iOS 14 New Frameworks

App Clips

An App Clip is a lightweight version of your app. From that you can make some of your app’s functionality available to users who don’t have the full app installed.

WidgetKit

Show relevant, glanceable content from your app on the iOS Home screen or macOS Notification Center. With three different sizes available (small, medium, and large), widgets can display a wide range of information. When they need more details, your widget takes them directly to the appropriate place in your app.

ClockKit

Use the ClockKit framework to display app-specific data on the clock face.

Nearby Interaction

Use NearbyInteraction (NI) in your app to locate and interact with nearby devices using identifiers, distance, and direction.

Screen Time

The Screen Time framework used to share and manage web-usage data, and observe changes made by a parent or guardian to supervise their children’s web usage.
