Creating Home Screen Icons
-
'Scuse me @omz could i have a detailed explanation on how to do this? When i open the shortcut it gives me:
the url could not be shown
-
Do you have the latest update installed (version 1.2, out today)? It only works with that.
-
Yeah but there's still a problem
Here are my steps1. Open the link 2. Type the name of one of my scripts in this case a default one (Zen) 3. Then rename the homescreen icon name to Zen 4. open it
This is where my error message pops up.
-
Hm, weird, as I said, it's pretty experimental, but it's been working for me. Will look into it.
-
Working for me too
-
Working no problem for me here with my scripts. Love this!
-
Sorry, not clear for me: where on Safari are "home screen bookmarks" to be found?
-
It should look like this (make sure to tap the "Create Shortcut" link first):

im still on ios 5.1.1 so that may be a problem
hope y'all can help me out in this muddle -
It should work on any iOS past like 3 or 4...
-
Does the shortcut need to be renamed to match the scripts name?
-
No it does not.
-
It does not work for me either. It is quite strange as it works perfectly fine if in run pythonista://MyScript? from safari
-
@pantazi: Using iOS 5 or 6? Do you get any error message?
-
5, have an old ipad. I get the same error as above
the url could not be shown -
These shortcuts seem to be broken on iOS 7.
-
yep it is broken on iOS 7
-
: ( Any chance this can get fixed?
-
I've looked into this, and it seems that it's no longer possible to make homescreen shortcuts that open non-web URLs (e.g.
pythonista://...
) on iOS 7, and I haven't found any workaround so far. I also tried creating a configuration profile with an embedded web clip, but that doesn't work either. -
I did it using a webclip in a profile (despite the fact that <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef/iPhoneConfigurationProfileRef.pdf">the documentation</a> says the URL needs to start with http or https).
