How to signal errors / failures in iOS App Intents?

Viewed 15

the new AppIntents allow a simple code-driven implementation for Siri Shortcuts. In the perform() function we need to return some IntentResult or throw an error if something went wrong.

My question now is: How do I throw an error that can then be inspected by the user? Let's say the user wants to interact with a CoreData object that he has deleted earlier. Now he/she runs the shortcut and it must fail, because the object is not available. I tried to implement a custom LocalizedError, but in the Shortcuts app I only get an error message telling me something about an unknown error. The description text is not shown in Shortcuts.
