I’m implementing a Control Widget for watchOS 26 Beta 5, using .promptsForUserConfiguration() so that users can select an option from an enum when adding the widget. The overall functionality works fine, but when users configure the option, the enum’s corresponding text is not properly localized. My enum is defined like this: static var caseDisplayRepresentations: [XXXType: DisplayRepresentation] { [ XX1: .init(title: .init("text1", table: "xxx")), XX2: .init(title: .init("text2", table: "xxx")), ] } After the configuration is completed and the Control Widget appears in the Control Center or Smart Stack, the text is displayed correctly. Same code on iOS work perfect.

When I use the Activity.request method to start the Dynamic Island widget, there have been continuous crash reports online, Could you please provide some ideas on how to fix this crash? Thanks!

When using the ManagedSettings API to block apps everything is blocked as expected (the app itself, Notifications, Live Activities on the Lock Screen etc) except for Compact Live Activities of those apps (that are shown in the Dynamic Island). I feel the expected behavior would be to block also the Compact Live Activities. Our use case: In Spoilerblock we want to prevent users from being exposed to spoilers before they've had time to watch for example a sports game. Current workaround: Right now the best we can do is to ask the user to disable Live Activities for apps that could expose results, to not risk being exposed to a spoiler.

I cannot install any widgets on my simulator, even the system provided ones. I just finished removing all dev software from my machine and reinstalling only Xcode 16.3.

I'm developing an app which will show the driver ETA and rendering the progress bar of the current ETA. Intuitively the backend server sends the push notification every 3 seconds through firebase cloud message service to APNS so that the device can refresh the dynamic island smoothly. But the live activity doesn't refresh as frequently as the backend service does. It should refresh every 3 seconds but it turns out like refresh 30 ~ 60 seconds, sometimes it didn't refresh at all. any body facing the same?

I currently test AlarmKit's API with my project. But I find that AlarmKit API presents its UI inconsistently. When i turn off my device and re-install my application, it presents its alarm in Live activity, but sometimes doesn't. Is there any rules to present Alarm UI?

When does alarmkit's alarm displayed in Live activity? I think it is very random. is there any condition for this?

We have some AppIntents we are POCing and when we make a Release build, they no longer appear in the system. These AppIntents live in a Framework compiled and linked with the core app. We believe that this is related to Mergable Libraries. We have confirmed that the meta data for the framework still contains a list of all of the actions and their mangled symbols. The mangled symbols however now live in the app binary (confirmed by building Release with DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf) If we move the AppIntent code into the app target, things once again work as expected. Is there a flag we need to set, or is moving the code into the app target the only workaround? Thank you!

Can I Present AlarmKit's Alarm UI in Expanded Dynamic Island that I implement with SwiftUI when its fired? not System AlarmUI, but my the view that I implemented. I've implemented Dynamic Island properly, and tried various scenarios but I can't find out the way to present AlarmKit UI in Expanded Dynamic Island when it is fired. I don't know why, but, sometimes, it is presented in Expanded Dynamic Island UI which is I Implemented. But when I try lots of times, It is presented in System AlarmKit UI not my SwiftUI View. Can you please tell me how can I present my SwiftUI Expanded Dynamic Island when it is fired? Sincerely

Hi, I'm having this issue that I have have not been able to figure out as I've gone through a checklist and it seems I have everything in place, but im sending my pushToStartTokenUpdates token to a server and im able to test starting a live activity via CURL where it shows my push token going through and even my test payload but after a while I get this issue in my logs where it fails to find a live activity Push notifications are set up, im sending my token to APN and im even able to start live activities locally.

Does the alert only serve the following purposes: required for start events require for any event that needs to alert the user (with sound or having the live activity show in expanded presentation) while its content DO NOT matter. Only the presence of the field and its attributes matter. The only time its content matter are when the receiving device is an Apple Watch. Is that correct?

When sending multiple push to start notifications to start a live activities in a short time frame, after around 10 pushes live activities are no longer being started. Device logs show the following entry: Push-to-start budget exceeded for com.att.tlv.myatt::pushToStart; not starting activity What can be done to be able to open more live activities via push-to-start in a short time frame (increase the push-to-start budget)? Can this be related to the development environment and it will not happen on production? NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates is already set to YES

After opening 5 live activities using live activity push-to-start push notifications, I clear them from lock screen. From this point forward I am unable to open new live activities. Device log shows: Could not create a new activity from push notification: ActivityKit.ActivityAuthorizationError.targetMaximumExceeded How can I handle such use case? shouldn't the count of opened live activities be reduced once the user clears the live activities? is this a bug?

My start live activity CURL is not starting my live activity and I keep getting a decoding failure even though my curl matches my content state so my live activity is not starting. heres my CURL --header "apns-topic: MuscleMemory.KimchiLabs.com.push-type.liveactivity" \ --header "apns-push-type: liveactivity" \ --header "apns-priority: 10" \ --header "authorization: bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IjI4MjVTNjNEV0IifQ.eyJpc3MiOiJMOTZYUlBCSzQ2IiwiaWF0IjoxNzU3NDYwMzQ2fQ.5TGvDRk5ZYLsvncjKwXIZYN78X88v5lCwX4fRvfl1QXjwv8tOtO2uoId27LQahXA3zqjruu_2YoOfqEtrppKXQ" \ --data '{ "aps": { "timestamp": '"$(date +%s)"', "event": "start", "content-state": { "plain_text": "hello world", "userContentPage": ["hello world"] }, "alert": { "sound": "chime.aiff" } }, "attributes-type": "KimchiKit.DynamicRepAttributes", "attributes": {} }' \ --http2 https://api.sandbox.push.apple.com/3/device/802fe7b4066e26b51ede7188a7077a9603507a0fa6ee8ffda946a864e75aa139602861538d6fb12100afbe9a3338d6c7c799d947dfacb2ee835f0339ecdc3165c9ed7e54839f5a3b89b76a011f5826cc and here is my content state public struct ContentState: Codable, Hashable { public var plainText: String public var userContentPage: [String] public enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case plainText = "plain_text" case userContentPage } public init(plainText: String, userContentPage: [String]) { self.plainText = plainText self.userContentPage = userContentPage } } public init() {} }

A Live Activity relies on its app being in the background , but contrary to a widget it does not have a timeline. Our app "in the making" is sandboxed and does not need to receive ActivityKit push notifications How is the app "maintained in life" and not entirely killed for the duration of the activity - Apple documentation says up to 8 hours ? Is it necessary for us to do something to maintain it, like to trick the system , play a white noise audio background ...?

Description When starting Live Activities via ActivityKit push notifications, the “start” notification is received correctly on iPhone 16 Pro Max, but subsequent update or end push notifications are not. The same implementation on iPhone 16 Pro behaves as expected (both start and update/end notifications are delivered and processed). Environment Property Value Device (failing) iPhone 16 Pro Max Device (working) iPhone 16 Pro iOS Version 18.5 Xcode / SDK 16.2/ActivityKit / Push Notifications Network Wi-Fi / Cellular (both tested) Data Collection Method Devices connected via USB. Logs captured using Console.app. Log filtering applied for the liveactivitiesd daemon to isolate Live Activity behavior. Initial Triage/Observations Payload format confirmed compatible; no incompatible fields. APNs token remains the same across messages (no refresh). Identical ActivityKit subscriptions/participants on both devices. Server-side delivery is confirmed: iPhone 16 Pro receives all messages (start, update, end). Only iPhone 16 Pro Max fails to receive update or end push notifications.

What additional diagnostic logs (system, APNs, liveactivitiesd) would be most helpful to collect? Could device-specific power management, notification settings, or OS-level changes on Pro Max models affect Live Activity updates? Are there differences in how Live Activity push subscriptions or routing are handled on iPhone 16 Pro Max vs Pro that could lead to this issue?

I have an app that has a Core Data store for dates with descriptions that I'd like to present in a widget with countdown calculations. In the app I have a button that just equates an active calculation to the currently selected item in the database (using an EnvironmentObject). I gather I can't use this mechanism inside a widget, right? The user could put tons of items into the database - so I'm sure I don't want to have an editable widget allowing them to pick. I suppose I could create an intent and allow an independent entering from the app - but that seems rather user hostile since they've already entered it for the app - and I'm still trying to support iOS15 which doesn't support that. I did create an App Group and have the Core Data store available from within the widget, but I don't see how to allow the user to choose which date is active. I also want multiple widgets to be able to point to different dates. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
