More Detail
Additional details
- LiveCommunicationKit centers on a conversation object with handles for participants and capabilities that tell the system which controls and gestures to show.
- Adoption gives communication apps system UI on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Phone Recents, and contact details instead of requiring a fully custom call surface.
- Apps using older CallKit-style patterns such as `CXProvider` should evaluate moving to LiveCommunicationKit for richer real-time conversation support.
- Incoming conversations are tied to PushKit wake-up and presentation, while outgoing conversations can be surfaced from inside the app, Siri, and Recents.
- Group support covers participant management and merging conversations, with actions represented through app-specific conversation managers and App Intents.
