iOS 27 allows 3rd party shortcuts actions to run for longer than 30 seconds making me publish 2 actions that have been hidden behind feature flags for years.

Create cloud servers, run commands and destroy them again right from Shortcuts.

Video would have taken 107 seconds without edits.

Secure shellfish!

Hot take: it's criminal that Apple hasn't given you an obscene amount of money and/or a cushy job and incorporated the secure shellfish functionality into the OS. This makes the ipad into a usable computer and not a glorified oversized video game. I bought it day 1, but it should be built-in. Just sayin.

@tbortels Thank you so much for the kind words.

I think perhaps I’m too old and grumpy to work for anyone even if the employer was Apple and the job cushy. šŸ˜…

@palmin

Thank you for making my ipad actully useful.

They could just say "wow that's a good app, we'd like to include it with the OS. Here's a trunkload of cash, and we'll pay you more slightly-smaller trunkloads for updates. Deal?"

They won't. But they should.
