Unlocking Real-Time Engagement: Seamless Integration of Live Activities with Expo
summary
Shows a concrete recipe to add iOS Live Activities to an Expo React Native app: create a SwiftUI live activity target in Xcode, add an Expo native module that exposes start/end/update booleans, and install the expo-apple-targets config plugin (set Apple Team ID). Code checks iOS >= 16.2, passes attributes like start/end time and widgetURL, and updates progress via Live Activities APIs. Demo runs on the lock screen and Dynamic Island, the activity launches, updates, deep-links back to the app, and dismisses as expected.
