I see. Thank you for your help!

This creates a split second artifact where the text and progress can be seen disappearing during the fade animation, so I tried using completion: { ... } with great success! withAnimation { isShowing = false } completion: { self.title = "" self.message = "" self.percentage = 0 } Is there an explanation to why the freeze occurs?

Just to add on, I actually tried using NSMetadataQuery, and for some reason the ubiquitous item keys were all returning nil. Not too sure why it's happening, might have to talk to Apple Developer Technical Support for help.

Facing a similar issue too with contexts residing in interactive widgets. Except the data isn’t lost, it just requires a restart of the main app to get the updated data. Data seems to merge just fine even when editing the outdated data in the main app, but it’s still an issue.
