Hi,

My app already has an widget, is it will be updated automatically or I need to recreate?

Thanks

WidgetKit widgets are fundamentally different than the NotificationCenter widgets. They have a completely different design (both in terms of interface design and technical) and cannot be automatically updated. There are a bunch of great sessions this week that are packed with great information, so definitely check them all out.

There's also a ton of helpful information in the Human Interface Guidelines for these new widgets: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/system-capabilities/widgets/

And technical reference material and articles: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit
