Comment on Effective use of .disfavouredLocations API
This works great for MacOS, thank you! On Standby my app name is still displayed with just no widgets offered and a big "Add Widget" button which does nothing, is this a bug I should report? Presumably also .disfavouredLocations{.iPhoneWidgetsOnMac} is not needed if you have the data protection key enabled? As for CarPlay though, will the new widget support in iOS 26 also honour the .disfavouredLocations{} or data protection key?

Comment on Updating Widgets from StaticConfiguration to IntentConfiguration Requires Re-Installation
Unfortunately I think this will not result in an experience the user is happy with. Essentially they will see the situation as "My widget is disappearing" and will assume (correctly!) that I've done something to break it. Some users may not even remember which widget they had from my app, only that it was there and then it wasn't.... So I really think a migration path is needed.

Comment on Any changes in HRV sample frequency in watchOS 11?
I second @codingLawyer comments that HRV sensor data from Apple Watch is really insufficient to have significant meaning in current WatchOS versions. It really needs to be much higher such as it is with the AFib History either by default or by user toggle. It's also an interesting omission that HRV is not included in the new WatchOS 11 Vitals app.... If this is all part of plans to bring such a feature to a new Apple Watch model and wrap it up in a stress tracking feature.... blink twice

Comment on openSettingsURLString For Privacy & Security -> Health
Understand. It's a little frustrating though as it still seems like the only supported Settings link takes the user to the app Settings, to access anything else they then have to go back, scroll up the top and then select the relevant menu. Unless you can think of a specific security or privacy benefit for this behaviour? I'll file a feedback anyway just in case 👍
