The session titled "Broadcast updates to your Live Activities" at WWDC 2024 introduces a new way to broadcast updates for live activities to a large audience using a single push notification. This is particularly useful for scenarios where many people are following the same event, such as a sports game. The session covers how to use broadcast push notifications to update live activities on multiple devices efficiently.

Key points from the session include:

  • Introduction to Broadcast Push Notifications: This new feature allows developers to send a single push notification to update live activities for many users simultaneously, without managing individual push tokens for each user.

  • Creating and Managing Channels: Developers can create channels for specific events, like a soccer game, and use these channels to send updates. The lifecycle of a channel is independent of the live activity, meaning it can be reused for subsequent activities.

  • Using the Push Notifications Console: The console is a tool for testing and integrating broadcast notifications. In production, servers should send requests directly to APNs using the new API.

  • APNs Integration: The session explains how to integrate the new APNs API into your server to manage channels and send broadcast push notifications.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the session chapters, such as Send broadcast push notifications.
