I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT.


So I was getting fussy with this not working. Turns out I was over thinking it. I would try to activate it while still in “settings”. However, it doesn’t work like that. You have to have a standalone app open prior to activation. So try it again but close “settings” (after toggling “guided access” and “accessibility shortcut” on) and open another app. Hope this helps at least one person
