HomeWidgets cannot have buttons and actions. Yes, I know that you can use the HomeWidget to launch the app and pass a parameter to it do something that you want, but that is not the same thing as what's possible with Today Widgets which does the job without launching the app. Deprecating Today Widgets without a replacement seems short-sighted.

I've tried MKMapSnapshotter in the TimelineProvider as suggested in the accepted answer, but the completion handler of the start is never called (snapshot is a MKMapSnapshotter object and I have verified that the callback is called when this code runs on the actual app and not the widget TimelineProvider. What am I missing?       let image = snapshot?.image // Image(uiImage: snapshot?.image)       completionHandler(image)     }

The problem is that MKMapSnapshotter.start does not run while the app is in the background and th callback is never called in TimelineProvider. Have you actually tried this? I have tried it and the completionHandler for MKMapSnapshotter.start is never called in TimelineProvider.

If you have found the answer to this question, can you please post here? The authorizationStatus is .notDetermined on the watch and I CMAltimeter uses the iPhone altimeter (instead of the watch altimeter)

One year later this issue still exists. Can anyone tells me if the issue has been solved for them and if there is a workaround? Specifically, my app has 7 localizations for subscriptions (IAP). The app shows Dutch localization for users whose device is sent to English (including myself). There is a yellow dot next to some of the localizations. All in-app purchases have been approved a few days ago.

I had to call Apple developer support to get this problem fixed

Can you let us know how you resolved the issue?

I've been trying to do this since yesterday and it keeps failing

It would be possible because this app does it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/desktop-calculator/id6450638014

Thanks for the response. Here is my code. It works on iOS 18.3 and even on iOS 18.4 Beta 4 Presenting the tip: Task { @MainActor in if await self.histogramTip.shouldDisplay { let controller = TipUIPopoverViewController(self.histogramTip, sourceItem: self.versionChartView) self.present(controller, animated: true) } } Definition of the tip: struct HistogramTip: Tip, Identifiable { var id: UUID = UUID() var title: Text { Text("Firmware Info") } var message: Text? { Text("Tap on any bar to see info about the firmware version") } } I also do this in the AppDelegate: try? Tips.configure([ .displayFrequency(.immediate) ])

I can confirm that this issue is not resolved. iOS 18.5. Apple, please fix this
