I agree the Widget constraints are a joke.
I can update the resource constrained apple watch but I can't update the BIG Battery phone that might even be plugged in. It's kind of a mess. But the apple watch did take several years to make it usable. Maybe it will do what it should have in iOS 17.4
I want to display a burst of detailed information (up to the second) that periodically occurs at unpredictable times.
Like what if waze wanted to pop something on a widget about a road side emergency. But your out of budget. Or what if you have buy order on stock reaching a trigger. Updates every 15 minutes is crazy.
I just coded up the UI portion of a Widget and started looking into the refresh methodology and was seriously disappointed and will probably dump the whole idea of offering a Widget. It's useless.
