Dark Mode for Today Widget

Did you watch the video in WWDC18. There are detailed explanations on how to use dark mode.

Thanks,

I have no problem to migrate the main app to use the dark mode, the problem is only for the today widget.

We have the same issue. App works find in both dark/normal mode. Widget only works properly in normal mode and does not adapt to dark mode. We've added NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance to the Widget's Info.plist as explained in the documentation - but that didn't help either. We use the latest XCode/Mojave builds.

After migrated to Mojave beta 11 and XCode 10 GM, still same problem. @Apple, is it ready for us to submit the app to app store?

I'm still seeing this on 10.14 (18A389) and Xcode 10.0 GM (10A255). The widget simulator shows an incorrect dark mode version of the widget (some views are aqua, others are dark). And the widget displays in Aqua mode in Mojave, regardless of the OS theme chosen.

Hi,

I had the same problem, and after some attempts I've discovered that the source of the problem is a value inside the Info.plist of the extension's target.

Try to change the value from 2.0 to 3.0 at path:

NSExtension > NSExtensionAttributes > NSExtensionPointVersion

P.S. I've not find this operation documented somewhere on Apple sites and at this moment I've not tryied the widget on old versions of macOS

was just about to post the same - that worked for me, too.

Perfect! Thanks for posting this - it works great.

This also helped me, but with a different problem. My app widget looked great in the simulator (dark transparent background, but had a white, intransparent background in the real sidebar) Problem fixed, thanks a lot!
