video editing, but now with this wonderful series you’re creating, I see my iPad Pro in a new light. A very bright light indeed :) Thank you very much for your professionalism.

This works exactly like Microsoft Flow, except Microsoft flow focuses on API inputs/outputs where this focuses on local app/module inputs/outputs. As a dev I’m not exactly sure who this functionality is for, but it is pretty cool. I think context-typing was definitely the right call.

Hey Rob, I know it’s not really your niche but could you make a video around your youtube setup please? I really like the quality and minimalism of your videos. Like what light kits you are using, what camera, which mic and do you use something to read your scripts? Maybe it’s easy for you because you’re English but I’m not English so I’d need to read my scripts time to time or at least check highlights to remember when I’m recording. Thank you 🙏🏻

Excellent. However as a software engineer (retired), it’s tough to grok this “programming language “. I struggled in the same way with the original HyperCard and AppleScript. It’s just so “off”. Not bad. Just off.

Off is exactly the right word. It’s different from what you’d naturally expect in subtle ways that make it... off!

@@seanohaimheirgin1047 Disagreed. Ruby, Python, Perl, even Excel Macros are all "scripting languages", but not nearly as obtuse as either iOS scripts or the old AppleScript. LISP? No problem. Prolog? No problem. But the awkward construction of "objects" and "attributes" and weird control flow of this is the sort of thing where I'd need to refer back to the reference manual for even the most simple operation like "declare a variable", "set a value", "get a value", "loop", "branch", etc.

Very good videos. I’m glad you are making the complex shortcut. There’s a lot of videos of teaching make a shortcut but is always making a easy shortcut. A person who wants to learn more there’s no videos. Your videos teaches. Can you make more videos like this? Only with the actions of the app? I have a list with the name A, B, C. I remember that between A and B I want to add a name. How I do that?

Click the Icon shown next to an Action’s Name in the Action Block and you’ll be presented with a drop down menu that allows you to Copy, Paste, Duplicate or Delete so that you don’t have to search for a action numerous times over.

Hi, and thanks. The reason i started watching that video is i’d like to knowhow the ToolBox Pro behaves while shortcut (ios shortcut) script is running. I really hope, that the toolbox pro’s window doesn’t show. And the toolbox pro’s window would not even be visible in the app switcher. And if the toolbox pro window appears while shortcut script is running, then i hope, that the toolbox pro closes itself automatically after the ios shortcut script has been completed. I’d really like to know exactly that. There are Usual type of questions i pay attention to.

Most of the actions in TBP run directly in shortcuts. However, some need more memory than a shortcut action is given, and need to open up TBP. The documentation for each action tells you the operating mode.
