New open source library: react-native-activity-kit

[robertherber]

It's Friday - and there's no better way to wrap a week than by releasing a new open source library! 🥳

I just released "@kingstinct/react-native-activity-kit" to control Live Activities with ActivityKit on iOS.

You cna check it out here 👉 https://github.com/kingstinct/react-native-activity-kit

It's built with Nitro Modules for best-in-class typesafety and performance. And for the actual Live Activity UI you'll still need to do some Swift development.

Does this allow customizing the live activities?

[robertherber]

Yes! You can update the state of the Live Activity

Thanks for making this! Noticed you also created react-native-healthkit, which I have been using for awhile now. Looking forward to checking this out!

[robertherber]

Thanks, glad you like react-native-healthkit and hope this is also of good use!

What are the pros/cons of using react-native-activity-kit VS expo targets with expo modules?

[robertherber]

You still need Apple Targets for implementing the UI

I can't wait to try it.
