The biggest “killer” of iPhone 14 Pro this year is undoubtedly Dynamic Island, which is currently the most controversial design on the network, some people like it, and others scold it. But no matter what, Apple has planned a set of interactions that will use the dugout screen to the extreme. Unfortunately, after the release, Apple did not open the API first, and third-party developers are unable to take the initiative to adapt the development, resulting in pop-up windows such as WeChat will be displayed below Dynamic Island, which looks very abrupt.
It is reported that Apple has opened the API in iOS 16.1, and also released a complete real-time activity design guide, which outlines the specifications for developers to add real-time activities to their apps.
It shows three states of Dynamic Island, Minimize, Maximize, and Compact states, which will be the most common presentation of Dynamic Island in the future.
In addition, Apple reminds developers to be aware of the following.
"Provide real-time activity for tasks and real-time events that have defined beginnings and endings. -Provides real-time activity for tasks with defined start and end and real-time events. -Present only the most important content. -Update live events only when new content is available and alert users only when attention must be drawn to them. -Avoid displaying sensitive information in real-time activities. -Avoid using live events to display ads or promotions. -Give users control over starting and ending live events. -Ensure that tapping on a live activity opens the app in the right place. -Consider removing live activities from the lock screen after the lock screen ends. -Ensure consistent messaging and design of compact presentations in Dynamic Island. -Create a consistent layout between compact and extended presentations. -Consider using a consistent design across lock screens and extended presentations. -Adapt to different screen sizes and live active presentations. -Consider carefully before using custom background colors and opacity on the lock screen. -Coordinate the content's rounded corner radius with the rounded corner radius of live events. -Use standard margins to ensure that content is clear and easy to read. -Choose a color that is appropriate for personalizing the lock screen. -Support dark mode and always-on display. -Use animation carefully and only to draw attention to content updates.ersonalizing the lock screen.
