Is it possible to have animated icon like Apple has for it's clock for ios 11 and above using nativescript? I found answer for ios here and that says The iOS SDK does not allow you to change/animate your apps icon. Apple's own apps are ofcourse an exception.

But that answer is from 2013 and I am wondering if this is still the same case.

And for android I think we can have App widgets as described in this answer.

P.S. I have tagged 'NativeScript' as I am using that for my apps development.

  • The case is still the same for Apple. Animated app icon for iOS is still unavailable for third-party developers. – Gordon Lee Oct 22 '18 at 03:08
  • @paulw11 I have referenced that question in my post and linked as well. That is for ios7 while I have asked for ios12. – Narendra Oct 22 '18 at 05:34
  • The answer is still valid. Nothing has changed. I dare say that for iOS it will never change. Allowing an app to execute continually in the background in order to update an icon is incompatible with the iOS execution model. – Paulw11 Oct 22 '18 at 05:46
  • Fair Enough, I'll delele the post not to confuse others. – Narendra Oct 22 '18 at 05:48
