Apple Watch: Shortcuts not working

[pocketcasts]

There are two issues reported by a user (#4667298-zd). Creating this bug report to track the progress, even though we've also seen this and experienced the same on Apple's first-party apps.

Issue 1

They keep getting an Allow "shortcut name" to run actions from "(null)" confirmation.

Issue 2

Sleep timer action fails: "Could not run 'set sleep timer'. This action encountered a problem while running on your iPhone".

User notes that, on their phone, the Set Sleep Timer action causes the app to open. They’re wondering if this is connected to the shortcut failing in the watch.

I have a shortcut to resume playing and set the sleep timer but it fails when running from the watch. It works in other podcast apps but I can’t make it work here.

This is a good observation. Need to investigate along with https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/issues/32
