It seems you're interested in Live Activities on Flutter, but I can provide information on Live Activities as presented at Apple's WWDC.
At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several updates and features related to Live Activities, particularly for the Apple Watch and iOS. Here are some key points:
-
Live Activities on Apple Watch: In watchOS 11, Live Activities from your iOS app are available in the smart stack on Apple Watch. This means that even if you don't have a watchOS app, your iOS Live Activities will automatically appear on the Apple Watch. You can customize the Live Activity view for the smart stack by using the small supplemental activity family. This allows for a more tailored experience on the watch.
-
Integration with iOS: Live Activities provide a way to show up-to-date information about an activity or event from your app in glanceable locations like the lock screen and the dynamic island on iOS 18. When a Live Activity begins on your iPhone, it automatically shows up at the top of the smart stack on Apple Watch.
-
Customization and Interaction: Developers can customize their Live Activity views for Apple Watch, and if they have a watch app, they can opt to open it from a tap on the Live Activity in the smart stack. This is done by adding specific configurations in the build settings.
-
Broadcast Updates: Apple introduced a new way to broadcast updates for a Live Activity to a large audience using push notifications. This ensures that Live Activities have the latest information and can be updated across multiple devices simultaneously.
