I mainly came across it while I was printing a QRcode to actually run a shortcut:// and while I see the file -> Airdrop as being useful you could at the end of the process deliver the same thing a QRcode to the shortcut you just developed no? Or am I missing something?

I don’t believe so, unfortunately. Regardless of what you use to trigger the Shortcut (a QR code, NFC, running it manually) the actual .shortcut file needs to be on the device so that it can actually be run. This means that you still need to find a way to import your generated .shortcut file onto your iOS device.

There is an ‘Allow Untrusted Shortcuts’ option in the Shortcuts section of the Settings app, but as far as I can tell this currently has no effect. Hopefully enabling that toggle will, in the future, allow the import of .shortcut files directly into the app.

I wonder if Apple disabled it accidentally. They still have documentation up on importing from a url: https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/import-a-shortcut-...

I really hope so. I've submitted a radar, but as of yet there's been no progress on it.

I've not explored importing a Shortcut from a URL to be honest, I may look into that later.

EDIT: That doesn't work either.
