Ммм… Можно запускать #LiveActivity, когда пользователь открывает игру и в ней отображать достижения, которые он получает, а также время текущей сессии и в конце подведение итогов. Единственная проблема, которую пока я вижу это количество запросов: API #Steam не позволит мне обращаться к нему на протяжении всего того времени, сколько идёт игровая сессия (а если позволит, то я очень быстро израсходую лимит запросов), а это может быть 6 часов, 8 часов и это даже не предел…
Короче, надо думать.

Что можно такого интересного придумать для #SweamKit, чтобы задействовать #LiveActivity? :thaenkin: :thaenkin: :thaenkin: У меня нет идей 😾

In a #LiveActivity widget, it seems a subview is always re rendered even if the content doesn't change.

Normal?

This breaks my timer animation because I update the content regularly in the background. In an app, if the date variable doesn't change, the View is not re rendered.

cc @_Davidsmith you have this kind of Text timer + background location services in your app iirc. Have you faced this?

Maintain a consistent brand identity across your app and #LiveActivity. Use colors, iconography, typefaces, and attributes from your app to create a cohesive experience. Draw inspiration from your app icon for a recognizable connection. #AppDevelopment #iOS

For an unknown reason, I can't see again a #LiveActivity from my app after I allow them. It's working fine in Simulator. Rebooting my device doesn't help.

• No error when I create the activity
• Started in foreground
• Console shows: "Updating content"

#iOSDev #ActivityKit #buildinpublic #swiftui #indiedev

Use #LiveActivity to alert users about important updates, emphasizing the information causing the alert during the transition. Then remove Live Activities from the lock screen after a short duration to prevent annoyance. #AppDevelopment #iOS

Enhance the User Experience. Design engaging transitions and make your #LiveActivity visually engaging by creating your own transitions. Play with the default animations available and combine the ones relevant to the content of your app. #UX #AppDevelopment #iOS #iosdev

Anyone out there having trouble rendering views in a Stand By Live Activity?

It seems there's a padding around our views we can't get rid of. 😭

And when updating the activity via an #appIntent the frame doesn't always update correctly and cuts off content. See screenshot no 2.

#SwiftUI #standBy #ios17 #liveActivity #widget

@alpennec @donnywals @fds yes, everything is shared with all targets using App Groups.

The only part of Ambre not loading data from #CoreData is our #LiveActivity widgets. For some reason they just can’t load the core data stack. Has been broken since iOS 16 was released 🤷‍♂️

It's so weird that there isn't official #CoreData support in #LiveActivity widgets.

Talked to Apple folks about it with no clear response. Just that we're expected to communicate with the Activity via Push or `Activity.update()`

Is this a clue?🕵🏽‍♂️ It would make sense if they released a #HomePod with a display. Show my live activities on the display, and only supports updating via APNS or `Activity.update()`.

Guess we'll see later this fall.

Anyone else having problems with the Live Activity Widget being constantly black?
Occurs on both device and in the simulator. I've been neglecting it for approx. 2-3 weeks now, hoping it would resolve itself, but alas here we are 😅

@matt1corey Is your #CoreData stored in an #AppGroup container?

Once this is set up all your extensions can read/write your CoreData, except #LiveActivity and #DynamicIsland widgets.

This has been reported to #Apple: FB12607818

Here's some sample code I put together that demonstrates the bug: https://github.com/JagCesar/LiveActivityCoreData

How to dismiss live activity notification from Watch programmatically?
I can do that for UserNotifications by calling `removeDeliveredNotifications(withIdentifiers:)`, but cannot find a way to do that for LiveActivities updated with AlertConfiguration #SwiftUI #LiveActivity #watchOS

#CoreData folks, I need some help! I've been struggling with this problem for a long time and can't for the life of me figure it out.

We're trying to use Core Data in our #LiveActivity and #DynamicIsland widgets, but it just won't work.

I've made a super simple sample project that reproduces the problem, available here:

I've reported this via FB, but as expected it's like talking to a stone 😄 FB12607818

#SwiftUI #iOS17

Anyone else having problems loading #CoreData from their Live Activity Widget? It works flawlessly in the simulator, but doesn’t work at all on device for us 😭

#ios #dynamicIsland #liveActivity #widget

#TIL @octoprint added support for #LiveActivity #LiveActivities

Secondo voci di corridoio dicono che #AppleMaps in #ios17 avrà un widget #LiveActivity a pieno schermo

When you found a #LiveActivity bug that's only trigged for 8+ hour long timers, you can https://xkcd.com/303 while waiting for the timer right?
