CTOnews.com October 19 news, Apple today released iOS 16.1 RC preview version, and will launch the official version on October 25. Apple has announced that developers can now submit apps that support real-time activity to the App Store. Developers can build their apps using Xcode 14.1 RC, test them, and submit them for review.

iOS 16.1 introduces support for real-time activity in third-party apps. The feature allows iPhone users to stay focused on real-time events, such as sports games or food delivery orders, on the lock screen or in Smart Island.

CTOnews.com has learned that live activity appears at the bottom of the lock screen on iPhone 13 or earlier models and iPhone 14 / Plus, and on iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, live activity content appears in Smart Island when the device is unlocked, and live activity appears on the lock screen when the device is locked or in AOD display mode.

Live Events will also support sports scores for specific leagues through the Apple TV app, including MLB (Major League Baseball) in the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Japan and South Korea, as well as NBA and Premier League in the US and Canada only. This feature worked in the early iOS 16.1 beta, but Alec Cohen found that this real-time activity feature showing sports scores was disabled in the iOS 16.1 RC preview, which may not be available until later.

iOS 16.1 will be released on October 25 alongside iPadOS 16.1 and macOS 13 Ventura. The update will support iCloud shared photo library, key sharing in the Wallet app via apps like Messages and WhatsApp, Apple Card savings account options, US Clean Energy charging options, support for Home app Matter accessories, Apple Fitness + Workout without Apple Watch, and more.

Apple also opened App Store app submissions for macOS 13 Ventura, watchOS 9.1 and tvOS 16.1.
