Description

Description

It would be really cool if it was somehow possible to run a .wasm file inside a shortcut with, I guess, a similar return style as the built-in "Run JavaScript on Web Page" action

The main benefit for me at least is that I would be able to write a single Rust program to clean URLs of tracking metadata and use it anywhere

I guess maybe Actions could create a safari webpage and run it there? I've honestly got no idea how this could actually be implemented I just know it would be a MASSIVE help

One that I'm willing to offer a bounty for. $50 USD for just making it work, extra $20 for making HTTP requests not run into CORS (Yes I will still pay the $20 even if that part is "easy"). I prefer paypal but I'm flexible

Edit: Due to money issues, the bounty has been cancelled. Sorry.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to execute WebAssembly (Wasm) files within Apple Shortcuts. This could involve using native code through Shortcuts' 'Run Script' action with JavaScriptCore, or possibly embedding a WebAssembly runtime like Wasmer in an external script. Start by examining existing Shortcuts that run JavaScript, then explore if WAT/Wasm can be parsed by JavaScriptCore. Alternatively, look into using a command line tool via 'Run Shell Script' action to run a Wasm interpreter like wasmtime. The goal is to output cleaned URL text back to Shortcuts.
