Live Activities

[rlepinski]

Support for managing Live Activities from React. There is still some native code to wire up the types since I have not found a way (even possible?) to infer the types from a string on swift.

Usage

Using the AirshipPluginExtender, configure them:

import Foundation
import AirshipKit
import AirshipFrameworkProxy
import ActivityKit

@objc(AirshipPluginExtender)
public class AirshipPluginExtender: NSObject, AirshipPluginExtenderProtocol {

    public static func onAirshipReady() {
        if #available(iOS 16.1, *) {
            // Will throw if called more than once
            try? LiveActivityManager.shared.setup { configurator in

                // Call per widget type
                await configurator.register(
                    forType: Activity<ExampleWidgetsAttributes>.self,
                ) { attributes in
                    // Track this property as the Airship name for updates. This supports
                    // both local activities being started and starting from a Push.
                    attributes.name
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Then on the React side:

// Create
Airship.iOS.liveActivityManager.create({
  attributesType: 'ExampleWidgetsAttributes',
  content: {
    state: {
      emoji: '🙌',
    },
    relevanceScore: 0.0,
  },
  attributes: {
    name: 'some-unique-name',
  },
});

// List
Airship.iOS.liveActivityManager.list({
  attributesType: 'ExampleWidgetsAttributes',
});

// Update
Airship.iOS.liveActivityManager.update({
  activityId: activityId,
  attributesType: 'Example',
  content: {
    state: {
      emoji: '🙌🙌',
    },
    relevanceScore: 0.0,
  },
});

// End
Airship.iOS.liveActivityManager.end({
  activityId: activityId,
  attributesType: 'ExampleWidgetsAttributes',
});


// Listen
Airship.addListener(EventType.IOSLiveActivitiesUpdated, (event) => {
    console.log('Live Activities updated:', JSON.stringify(event));
});

@robwalkerco @gkueny You two are the only ones that have had open issues about Live Activities, so I was wondering if you had any input on the APIs we are going to expose to manage this? I want to have this released in the coming week, so if you have input please let me know ASAP :)

Hi @rlepinski , on my end we start/update/end our LiveActivity by push notification with airship API.

We do not manage them on the JS side.
For what I see, your APIs seems fine to me
