To test Quick Action shortcuts on your 3d touch device you need to be able to access LaunchOptions on your will/didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method. If you are using Xcode's default settings you won't get what you need in LaunchOptions. The best way to fix that is to change the run scheme for your app.

Hold Option and press the play button. You will get window with some build options. Change Launch from "Automatically" to "Wait for executable to be launched"

After hitting run your app will be copied to the device and will not start debugging until you physically tap your app icon. You can now launch the app via your shortcuts and will get what you need in LaunchOptions.

ps. Be careful when committing this change. Could (Did) confuse co-workers.
