iOS Live Activity iOS 17.2 api pushToStartTokenUpdates
With the recent release of iOS 17.2 on December 11th, 2023, Apple introduced the ability to start new Live Activities from a push notification. This change enables apps that implement Live Activities to gain a significant edge by leveraging the ability to appear on their users’ screens automatically without them needing to open the app.
With the release of iOS 17.2 (and iPadOS 17.2), your app does not have to be open for a Live Activity to be started and shown on the device’s lock screen.
By starting Live Activities with ActivityKit push notifications, app receives a push-to-start token allowing you to start new Live Activities (you can use this pushToStartTokenUpdates sequence to get started).
When is Braze planning to add this to their iOS SDK?
