Widgets in iOS 14: What Does it Mean for Your Apps and Your Developers | WillowTree

General News

Summary

Widgets allow users to customize their home screen to display a small, glanceable representation of an app’s content (in a variety of sizes) in addition to the traditional app icon. Additionally, Apple only lets you update your Widget sparingly and does not intend them to refresh constantly. Widgets can update at scheduled points throughout the day, or as a result of an event like a push notification or when your app is launched. Developers can provide an intent definition that iOS will use to build configuration UI for your widget. Apple is pushing their newer frameworks to facilitate this new feature, so now is a great time to dive in and start learning.
