# init(type:localizedTitle:localizedSubtitle:icon:userInfo:)

Creates an immutable Home Screen dynamic quick action with user-visible title, icon, and user info dictionary.

## Declaration

```swift
init(type: String, localizedTitle: String, localizedSubtitle: String?, icon: UIApplicationShortcutIcon?, userInfo: [String : any NSSecureCoding]? = nil)
```

## Parameters

- `type`: The required, app-defined type of the Home Screen quick action.
- `localizedTitle`: The required, user-visible title of the Home Screen quick action.
- `localizedSubtitle`: The optional, user-visible subtitle of the Home Screen quick action.
- `icon`: The optional icon for the Home Screen quick action.
- `userInfo`: App-defined information about the Home Screen quick action, to be used by your app to implement the action. important: This method throws an exception if the value of this parameter isn’t property-list-encodable. For more information, see https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Archiving/Articles/serializing.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000952 in https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Archiving/Archiving.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000047i and see doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/PropertyListSerialization. One common, important use for this dictionary is to specify the version of your app. If a user installs an update for your app but hasn’t yet launched the update, pressing your Home Screen icon shows the dynamic quick actions for the previously-installed version. Including the app version in the userInfo dictionary lets you gracefully handle this scenario.

## Return Value

Return Value An immutable Home Screen dynamic quick action item with a user-visible title, optional subtitle, optional icon, and optional user info dictionary.
