APP CLIPS AND WIDGETS

Apple has introduced App Clips, and Widgets, providing developers a couple of new ways to reach out to new users.

According to the press statement by Apple, “With App Clips, users have a fast and easy way to discover apps through new visual indicators called App Clip codes, as well as through NFC, shared links, and more. App Clips launch within a few seconds, immersing the user into a piece of the full app experience and giving developers a fun, new way to reach customers exactly when their app is most useful. Once inside the App Clip, users can easily install the full app with a single tap.”

Widgets have also been redesigned to be more helpful and give users timely information at a glance. With app widgets on the Home Screen pages, users can experience the developer's widget every time they look at their device. And with a new SwiftUI API, developers can use the same code to build a widget for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.”
