A Journey From Playback to Live Activities

This is a story about an app years in the making. A look at taking an app that was focused on analysing data from existing recordings of data to one that does the recording of data itself. As device capabilities improved and new functionality and frameworks have been added to both iPhones and Apple Watches, their ability to function as recording devices is now at a point where it is viable. So what are the moving parts used to make all this possible? How have Apple's frameworks and devices been used to their fullest potential to make this all a reality? - Bluetooth - connecting to devices such as power / cadence, indoor trainers, radars - SwiftUI - helps to share common UI elements between different targets - Dynamic Island / Live Activities - showing information to the user during the activity This is a story that shows there are a lot of benefits to be gained by leaning heavily on the frameworks and devices provided by Apple.
