Live Scores with Live Activities
summary
Forza Football builds a live scores Live Activity that uses server-sent APNs payloads because the activity process cannot make network requests, and the team ends up sending near–per-minute pushes to keep the match clock accurate. Design work balances a 160px lock‑screen limit and three Dynamic Island states, iterates through cropped logos and color treatments, and instruments an in‑app preview tool plus APNs console testing. The result ships on the App Store and proves reliable despite push debugging pain.
