react-native-siri-shortcut: Not working with Scenes

I’ve had to convert my AppDelegate to Swift, because my radio station app uses react-native-carplay, which now requires use of iOS Scenes which in turns requires a Swift AppDelegate.

Everything is working fine except for react-native-siri-shortcut (it was working fine before this).

I can add a shortcut still, but when I say “Hey Siri, play [name of station]” - the app opens, but getInitialShortcut returns null. Same goes for using addShortcutListener while the app is open - the event is never triggered.

Here’s what AppDelegate.swift looks like. I used Swiftify to convert react-native-siri-shortcut’s bit (and others) to Swift.

import UIKit
import CarPlay
import React

...

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, RCTBridgeDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {

  var window: UIWindow?
  var bridge: RCTBridge?;
  var rootView: RCTRootView?;

  static var shared: AppDelegate { return UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate }

  func sourceURL(for bridge: RCTBridge!) -> URL! {
    #if DEBUG
    return RCTBundleURLProvider.sharedSettings().jsBundleURL(forBundleRoot: "index");
    #else
    return Bundle.main.url(forResource:"main", withExtension:"jsbundle")
    #endif
  }

  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    
    ...
    
    self.bridge = RCTBridge(delegate: self, launchOptions: launchOptions)

    let rootView = RCTRootView(bridge: self.bridge!, moduleName: "aiirmobile", initialProperties: nil)
    
    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
        rootView.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemBackground
    } else {
        rootView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
    }
    
    self.rootView = rootView

    ...

    return true
  }

  func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration {
    if (connectingSceneSession.role == UISceneSession.Role.carTemplateApplication) {
      let scene =  UISceneConfiguration(name: "CarPlay", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role)
      scene.delegateClass = CarSceneDelegate.self
      return scene
    } else {
      let scene =  UISceneConfiguration(name: "Phone", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role)
      scene.delegateClass = PhoneSceneDelegate.self
      return scene
    }
  }

  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didDiscardSceneSessions sceneSessions: Set<UISceneSession>) {
  }

  ...

  // Added for react-native-siri-shortcut
  func application(
      _ application: UIApplication,
      continue userActivity: NSUserActivity,
      restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void
  ) -> Bool {
      return RNSSSiriShortcuts.application(application, continue: userActivity, restorationHandler: restorationHandler)
  }
}

Then in myapp-Bridging-Header.h I have:

#import <React/RCTBridge.h>
#import <React/RCTRootView.h>
#import <React/RCTBundleURLProvider.h>
#import <React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h>

#import <RNSiriShortcuts/RNSiriShortcuts.h>
#import "RNCarPlay.h"

Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
