今天的iOS扩展程序是否会与主机应用程序一起自动安装在用户的设备上？

Question

I just need a little information about iOS's today widget, if a user installs an app with this extension, is it compulsory for him to later manually add the widget from the dedicated menu, or can this widget be installed automatically at the same time as the app?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Today extension aka Widget automatically get installed with hosted app. User have to just go to Widget screen, then there is Edit button at bottom. Click on edit screen - will show all the widgets available on given device.

See the Edit button in below screenshot. It is showing that 8 new widget available on given device. If you click on that button and can press + button to show in widget screen and can press - screen to hide it.

When every user installing an app.
iOS will detect is any widget was available for this application and automatically show information on Widget page. like New widget available .

Then user have to click on edit button and add your app widgets to use.
