relevancekit

Apple Watch widget visibility is controlled by providing contextual relevance signals through RelevanceKit. You define timeline providers that trigger widget displays based on specific times, locations, fitness activities, or hardware states.

Yes, watchOS widgets can be triggered using location-based and fitness-based relevance signals. You can set widget relevance based on inferred locations, specific coordinates, fitness activities, or sleep schedules to display contextually appropriate information.

RelevanceKit integrates directly with WidgetKit to create relevant widgets for watchOS 26 and later. This combination allows you to define relevance entries that determine when widgets appear on the Apple Watch face.

Combining multiple relevance signals involves using RelevanceEntriesProvider to merge time, location, fitness, and hardware states. This allows a single widget to become relevant under various overlapping conditions, like showing calendar events when approaching a location.

RelevanceKit targets watchOS 26 and later exclusively, meaning widgets using these contextual relevance signals will not function on older watchOS versions. Widget visibility depends entirely on the defined relevance constraints.

To display widgets based on hardware connections like headphones, RelevanceKit provides the necessary hardware relevance signals. This allows WidgetKit to trigger specific interfaces when matching hardware connects to the Apple Watch.
