How to terminate Live Activities before the app process is killed

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an iOS app and running into an issue with Live Activities (Dynamic Island).

I want to close all Live Activities right before the app process gets terminated. However, I found that applicationWillTerminate is not triggered when users swipe up to force quit the app. That means I cannot execute code to end Live Activities in this scenario.

Are there any reliable workarounds or official solutions to resolve this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a simple real‑time hardware monitor for iPhone? Try Device Kit

Hey everyone,

I recently found a great lightweight hardware monitoring app for iPhone called Device Kit, and wanted to share it with the community.

This handy utility provides real‑time performance data including CPU/RAM usage, battery health, device temperature, and network speed, plus complete hardware specifications for your iPhone or iPad. It also includes home screen widgets for quick at‑a‑glance checks.

It features a privacy‑focused design: all data stays local on your device with no tracking or ads. It has a clean minimal interface, supports dark mode and multiple languages, and is optimized for the latest iOS versions.

Do any of you regularly use hardware monitoring tools on your iPhones? What features do you look for most in this type of app?

  • Home Screen Widgets: quick glance at live performance data
  • Privacy‑first: all data runs locally on your device, no cloud uploads
  • Clean minimal UI, dark/light mode support, multi‑language
  • No ads, no junk tracking, smooth performance on latest iOS versions

Perfect for iOS power users, developers, or anyone who wants to check their device’s hardware status easily.

I built Device Kit — a real-time system monitor + toolbox + PiP & widgets for iOS

Hey r/SideProject! 👋

I'm an indie iOS developer, and over the past months I've been building Device Kit — an all-in-one dashboard app that turns your iPhone into a real-time monitoring station and a Swiss Army knife of utilities.

What it does:

📊 Live Dashboard — Real-time CPU, memory, battery, storage, network speed, and device info. Tap any card to dive into detailed stats with history charts.

🎥 Picture-in-Picture Monitoring — This is the feature I'm most proud of. You can float a live CPU or network speed monitor on top of any app using system-level PiP (think YouTube mini-player, but for system metrics). Surprisingly few iOS apps do this.

🧰 16+ Built-in Tools — Flashlight (7 modes!), compass, GPS, altimeter, barometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, decibel meter, QR code generator, password generator, ping tool, weather, color tools, haptic feedback tester, multi-touch tester, and more.

🧩 10+ Home Screen Widgets — CPU, memory, storage, temperature, uptime, weather (with hourly/daily forecast), clock, quick actions, device info. Small / Medium / Large sizes.

🌍 18 Languages — Fully localized.

Tech Stack:

- SwiftUI (pure declarative UI)

- RevenueCat for subscriptions (freemium model)

- Apple WeatherKit, CoreMotion, CoreLocation, AVFoundation

- DGCharts for history charts

- App Groups for Widget data sharing

- PiP via AVPictureInPictureController + AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer (rendering SwiftUI views into video frames — this one was fun to figure out)

Why I built this: I wanted a single app that could tell me everything about my device at a glance, plus replace the half-dozen single-purpose utility apps I kept installing and deleting. Also, I was curious how far I could push PiP and Widget capabilities on iOS.

The app is free to download with core features unlocked. Pro unlocks widgets, PiP, weather, and all tools.

Would love to hear your feedback — especially on the PiP implementation and the overall UX!
