A new Flight widget on iOS (small to large and the lock screen) and Android
shows the trip's next flight or the one in the air: both airports, the arc
with the aircraft, a countdown the system keeps running, and the delay. It
follows the feed's phase, so a late departure is not flown along the arc.
Around a flight the travel day's Live Activity becomes a boarding pass with
a running bar and countdown, in the Dynamic Island too.
Everything the iOS shell gained, built natively for Android 16 with Material
You, and back to Android 7:
- Home-screen widgets in Jetpack Glance: trip, today, bookings, to-dos,
packing, world map and travel group, from the same snapshot the iOS widgets
read. Wallpaper colours on Android 12+, resizable in three layouts, a trip
picker per widget (reconfigurable), live previews in Android 15's picker
and preview images before it.
- The travel day as a Live Update: a promoted ongoing notification with the
next stop as the status-bar chip, a countdown and the day's stops as
segments (ProgressStyle), a quiet ongoing notification before Android 16.
- A share sheet of its own: a Material bottom sheet with the trip picker for
files, mails, pages and links shared from any app, and the coming trips as
launcher and direct-share shortcuts.
- Push: channels per kind of notification (chat, trip updates, invitations,
general) by the event the server now names, stacked per channel.
- Location for navigator.geolocation from the fused provider, a store for
Mapbox's map resources (30 days, 250 MB), Google Play Billing behind the
StoreKit methods, and Google Wallet save links.
- Large screens: every orientation and window size without a restart,
the window's size classes and a foldable's posture and hinge for the UI
(windowLayout), the UI's keyboard shortcuts as the app's (keyCommands),
predictive back, per-app language.
- The native strings in the 28 languages of the iOS app, generated from its
strings files (scripts/generate-android-strings.mjs).
Debug builds carry a widget gallery that draws every widget at every size.
