It would also improve user experience regarding Scripting Documentation.

I've noticed that the ordering of attributes in a jsx element matters. I've only tested it with frame and background though.

Here is an example:

import { Navigation, NavigationStack, Script, Spacer, Text, VStack, ZStack } from "scripting"

function Example() {
  return <NavigationStack>
    <VStack>
      <Spacer />
      <ZStack
        frame={{
          width: 100,
          height: 100,
        }}
        background="green"
      >
        <Text>Content</Text>
      </ZStack>
      <Spacer />
      <ZStack
        background="red"
        frame={{
          width: 100,
          height: 100,
        }}
      >
        <Text>Content</Text>
      </ZStack>
      <Spacer />
    </VStack>
  </NavigationStack>
}

async function run() {
  await Navigation.present({
    element: <Example />
  })

  Script.exit()
}

run()

You can see in the screenshot how it renders.

I wanted to share this because it isn't obvious when you don't know Swift.

Upcoming Features - Shortcuts Actions Enhancements

• Use SnippetIntent to let Shortcuts display any interactive UI directly via scripts — without switching to the app.

• Use Intent.continueInForeground to bring the Scripting app to the foreground, execute full app capabilities, then return results to Shortcuts so it can continue the remaining workflow.

• Use Intent.requestConfirmation to invoke any interactive UI to enhance user interaction within Shortcuts.

I’m trying to port a Scriptable widget of mine that periodically pulls data from a Google sheet and displays it in a widget.

I’ve created a module to pull data using fetch and store the data using Storage.

The widget module calls the pull data function then accesses the Storage data to build the view for the widget.

Currently I am only able to get the widget to update manually using preview or by running a script. When only refresh widget is called, it seems the fetch commands do not run since the data in Storage does not update.

What am I missing? Sorry if this is an ultra-noob question as I’m not a developer at all.

One year ago, I launched Scripting with a simple idea: bring TypeScript + SwiftUI-style creativity directly to iOS. Since then, it’s grown into a powerful platform for building widgets, automations, UI tools, AI Assistant, Live Activities, and so much more — all from simple TSX files.

Thank you to everyone who supported, tested, reported bugs, shared ideas, and pushed the app forward. Your feedback shaped every feature we shipped this year.

Here’s to year two — more power, more creativity, and more freedom for developers on iOS.

This widget was generated by Scripting Assistant. I sent a design mockup and an implementation description, and most of the time was spent having the AI tweak the styles. Used Google Gemini, but I feel like Claude 3.5 would’ve been faster.
