Live Activities, announced today at WWDC, gives developers a way to add real-time, up-to-date information to the iPhone’s lock screen. In addition to Apple’s introduction of the Smart Island feature on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple expanded this feature for Smart Island. In addition to the lock screen, developers can also display real-time activity directly in Smart Island.
In a newly released guide, Apple outlines best practices for developers specifically looking to adopt Live Activity on the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island.
● Provides real-time activities for tasks and real-time events with a defined start and end.
● Present only the most important content.
● Update live events only when new content is available, and alert people only when they must be noticed.
● Avoid displaying sensitive information in live events.
● Avoid using real-time activity to display advertisements or promotions.
● Give people control of starting and ending live events.
● Make sure to click on your Live Activity to open your application in the correct location.
● Consider removing your live activity from the lock screen after the lock screen is over.
