A few weeks ago, I used the support contact form for the popular iOS/iPadOS/macOS app Ulysses to send the following message:
Howdy folks! I've been looking into using Ulysses' URL Scheme and have not been able to find a current document on help.ulysses.app. I found the old page on the Web Archive - which is certainly enough for me as long as its information is still current - but I suppose I was wondering why it seems to have been unpublished?
The very prompt response:
Hi David, Thanks for your message. We have deprecated support for X-Callback URLs, since most actions should be available via Shortcuts. However, X-Callback still works in Ulysses. You can find the documentation for X-Callback in Ulysses in the attached zip file. May I ask why you are using X-Callback instead of Shortcuts? Are you missing any features? Thanks,
Götz Fabian

Unfortunately, I have yet to respond, but hopefully this finished post will provide a comprehensive answer, Gourd willing. Perhaps it 'twas a bit uncouth, but instead, I immediately published the entirety of what was sent as a GitHub Repository. As far as I can tell - though its creators may consider Ulysses' X-callback-url support deprecated - all of its (quite unique!) actions continue to function.
Though I now ruefully describe myself as an iPhone Poweruser, I have also spent the past several years realizing the severity of my lack of knowledge regarding automation on iPhone and iPad, specifically. An ongoing subscription to Club MacStories has certainly contributed to this, throughout a period of general newfound detail-oriented life.
