👋 Hey Product Hunters! Ruby here, Principal Product Manager at OneSignal. We’re so excited for you to check out Live Activities! Here at OneSignal, we’ve been the market leader for push notifications and now we’re expanding that to Live Activities. Recently released by Apple, Live Activities are dynamic messages that display up-to-date information from your app directly on the iOS lock screen for up to 8 hours! Unfortunately, they require engineering time and months of development to set up a new service infrastructure. ⏰ That’s why I’m so excited that we're one of the first companies globally to release support for Live Activities, to help accelerate your development time. With OneSignal’s API and SDK, what previously would take months of development, will now only take a matter of hours. Live Activities currently support a variety of use cases for iOS, including: 🏈 Sports 🎮 Gaming 📰 News 💸 Fintech ₿ Crypto 🚗 Rideshare 🌯 Delivery ✈️ Travel Any iOS app can deliver compelling Live Activities to all its app users—no push permissions are necessary. So they're a great new way to grow iOS app engagement. 📈 We’re the only platform making Live Activities available to everybody. As a special offer for Product Hunters: if you implement Live Activities with OneSignal in the next 3 months, then contact us to get 20% off of our Growth Plan! Thanks for checking it out, and we’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions! 📣

@rubychilds @farisa_ottaviano You can try it out on any app that already uses Live Activities. Here are some highlighted by MacRumors https://www.macrumors.com/2022/1.... If you're looking to play with the code, we have a sample application here https://github.com/OneSignalDeve...

I am so excited about the launch of our new Live Activities feature — which empowers our community of 1.8M+ developers to implement this powerful new iOS feature in their apps in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months. Live Activities offer so many opportunities for apps to build customer loyalty and deepen engagement, from broadcasting game scores or news updates to displaying dynamic play-by-plays of deliveries and transactions. I am confident that this feature will help our community of app developers create even more innovative and engaging experiences for their users. Thank you for your continued support, and I can't wait to see what you build with Live Activities!
