Apple delayed this app for almost two months, wonder what the developer had to remove to be accepted.
For all intents and purposes, we removed one thing: the Today View widget.

#42I don't see it called out in the app's marketing, but one of the neat possibilities of having a separate app on the home screen is that you should be able to launch a workflow through Siri. And I think that's very cool

Unfortunately you actually can't - Siri doesn't include web clips as apps it can launch. We're working on it.

Workflow guy here - you have nothing to worry about, we've been in contact with App Review for months.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ahh man, that would make the launch from home screen so much nicer. Bookmarking a data url is clever, but adds a good second to launch time.
The old (profile-based) version had the same restriction, actually! The data URL is the best solution we came up with.
Can you not create a home screen link directly to the app?
Well darn, it looks like you can't. That's crummy. I thought I could get clever with `history.pushState`, but that doesn't let you change the URL scheme without a security error. It looks like this is the best way to do it on iOS.

Lots and lots of Objective-C

#49There's video on the developer's website that provides somewhat of a demo. https://my.workflow.is
I don't see a video. Where is it? I'm using Chrome 39.0.2171.71 on Linux x64.
It was on our old site, and isn't on our new one:

Unfortunately you actually can't - Siri doesn't include web clips as apps it can launch. We're working on it.
UPDATE: I was able to get siri support by creating a contact called "Workflows" and adding the x-callback-url as a URL for the contact. I can say "Workflows" to Siri and she will show me a list of all my workflows, and I can select the one I want from a list.
The only tricky part was getting the x-callback-url out of the data: URL since the contacts app won't open data: urls. Yay!
PS. I LOVE this app so much. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
