The shortcut will guide you through the entire process, so all you need to do is click ‘OK’ to continue, then wait a few seconds, and that’s it.
You’ll also be asked to grant your permission for this. This file, which weighs around 30 MB, will be downloaded directly from the MacStories CDN – the same service we use for our own images. Apple Frames needs access to this folder to save a single document called Frames.json. Here’s how this works: the first time you run Apple Frames 2.0, you’ll be asked to give it access to the ‘Shortcuts’ folder in iCloud Drive. Now, Apple Frames will prompt you to allow it to download a document upon installation containing all of the necessary graphics: Previous iterations of the Apple Frames shortcut were completely “self contained,” which means that the shortcut itself contained “all the graphical assets necessary to make it work.” With Apple Frames 2.0, Viticci has changed how the shortcut is installed in order to make it smaller, lighter, and more customizable.
This week, Viticci has debuted Apple Frames 2.0, a new version of the popular shortcut that has been completely rewritten to be faster and lighter, and add support for the latest iPhone 13, 24-inch iMac, and more. It’s designed to put screenshots inside physical device frames of Apple products, as you can see in the lead image of this story. Apple Frames is a shortcut that runs through Apple’s Shortcuts app. One of the shortcuts I use most often is the Apple Frames shortcut made by Federico Viticci at MacStories.
