We have recently added WidgetKit widgets to an existing product, and they've been working great on Macs using Big Sur and later. Recently, when installing a build on a Montery Mac, the widgets were no longer in Notification Center. After some trial and error, we discovered that if we build the project with Xcode 15.4, the widgets appear, but if we build with Xcode 16, the widgets vanish. This seems to happen on Macs running Big Sur or Monterey. The project is being built on Macs running Sonoma (both Apple Silicon and Intel). Is there a build setting in Xcode 16 that may have this effect?

在执行完 INIntent 或者AppIntent的Shortcuts后，刷新 WidgetKit桌面小组件

I had write a widget after iOS 17+, It had a Toggle to perform a appintent . When switch the toggle, the appintent will perfrom , just like ` func perfrom() async throws -> some IntentResult { // first let first = try await getFristValue() let second = try await getSecondValue(by: first) let third = try awiat getThirdValue(by: second) return .result() } ` and I found, it will work when I am debugging connect with Xcode. But, when I don't connect xcode, it will not work. How can I fixed it ?

not sure where to post this hence adding here. how to run in this full screen mode even when the screen is locked. As far as I looked, it’s only live activities that the developers are made available with. Is there a way to create our own UI on lockscreen, given a similar usecase exists?

How to execute code on main app when interacted with a live activity, given that they are already interactable. is there a way without opening the app? what are the best ways?

In the past it was possible to use the Today Extensions to do some background processing without having the unlock the phone. This was extremely useful for application, but now with the current WidgetKit we face the problem of sometimes having to enter the lock screen code if face Id fails, or is not available. With the Today Extension, we were able to initiate a location request and send an HTTP request. Is there any way to get a similar request chain across on the latest OS? Maybe there is something out of the box that we are not thinking of. Our application is highly time sensitive and in the field the lock screen delay can be a big problem and put a users safety at risk, so this is why I ask.

I want to add a widget to my app that will display the # of pickups the user has for the day. I have the DeviceActivityReport working in the main app but can't get it to display in the widget since it is not a supported view for widgets. Is there any workaround for getting this view to the widget? I tried converting the DeviceActivityReport view to a UI image thinking maybe that would be a way to use a widget approved view type but ImageRenderer seems to fail to render an image for the view (which is just a Text view). To summarize my questions: Is it possible to display a DeviceActivityReport in a widget? If so, what is the best practice? Is converting the DeviceActivityReport view into an image and displaying that in a widget an option? Here's my attempt to convert the DeviceActivityReport view into a UIImage: import SwiftUI import _DeviceActivity_SwiftUI struct PickupsDeviceActivityReport: View {     @State private var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .totalActivity     @State private var renderedImage = Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle")     @Environment(\.displayScale) var displayScale     var body: some View {         renderedImage             .onAppear { render() }             .onChange(of: context) {                 _ in render()             }     }     @MainActor func render() {         let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: DeviceActivityReport(context))         renderer.scale = displayScale         if let uiImage = renderer.uiImage {             renderedImage = Image(uiImage: uiImage)         }     } } Help is appreciated. Thank you.

After updating to watchOS 11.1, updates using WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() in WKRefreshBackgroundTask stopped working. When the background task is triggered, it gets data from the phone and updates the WidgetKit complications. But now the refresh call WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() does not update the complications.

Some of our users keep reporting that occasionally some widgets (which initially were working perfectly) are now broken and show only skeletons. Note that the app has multiple widgets, and this happens only to some of them (that is when some widgets get broken, some other widgets are still working normally). While developing the app, I came across this symptom as well, and when I read the device console, I found the following errors in the console (which the system was repeatedly reporting to the console): Unable to get connection interface: Error Domain=LNConnectionErrorDomain Code=1100 "Unable to locate com.example.app.MyAppntents for the com.apple.intents-service extension point" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to locate com.example.app.MyAppIntents for the com.apple.intents-service extension point} The affected widgets use the 'UserDefaults with groups' to read the data that is stored by the host app. And I think that sometimes the widget fails (or even crashes) while reading the data from the UserDefaults and it ends up showing the skeleton. The only remedy I found was Uninstall the app Reboot the device Install the app again. After this, the widget starts to work again.. So, what can be the reason behind this? Is this an iOS bug or what and how to fight it?
