## What this shortcut does

I often get the iOS update notification
one or two days
after its release, so I've created a shortcut that does it
instantly
.
The shortcut is very quick and simple, it breaks down version numbers into three components (major, minor, patch) and compares them individually. By filling in missing components with zeros (e.g. transforming "18.0" into "18.0.0"), it guarantees accurate comparisons for all version format variants.
Launch the shortcut once to configure permissions. It's best to run this shortcut automatically, everyday.
