Hey, I need to know the size of the widget in advance in order to create a proper UI for my widget. This works great by using the displaySize property provided by the TimelineProviderContext. However so far I did not find any way to get the widget size for my placeholder view. Since I don't have a provider, I have no TimelineProviderContext and thus no displaySize. Is there any way to know the widget size in the placeholder? Here is a code snippet where I would need to pass the widget size to the PlaceholderView view: struct MyWidget: Widget { public var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: myWidgetKind, provider: Provider(), placeholder: PlaceholderView()) { entry in WidgetEntryView(entry) } .configurationDisplayName("Display Name") .description("Description") .supportedFamilies([.systemSmall, .systemMedium]) } } Thanks in advance!

Anyone integrated #WidgetKit open actions with a Swift app? NSUserActivity doesn't contain the url? Info I have a Swift app with the AppDelegate as the main entry point (not a scene-based app). Has someone faced this issue? Thanks, P

is it possible one app contains multiple type of widgets?

I wonder if we can add a widget that only display upcoming campaign information or some advertisements. I've checked the HIG but it didn't say anything about that.

In ( https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10028/ ) it says "Widgets are not mini-apps" and "Rather than mini-apps filled with many little buttons". It also talks a lot about widgets being "glanceable". However, the Shortcuts Widget doesn't conform to this same advice. It has a lot of buttons you can tap to execute a shortcut. As a user I find the Shortcuts Widget extremely helpful. But I'm curious from a developer perspective why Apple seems to be setting a double standard in terms of the advice they give vs their own software. For some more concrete questions: How does the Shortcuts Widget (which is basically a bunch of buttons to execute shortcuts) conform to the advice given in that session about being "glanceable"? If it doesn't conform to that advice, why does it not? Is there something else developers should consider or think about here? Is the ability to have actionable buttons (like in the Shortcuts Widget) limited to Apple use only and hidden inside of a Private Framework? Or are 3rd party developers allowed to create experiences with buttons in their widget that can execute a given task?

Hi, Consider an app that has been shipping with a NotificationCenter widget for some time. Now with iOS 14, we want to replace that with a WidgetKit widget. But since we still support iOS 13, we have to ship with both NotificationCenter and WidgetKit widgets, otherwise our iOS 13 users will lose functionality. Would it be possible to somehow suppress the NotificationCenter widget on iOS 14, so that users that have upgraded don't get confused by the existence of both? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm working with WidgetKit and I have a very weird issue. I've added a WidgetExtension Target to my existing project, then without any modification of the widget view,I cannot see it on the home screen when running the extension scheme. I've created a new project from Xcode 11.5 then migrated to 12.0 to add the extension, and, a newly created project from Xcode 12.0 with an added extension after, and, both are working ... What it could means ? PBXProj corrupted ? Runtime Errors on the Container App ? Misconfiguration of the Widget ? Any helps would be appreciated =)

Hi, I have an app to display a realtime train arrivals. Users usually set their morning and evening stations for commutes and the app knows what info to display. A couple years ago I've added a widget and now pretty significant amount of my users just swipe right on the home screen to check their commute schedule. A typical user would check schedule around same time, may be about 1h window in the morning and 1h window in the evening. But even updating once in 3 minutes my be not enough. Update is a single and relatively small HTTP request. I can make it even a few times smaller to optimise for widget. I'm trying to find a solution so my users can still have a valuable information displayed in the widget, but from the session about new widgets and even after lab advice (was really good btw) - I struggle to find a solution at leas as good as the current one, Im not even trying to improve my users experience. Do you have any suggestion guys? PS: Current widget has 3 buttons which are useful, but I understand there is no way to have that. PPS: It will be really useful for developers who have apps with widgets and in a similar situation as me (eg. widget show real time info or based on user interaction) to know what is EOF for "old" widgets. Thanks.
