@txo/live-activity-countdown-react-native v1.0.11

@txo/live-activity-countdown-react-native

A package for creating iOS Live Activity notification with simple countdown

Installation

Install the package and pods

yarn add @txo/live-activity-countdown-react-native @txo/live-activity-countdown-view-react-native
npx pod-install

Create a Widget Extension in your Xcode workspace

1. In Xcode: File > New... > Target...
2. Choose Widget Extension, add a name (e.g. LiveActivityCountdown) and make sure Include Live Activity is enabled
3. Remove LiveActivityCountdown.swift and LiveActivityCountdownLiveActivity.swift files
4. Import LiveActivityCountdownView and use LiveActivityCountdownLiveActivity from the package in LiveActivityCountdownBundle.swift

import WidgetKit
import SwiftUI
+ import LiveActivityCountdownView

@main
struct LiveActivityCountdownBundle: WidgetBundle {
  var body: some Widget {
-       LiveActivityCountdown()
        LiveActivityCountdownLiveActivity()
    }
}

5. Add LiveActivityCountdownView as pod to your Widget Extension by adding this code at the end of your Podfile

target 'LiveActivityCountdownExtension' do
  pod 'LiveActivityCountdownView', :path => '../node_modules/@txo/live-activity-countdown-view-react-native'
end

6. Add NSSupportsLiveActivities key with value YES to Info.plist (More info here)

Usage

• Add your app logo (or different image) to Assets.xcassets under name AppLogoLiveActivity in Widget Extension
  • for multiple images you can use custom names and then specify them in JS with imageName attribute

Code:

import { createLiveActivity } from '@txo/live-activity-countdown-react-native';

createLiveActivity({
  title: 'Test title',
  timerTitle: 'Remaining time',
  buttonTitle: 'Open App',
  endDateTime: '2022-12-31T12:00:00.000Z', // Date object can be used too
  timerColor: '#cccccc',
})
  .then((id: string) => {
    // store activity ID somewhere to use it for ending the Live Activity later
  })

Caveats and notes

• When adding image, add lower resolutions - 150px is working fine for the logo (more info here - Understand constraints paragraph)
