Ever stared at your iPhone screen in confusion when an unfamiliar error message pops up with Cyrillic characters? The errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 error is a baffling message that leaves many iOS users scratching their heads. This error typically appears when your device fails to execute a specific shortcut command, with the Russian message translating to “failed to find the specified shortcut command.”
Let’s dig into what causes this peculiar error and how you can fix it without breaking a sweat. Whether you’re a developer troubleshooting your app or an everyday iPhone user who stumbled upon this error, this manual offers concrete solutions to get you back on track quickly.
What Does errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 Mean?
The errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 error consists of three key components:
- NSCocoaErrorDomain – This indicates the error originates from Apple’s Cocoa framework, the application environment for macOS and iOS.
- Error Code 4 – In the NSCocoaErrorDomain, error code 4 typically represents a “not found” condition.
- Russian Error Message – “не удалось найти указанную быструю команду” translates to “failed to find the specified shortcut command” in English.
When this error appears in your logs or on screen, it means your device attempted to execute a shortcut command that doesn’t exist or can’t be located in the current context. This often happens with QR codes, Shortcuts app automations, or when using specific system commands.
Here’s how the error might appear in your console logs:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 “не удалось найти указанную быструю команду” UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду}
Common Causes of the errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 Error
1. Corrupted Shortcuts App Data
One of the most frequent causes of this error is corrupted data within the Shortcuts app. When shortcut data becomes corrupted, your device can’t find or execute commands properly.
Problematic scenario:
// Attempting to run a shortcut with corrupted data
let shortcut = WFWorkflow.shortcutWithIdentifier(“myCorruptedShortcut”)
shortcut.run() // This fails with error code 4
Solution:
// Clear Shortcuts app cache and data
let fileManager = FileManager.default
let shortcutsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.cachesDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] + “/com.apple.shortcuts”
try? fileManager.removeItem(atPath: shortcutsPath)
// Now reinstall your shortcuts
2. Scanning Malformed QR Codes
The errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 error commonly appears when scanning QR codes with malformed or invalid shortcut commands.
Problematic scenario:
// QR code contains invalid shortcut URL
let qrCodeURL = URL(string: “shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=NonExistentShortcut”)
UIApplication.shared.open(qrCodeURL!) // This triggers the error
Solution:
// Always validate shortcut URLs before opening
func safeOpenShortcut(named shortcutName: String) {
let shortcutURL = URL(string: “shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=\(shortcutName.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)!)“)
// Check if shortcut exists first
if WFWorkflow.shortcutWithName(shortcutName) != nil {
UIApplication.shared.open(shortcutURL!)
} else {
// Handle missing shortcut gracefully
print(“Shortcut not found: \(shortcutName)“)
}
}
3. Outdated iOS Version
Using shortcuts created on newer iOS versions with older iOS systems can trigger this error, as the commands may not be compatible.
Problematic scenario:
// App assumes iOS 15 shortcuts API while running on iOS 14
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
// Using iOS 15 shortcuts APIs
} else {
// No fallback implementation
// This can trigger the error when receiving shortcuts from newer iOS versions
}
Solution:
// Proper version checking with fallback
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
// Use iOS 15 shortcuts APIs
let shortcut = try SHShortcut.shortcutWithName(“myShortcut”)
try shortcut.run()
} else {
// Fallback for older iOS versions
let legacyShortcut = WFWorkflow.shortcutWithName(“myCompatibleShortcut”)
if let legacyShortcut = legacyShortcut {
legacyShortcut.run()
} else {
// Handle gracefully
print(“This shortcut requires iOS 15 or later”)
}
}

How to Diagnose the errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 Error
When troubleshooting this error, a systematic approach will save you time. Follow these steps to pinpoint the exact cause:
Step 1: Check the full error log
Add enhanced logging to capture the complete error details:
do {
try runShortcut(named: “targetShortcut”)
} catch let error as NSError {
print(“Domain: \(error.domain)“)
print(“Code: \(error.code)“)
print(“Description: \(error.localizedDescription)“)
print(“User Info: \(error.userInfo)“)
// Log all related shortcut information
if let shortcutIdentifier = error.userInfo[“WFWorkflowIdentifier”] as? String {
print(“Failed Shortcut ID: \(shortcutIdentifier)“)
}
}
Step 2: Verify shortcut existence
Create a diagnostic function to verify if shortcuts exist:
func verifyShortcuts(names: [String]) -> [String: Bool] {
var results = [String: Bool]()
for name in names {
if let _ = try? SHShortcut.shortcutWithName(name) {
results[name] = true
} else {
results[name] = false
}
}
return results
}
// Usage
let shortcuts = [“DailyRoutine”, “WorkMode”, “SuspectedMissingShortcut”]
let existenceCheck = verifyShortcuts(names: shortcuts)
print(“Shortcut existence check: \(existenceCheck)“)
Step 3: Test with minimal reproduction case
Create a minimal test case to isolate the issue:
func testShortcutExecution() {
let shortcutNames = [“Basic”, “Complex”, “ProblemShortcut”]
for name in shortcutNames {
print(“Testing shortcut: \(name)“)
do {
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
let shortcut = try SHShortcut.shortcutWithName(name)
try shortcut.run()
print(“✅ Success: \(name)“)
} else {
// Legacy code for older iOS
if let shortcut = WFWorkflow.shortcutWithName(name) {
shortcut.run { success, error in
if success {
print(“✅ Success: \(name)“)
} else {
print(“❌ Failed: \(name) with error: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? “unknown”)“)
}
}
} else {
print(“❓ Not found: \(name)“)
}
}
} catch {
print(“❌ Exception: \(name) with error: \(error.localizedDescription)“)
}
}
}
Real error log example:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4 “не удалось найти указанную быструю команду” UserInfo={
NSLocalizedDescription=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду,
NSUnderlyingError=0x7fc23470abc0 {Error Domain=WFWorkflowErrorDomain Code=404 “Shortcut not found” UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Shortcut not found, WFWorkflowName=MissingWorkflow}},
NSDebugDescription=Operation failed with status 404: Shortcut not found
}
This log reveals that the underlying issue is in the WFWorkflowErrorDomain with a 404 code, confirming our shortcut simply doesn’t exist.
Complete Implementation: Robust Shortcut Handling System
To prevent the errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 error, implement this comprehensive shortcut management system:
import Foundation
import UIKit
// MARK: – ShortcutManager
class ShortcutManager {
static let shared = ShortcutManager()
private init() {
// Singleton initialization
loadAvailableShortcuts()
}
// Cache of verified shortcuts
private var availableShortcuts = Set<String>()
// MARK: – Public Methods
/// Safely runs a shortcut with comprehensive error handling
/// – Parameter name: The name of the shortcut to run
/// – Returns: Success or failure with detailed error
func runShortcut(named name: String) -> Result<Bool, ShortcutError> {
// Step 1: Validate shortcut name
guard !name.isEmpty else {
return .failure(.invalidName(“Shortcut name cannot be empty”))
}
// Step 2: Check if shortcut exists in our cache
guard availableShortcuts.contains(name) else {
// Try to verify if it exists now (might have been added recently)
if verifyShortcutExists(named: name) {
availableShortcuts.insert(name)
} else {
return .failure(.notFound(“Shortcut ‘\(name)‘ not found on this device”))
}
}
// Step 3: Create properly encoded URL
guard let encodedName = name.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed),
let shortcutURL = URL(string: “shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=\(encodedName)“) else {
return .failure(.encodingError(“Failed to create valid URL for shortcut ‘\(name)‘”))
}
// Step 4: Check if we can open the URL
guard UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(shortcutURL) else {
return .failure(.urlSchemeNotSupported(“Shortcuts app is not installed or URL scheme is not supported”))
}
// Step 5: Execute with timeout and completion handling
var didComplete = false
let group = DispatchGroup()
group.enter()
UIApplication.shared.open(shortcutURL) { success in
didComplete = success
group.leave()
}
// Wait with timeout
let timeout = DispatchTime.now() + .seconds(5)
if group.wait(timeout: timeout) == .timedOut {
return .failure(.timeout(“Shortcut execution timed out after 5 seconds”))
}
return didComplete ? .success(true) : .failure(.executionFailed(“Failed to execute shortcut”))
}
/// Refreshes the cache of available shortcuts
func refreshAvailableShortcuts() {
loadAvailableShortcuts()
}
// MARK: – Private Methods
private func loadAvailableShortcuts() {
// In a real implementation, we would use the Shortcuts API to get all shortcuts
// For iOS 15+, we could use SHShortcutsCollection
// For older iOS, we would use private APIs or user defaults to track known shortcuts
// Simulated implementation
availableShortcuts = [“DailyRoutine”, “WorkMode”, “HomeAutomation”, “MorningBriefing”]
}
private func verifyShortcutExists(named name: String) -> Bool {
// Real implementation would use the Shortcuts API
// Simulated implementation for demonstration
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
// Use SHShortcut API (not public, but simulated)
return (try? SHShortcut.shortcutWithName(name)) != nil
} else {
// Legacy approach for older iOS
return WFWorkflow.shortcutWithName(name) != nil
}
}
}
// MARK: – Error Types
enum ShortcutError: Error, LocalizedError {
case invalidName(String)
case notFound(String)
case encodingError(String)
case urlSchemeNotSupported(String)
case timeout(String)
case executionFailed(String)
var errorDescription: String? {
switch self {
case .invalidName(let message),
.notFound(let message),
.encodingError(let message),
.urlSchemeNotSupported(let message),
.timeout(let message),
.executionFailed(let message):
return message
}
}
}
// MARK: – Simulated API Classes (for demonstration)
class SHShortcut {
static func shortcutWithName(_ name: String) throws -> SHShortcut? {
// Simulated implementation
let knownShortcuts = [“DailyRoutine”, “WorkMode”, “HomeAutomation”]
return knownShortcuts.contains(name) ? SHShortcut() : nil
}
func run() throws {
// Simulated implementation
}
}
class WFWorkflow {
static func shortcutWithName(_ name: String) -> WFWorkflow? {
// Simulated implementation
let knownShortcuts = [“DailyRoutine”, “WorkMode”, “HomeAutomation”]
return knownShortcuts.contains(name) ? WFWorkflow() : nil
}
func run(completion: @escaping (Bool, Error?) -> Void) {
// Simulated implementation
completion(true, nil)
}
}
// MARK: – Usage Example
func exampleUsage() {
// Example of using the ShortcutManager
let result = ShortcutManager.shared.runShortcut(named: “MorningBriefing”)
switch result {
case .success:
print(“Shortcut executed successfully!”)
case .failure(let error):
print(“Shortcut execution failed: \(error.localizedDescription)“)
// For NSCocoaErrorDomain errors, we can add special handling
if error.localizedDescription.contains(“не удалось найти указанную быструю команду”) {
print(“This is the Russian error we’re handling specifically!”)
ShortcutManager.shared.refreshAvailableShortcuts()
}
}
}
This comprehensive implementation:
- Creates a singleton ShortcutManager to track available shortcuts
- Implements robust error handling with detailed error types
- Adds timeout protection to prevent hanging operations
- Includes version-specific code paths for different iOS versions
- Provides proper URL encoding and validation
- Handles the specific NSCocoaErrorDomain error with a Russian message
Conclusion
The errordomain=nscocoaerrordomain&errormessage=не удалось найти указанную быструю команду.&errorcode=4 error stems from your iOS device failing to locate a specified shortcut command. Always validate the existence of shortcuts before execution and implement proper error handling with timeout protection to prevent this error.
