In one of the WWDC word clouds I saw the label "Extra-small widget option in visionOS", but looking at the WidgetFamily it doesn't look like there is any new size that has been opened up for 27. Is this a new size to be supported or something else entirely?

I asked this elsewhere in the forums and haven't gotten a response, but in one of the WWDC word clouds I saw the label "Extra-small widget option in visionOS", but looking at the WidgetFamily it doesn't look like there is any new size that has been opened up for 27. Is this a new size to be supported or something else entirely?

One of the WWDC word clouds included the phrase "Real-time updates for widgets with app is open". Can someone please explain what is going on there and how that is different from what was happening previously? I was under the impression that updates were always happening while the app was running and never counted against whatever app update quota was in place. I am not sure if this is related, but I would love to know in iOS 27 has any sort of increase to the memory or CPU limits on widget updates. For years we have had ideas for more widgets but can't implement them because even staying under the 30MB limit has been nearly impossible.

Since the introduction of visionOS and releasing a visionOS native app as part of our iOS/iPadOS app, we have had hundreds of warnings show up every time we build for iOS. These warnings show up for every asset (images and colors) that has a visionOS specific variant. The text of the warning itself looks like: The image set "account-cloud" has an unassigned child. If anyone has any way at all to make those warnings go away, I am all ears, though I am fairly confident it is something Apple needs to fix on their end. Fixing this is literally my entire wishlist for Xcode 27. Our feedback number for this from 2023 is: FB13398651

Are there plans to ever open up any more categories of apps in CarPlay? In particular, while Calendar.app is allowed in CarPlay, there is no accepted category that a third party calendar app could fall under to have the ability to do the same thing?

There are some Apple widgets (like the Weather Stand-by widget) that use some extra large versions of numbers. In those cases, they appear to be using some modified version of the number glyphs that is much more pleasing to look at. The default corners are very sharp, but rounded makes the letters overall bubbly. With this mystery difference, the overall letters are scare but the corners have a radius. I have been completely unable to replicate this.. Can anyone please point me to how these alternate symbols can be used? It is driving me crazy that this exists but I can't access them.

Apple's Weather app StandBy widget uses a font for the temperature that I can't seem to find how to access. As far as I can tell, it is some variant of SF Pro, but it isn't the default and it isn't rounded. To my eye the slightly rounded corners look significantly better in places where the text is really large. Does anyone have any idea how to specify the mystery font as seen in the included image?

Is there any way to trigger the night mode (vibrant red variant) for Standby when using the iOS 17 simulator or is that only testable on actual hardware devices?
