Halp! Does anybody know the best practice to update dynamic island content when a timer runs out? Scheduled timers do not fire when the main app is in the background. #indiedev #swift #ios

The app does neither navigate or play audio in the background, so it can't use those capabilities to run background tasks.

Notifications also seem to be out of the question, as this is something to be used with a remote server.

What i want to do is to show a rest timer during a workout. When it expires, the workout data is shown again.

Just found the stale date in the documentation and will try to use it to updated the live activity at the end of a rest timer.

Hmm, while observing `activityStateUpdates` is possible, it never changes to `stale` with a provided `staleDate`. -.-

@denrase I have tried to do something similar with a live activity but was seeing remote notifications and foreground app as the only ways to update/change the activity. Let me update the activity via local notification and I will be all set.

@JBeaudoin Yeah i don't understand it either. I have arguably the most simple of use cases, update the UI after some time, and can't get it to work with the current API. Trying to use `staleDate` and observing the state, but no luck so far.

@denrase asked this again in the #wwdc slack for live-activities and was told updating from a local notification is still not supported and to file and enhancement feedback. 😕

@JBeaudoin Alright, i guess nows the time to file
