Video or GIF dynamic island - activitykit - SwiftUI

I started putting my hands-on the dynamic island and the activitykit and I already found out some limitations.

I would love to play a GIF or a video (MP4) into the dynamic island when leaving the app. Like those nice animations that Apple made when there is some song or something playing.

However I found out that... I receive a "forbidden" yellow and red symbol when I try to add a video or GIF (Array of images) into the dynamic island it self.

Does anybody of you knows if and how is it possible to have an animated image into the dynamic island?

Thanks!

Solution

  • I had a chat with an Apple engineer and he told me that animations are private API's so this means IT'S NOT POSSIBLE for us to implement such a feature.

    If we want this, we should open a ticket as feature request in the Feedback section of the Apple Developer website.
