I am implementing the live activity in my project, it is a timer live activity so I have to dismiss it after the time ends for the particular activity. so for that, I'm doing it like this : Task { await activity.end(dismissalPolicy: .after(Date().addingTimeInterval(TimeInterval(1 * time)))) } it is working fine for live activity but when I'm calling this method while creating the live activity my dynamic island is not visible. am I doing something wrong here or missing out something.

In my App I use Live Activities that are updated using Push Notifications. This works fine and the Live Activities show the correct data. BUT: The data I get with these Push Notifications contain a geo location (latitude and longitude). And for these I want to display two things: 1.) The address that I want to decode using "CLGeocoder" with function "reverseGeocodeLocation", but this function is async and I can't get the app to start any async function. 2.) I would like to display a small Map with a Pin for this location. I want to use "MKMapSnapshotter" for this. But here the same async problem :( So, is there a way to handle this? Perhaps I just use the wrong point to start the async function. I tried ".task{}" and ."onAppear{}" But both are not working :(

According to apple On devices that include an Always-On display, the system dims the screen to preserve battery life and renders Live Activities on the Lock Screen as if in Dark Mode. Use SwiftUI’s isLuminanceReduced environment value to detect reduced luminance on devices with an Always-On display and use images that look great for reduced luminance. But it seems to have no effect in live activities when displayed in the lock screen with AOD @Environment(\.isLuminanceReduced) var isLuminanceReduced Image("background1") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) .frame(height: 400) .offset(y:-40) .brightness(isLuminanceReduced ? -0.5 : 0)

Hello, I noticed that the layout of compact Dynamic Island on iOS 17 is incorrect. The edge of the circle shape is unable to be aligned with the edge of Dynamic Island. However, the layout in Xcode Preview is just perfect. And this is also the same layout on previous iOS 16: If you try to workaround the issue by adding an offset to the view, it will be cropped by a misaligned circle.

Is there a way to implement controls for background audio using ActivityKit like in the Apple Music application? I didn't found anything in your documentation about handling actions like this except deep links, but they're not suitable for this use case

Hi there, This is my first time posting here. I'm working on small projects on Swift and SwiftUI now and then. I'm currently trying to develop an application that gets some bus arrival data using API and displaying them with live activities. The thing is that I'm not quite sure how frequently updates work yet. Still trying to figure out if I can update the live activity everytime the data coming right from the API changes or use push notification updates each minute passing by, but that is another thread that I'm going to focus with more details. Everytime i'm trying to deploy my app on my iphone or a simulator this error keeps popping up and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? Let me know if you need any snippet of my code.

Is there any way a live activity could be started from a shortcut? The example live activities (ordering a ride share, viewing sports scores etc) are good fits for shortcuts and live activities but I'm not able to start a live activity from a shortcut using the new app intents framework. Is it possible to start a live activity from an app intent shortcut?

A have a few App intents that conforms to LiveActivityStartingIntent. If there are no active LA, then any of my intents can start live activity. But if there is at least one active LA then requesting LA returns an error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. Target is not foreground" Is there a limit to only 1 LA or I do something wrong?

Here you can see, we add Spacer in the bottom HStack, but the timer Text still expands and takes up all the horizontal space. There’s a discussion, but no one has the solution.

I'm implementing a Timer in my app and I want the countdown to show up as a Live Activity. It works, but I get a very weird expanding effect on the Text view. The screenshots below show the issue, I can't tell if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. My goal is to shrink the live activity black area so that it's a smaller, more reasonable size. There's no reason for it to be as large as it is on the trailing side. The Live Activity code (very basic):   } dynamicIsland: { context in        } compactTrailing: { // Important bit is here            Text(Date(), style: .timer)        }    } Which renders like this, with a lot of space after the timer: Adding a background color shows the view is expanding: Text(Date(), style: .timer)     .background(.red) And if I replace the timer with a standard text view, then no issue: Text("Hello")        .background(.red) Getting out of live activities and showing a standard timer view, there is no expansion issue: struct TestView: View {     var body: some View {         Text(Date(), style: .timer)             .background(.red)     } } So... I'm stumped. Any advice is appreciated.

Hello team, I'm looking for advice, please, about how to track updates to Activity.pushTokenUpdates and Activity.activityStateUpdates if my app isn't running. These two async sequences work great when my app is running, but that information is just as important if, for some reason, my app isn't running. In the WWDC video Update Live Activities with push notifications, the presenter says: when the system requests a new push token for an existing activity, your app will be given foreground runtime to handle it accordingly I was hoping that my app to be launched in the background... but I don't see how that would work unless there's a new call via the AppDelegate. Follow-up question... is there any documentation for the scenarios when a push token might be replaced for a live activity? Thank-you! Matthew

I just want to know what is maximum height of dynamic island(expanded). When I just go through the documentation, it is showing 160pt. Here is url: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/live-activities#Specifications But as I observed, some of applications have more than 160pt height of dynamic island (expanded). If this is possible, how we can increase height of dynamic island. Even if we go through figma library, it is also showing more height https://www.figma.com/file/YVWH9fn64y36***6jYdks5/Dynamic-Island-iPhone-14-(Community)?node-id=0%3A1&mode=dev

In session wwdc2023-10194 Design dynamic Live Activities at 04:53, it mentioned that we should use 'content replace transition' for animating in and out graphic elements and text. The video shows some kind of animation combined with blurring and opacity changes. But I can't seem to find code for doing this in SwiftUI or UIKit. Does anyone know the API to achieve this? 🤔 Thank you for your help!

I have created a live activity that supports both light and dark mode, and are using the isLuminanceReduced environment variable to display the dark mode version on the always on display for the iPhone 14 Pro. However it seems that this variable is not true when I switch to the Sleep Mode focus state. Even though the Lock Screen gets just as dark, it still shows the light mode version of the activity, which results text being very hard to read. Any idea on what to do to display the dark mode version here? Or a way to have text that looks good in both light and dark screens?

Hi, We have integrated LA in our app. We have noticed that sometimes LA won't update although APNs is giving 200. To debug this we have enabled LA along side push notifications. Noticed getting push notifications on time but LA is not updating. Not sure how to debug this? Is there anyone who has scaled LA successfully? Thanks

How do you animate in live activities? I've seen apps been able to update around 1 fps. For example with a character looping a dance animation. How is this done? I don't think you can call Activity.update() every second. Also it wouldn't run in the background all the time anyway? Here's an example of Apple's own WWDC video with a bar animating https://imgur.com/a/yywW7a8

I have a food delivery app similar to Uber Eat it was developed in Objective C now the requirement is to implement the Live activity for tracking the Active orders in live Activity. As i tried Live activity over the Swift it is working fine on all IOS Devices but when i implement that swift code into Objective C using all the standards by Bridging between Swift and Obj C copied the same code, There is no Error or Warning i am seeing in Live activity functionality in Objective C, but Live Activity UI can't seen on Lockscreen even i have checked in settings my app is showing that it supports Live Activity but no view. Can somebody help me out in that how to integrate live activity into Objective C project?

I have a history objective-c project, and now i want to use Live Acitivity feature in that objc project. first i implement a live activity in swift project, and it works well on iphone devices. then i copy same codes from swift project to objective-c project, build and run on same iphone device, no error or warning generates, but Live Activity UI can't seen. can someone tell me how to fix it ? and only swift project can support Live Activity ?

I used ProgressView to display a countdown progress bar in a Live Activity. However, I found that since iOS 16.2, ProgressView(timerInterval:countsDown:) does not update properly in the following situations. on Dynamic Island (either Expanded or CompactLeading/Trailing) on the Locked Screen, after the display is turned off (isLuminanceReduced == true) In these situations, the ProgressView for the countdown is always displayed at 100% and does not automatically update with the time. The problem only occurs in iOS 16.2. And it's confusing for users. Will it be fixed please?

Hey all, I was testing my app on my iPhone that just updated to 16.6. For some reason, when I request to show an Activity, the request goes through, tells me that my live activity is currently running (w/o any errors) yet won't show on the lock screen. When I tested on the Simulator, which is running 16.4, I am able to see the Live Activity perfectly fine. Has there been some change that would prevent me from seeing the Live Activity now?
