I've been using iOS shortcuts in conjunction with my wake up alarm to trigger HA automations for quote a while, but since the iOS 26 software update they are failing (in the shortcuts app) with an error of "Could Not Run Fire Event An unknown error occurred" Anyone else seeing this?

I've tried recreating the shortcut from scratch and the behavior continues. Worked in previous versions of iOS for roughly 8 months.
I'll post some pictures following this.

If you expand the shortcut actions by tapping on the chevron, is your server correctly selected? Could you try selecting it again?

#

It is, yes. And the issue persists after clearing it and readding it

How is your internal and external URL setup?

deft lava
#

In ha?

#

Are you just wondering what urls I need to navigate to?

azure oasis
#

I am wondering if you are allowed to perform background operations or not, so I need to know:
1 - Do you have internal URL configured?
2 - Do you have external URL configured?
3 - If you have internal URL configured, whats your "connection security level"?
4 - Do you have location permission allowed for the app including "Always" and "Precise" toggles?

While in use = app not able to know your SSID which prevents the use of internal URL in Most Secure mode

#

You need location permission set to “Always” and “Precise”

I'll try that when I'm home, but I don't understand why it needs location permission to see the SSID, when the app otherwise works?

The app works because your location permission is set to “while in use”, so “while using” the app it works. In background it doesn’t

#

Apple requires location permission to access SSID

is this new Bruno? I'm asking because it's worked for months (until the ios26 update)

Around November, it’s when the “Connection security level” was introduced

#

Hm ok. Thanks Bruno. I’ll check it out in a few hours and report back

Well it fires without erroring in the shortcuts app but isn’t showing up in the trace. I can probably figure it out at this point. Thanks for your help!
