When setting a custom sound in AlarmKit, the alarm only plays the audio file once. I can understand why push notifications would play a sound only once, but I don’t understand why alarms can only play the sound for less than 30 seconds. We’re already at beta 6, so I’m wondering if Apple still hasn’t fixed this or if they have no intention of fixing it.

in beta5 now the custom sound configuration works and it actually plays sound when alarm runs off BUT the sound is played only for once. has anyone figured out on how to put it on repeat? or do I have to wait on this for another couple of weeks💀

what else can you do with it except for getting the alarm run off? and the alarm even gets dismissed when the user presses any buttons on device even volume buttons. I hope it's better by the time when iOS26 is officially released but I can't prepare for the new iOS update with this useless new framework. does anybody know what new features in this framework are coming up?
