Did anything come from the critical alerts talk with Apple? Looking at pushing high importance alerts for security during DND, etc.

With the release o iOS 12 today, is there any progress on the integration with Siri Shortcuts?
I am a developer but not really familiar with ios/swift, still available if help needed.
Thanks!
Meant to reply to this! I was told Apple lost most critical alert submissions and I was invited to reapply which I did the day you posted this comment. Will update when I know more!

Siri Shortcuts integration has been completed for a few weeks now. It’s release is being held up by the work to migrate to the new auth API which we are almost done with. Once that release is out the door, the iOS 12 release will follow shortly thereafter.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve locked in the Siri Shortcuts support. The iOS 12 version of the app will support the following:
Complete:
- Send Location
- Default behavior is send current location
- Check pasteboard for lat,long or address to geocode
- Call Service
- Allow setting just service name or service name + payload
- If no payload set use pasteboard contents
- Fire Event
- Allow setting event name or event name + payload
Still need to do:
- Get Entity state
- Put it on pasteboard
- Set Entity State
- Allow setting entity name + state object
- If no state object set use pasteboard contents
- Get image from camera proxy
- Put it on pasteboard

Thanks for your awesome work on this!
I just want to throw some feedback in now when your making changes.
Would it be possible to enhance the layout experience so we don’t have to waste so much space on static content like menus and options. Right now it takes up about a quarter of the screen.
One idea could be to hide to top part except the tabs when you scroll down and the same for the bottom options. That could maybe disappear completely or at least be made smaller.
Any chance on getting widget support so we can select a few switches to be added to a widget panel? It’s the only thing I miss from smart things. With a more recent phone it’s not that bad but still feels a bit clumsy. I think this would be a significant improvement. Well, I have iPhone 6s and when I face any issue. I was dial apple customer service number.
You can do this if you run HomeBridge/HomeKit. Their are a couple of HomeKit apps out there that support widgets. I run HomeBridge only for this reason and only for a couple of selected entities for easy access without unlocking the phone.
But I agree to have it natively in the Home Assistant app makes sense.
This along with other useful integrations might make a surprise appearance in the iOS 12 update, we’ll just have to wait and see

This would be really good… if I understand it correctly, there’s no other way the iPhone could give me notifications about security alerts while DND is set? For example Pushover couldn’t bypass the DND settings…?
Correct.
A new type of opt-in alert for important information, like reports from a healthcare provider, which you’ll receive even during Do Not Disturb.
Robbie,
Is there an update to the ios mobile app to work with the new authentication of HA .78? Or is this issue in someone’s else court? And hopefully I didn’t miss something I was supposed to do but I am getting an unauthorized error in HA and in the mobile app when entering either. (but then it lets me in fine for now)

FYI - I am on .78.3 and still accessing HA without any issue using the new user/pwd.

I don’t see a place in the mobile app to enter a username. It takes me to the config page of the mobile app each time I launch it on the iPhone and I have to hit Done to get out of it. It still works after doing that but I have to do it each time I launch the app. I thought I read somewhere (.78 release notes?) an update to the mobile app was needed and coming soon but I don’t see when that is.
Maybe I’m delusional, but I recall getting prompted for it on both my iPhone and my wife’s.

I get an error message every time too with .77/.78
I am getting the same thing @RandyA is getting. No place to put in my username/password, only a password. The version is 1.1.1 in iOS

my version is also 1.1.1
Initial connection on launch still uses the legacy HTTP password, but you’ll receive a second login screen if using the new auth. The new client will go straight to native user auth.
