How to add buttons to NowPlayingView of Apple Watch using SwiftUI

Question

The NowPlayingView is a structure. We can use it like:

Code Block NowPlayingView()

According to Apples documentation

Don’t add any other elements to the view.

We, developer can not add anything to the view.

But the Apple Music and Podcast's NowPlayingView are different.

So I want to know if there any chance we can customize the NowPlayingView.

Answer 1

You cannot. As you noted, the NowPlayingView() is a single component, available to developers as a convenience. You can, of course, construct your own custom now playing view with custom controls, as many apps (e.g., Overcast, Pandora, Spotify) have done.
