Back in AppleScript or Apple Automator it is possible to convert workflows to a compiled read-only application.

Is it possible to hide, compile or convert my iOS Shortcuts workflow to a self-running service, too? So far I don't see any way to lock or prevent changes to my workflow.

  • I think this is a no (especially on iOS 12 and lower). Have you experimented with sharing a Shortcut iCloud link and then seeing if that link can be archived - recorded so you can go back to it if you delete the original or modify the original? Commented Jul 12, 2019 at 17:32
  • @bmike: I don't want to share or archive the workfow. Instead I would like to prevent any changes. Commented Jul 14, 2019 at 15:52
  • Not possible, so the best you can do is wipe it and reload t from code control outside iOS if you think it changed. Commented Jul 14, 2019 at 15:56

This isn’t possible. You would need to compile an app to import and run these “locked” scripts.

Xcode lets you install your own apps without needing a paid developer account.
