So, I have a pretty complex Workflow I built that among other things gets an iTunes song ID, searches for that ID using the “Search iTunes Store” action, and adds it to a playlist.
However, recently it has stopped working with a really bizarre error. I get the product ID and it seems like a reasonable value (1418211925 for example) but then I get an error from Shortcuts that says “Expected 147875 to be of class NSNumber but got NSTaggedPointerString” (screenshot below). I believe the error is coming when trying to access dictionary value.
The number in the error does not match the value that is shown if I quick look the value returned either.
I have created a simple example automation that creates the error at this link:
Curious. The error only appears when searching by Product ID.
Keeping the same flow, but changing to ‘John’ and searching by name works fine.
I say it’s a bug in how the search is implemented, that it is sending the wrong GET request to the store and gets that error returned.
Just a guess, though.
Same error. I think @GraemeS has it right that the error is coming back via the API. I have never seen what is clearly an Objective-C error pop up before.
