There are two ways to update a Live Activity:

  • Programmatically

  • Using a push notification

I presume you’re interested in the first case. In order to do that, the code in your app has to be running. iOS puts strict limits on when your code is allowed to run in the background. I talk about this in iOS Background Execution Limits. I suggest you read that first and then come back here if you have follow-up questions.
