Already have widgets implemented in my app working with UIKit but I would like to know the requirements needed to support multiple versions of OS versions

Should I need a UIKit widget extension for versions iOS 13 or lower and a separate extension for WidgetKit & SwiftUI?

Thanks in advance

With iOS 14 (with the first beta of course) the Today Extensions get disabled. They are only supported in iOS 13 and below.

If you want to continue supporting some kind of widget, you will need to create a new Extension using WidgetKit and ship it too.

I have been wondering the same thing. When you create the new widget with WidgetKit, do you also keep the old widget for older iOS versions? From the info I find they are completely separate, but I might be missing something major here....
