    *Closing ticket.* Verified fix in SDK version: 7.4.0.v20180829013317 and SDK Version: 7.5.0.v20180829030547 Able to use Siri shortcuts to trigger a User Activity in a application. *FR Passed (Test Steps):*

    Created a new Titanium application

    Added the code above in to the application

    Installed app on to the device

    On the device I went to the following location Settings/Siri & Search/

    Found the application I just created

    Pressed the + button to create a User Activity (Application is set up for a hello world test)

    Recorded a phrase for the available activity ('One' was used)

    Launched Siri and said One

    Siri was able to launch the user Activity in the application ('Hello world' popup was seen)
