why do running shortcuts get stuck and then need reboot to resolve the showing of input screens

Running shortcuts getting stuck and requiring a reboot to resolve input screens can be a frustrating issue. While the specific cause isn't directly addressed in the provided context, there are some general debugging tips and techniques from the sessions that might help you diagnose and resolve such issues.

Relevant Sessions and Tips

1. Xcode Essentials:

   • Debugging Techniques: The session provides various debugging techniques that can be useful. For example, disabling and re-enabling breakpoints to isolate problematic code sections (Xcode essentials).
   • Running Without Building: Use Command-Control-R to run without building, which can save time when debugging (Xcode essentials).

2. What’s New in Xcode 16:

   • Thread Performance Checker: This tool can help identify performance issues that might be causing the shortcuts to get stuck. It surfaces runtime issues and pinpoints the exact line of code to focus on (What’s new in Xcode 16).

3. Bring Your App’s Core Features to Users with App Intents:

   • Parameter Summary and Query: This session discusses how to use parameter summaries and queries to make shortcuts more flexible and user-friendly. Ensuring that your shortcuts are well-configured might help avoid issues (Bring your app’s core features to users with App Intents).

Potential Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Isolate the Problem: Use breakpoints and debugging tools to isolate the specific part of the code where the shortcut gets stuck.
2. Check for Performance Issues: Use the thread performance checker to identify any performance bottlenecks that might be causing the shortcuts to hang.
3. Review Shortcut Configuration: Ensure that the shortcuts are properly configured and that any parameters or queries are correctly set up to avoid unnecessary friction.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be helpful to look for more specific guidance or updates from Apple regarding known issues with shortcuts in the latest software versions.
