I'm very excited about the new AirTag product and am wondering if there will be any new APIs introduced in iOS 14.5+ to allow developers to build apps around them outside the context of the Find My network?

The contexts in which I am most excited about using AirTags are:

Gaming
Health / Fitness-focused apps
Accessibility features
Musical and other creative interactions within apps

I haven't been able to find any mention of APIs. Thanks in advance for any information that is shared here.

Also interested in this. I was also looking at the UWB beacons suggested by @estimote a few months ago, but I can't believe the real AirTag does not have APIs yet?

This is a fairly old thread so not sure if any new info but I did manage to create a nice app for what you are suggesting. Message me for a demo if you like. Rob

I have a good use case for this. If Rob, or someone else, has made some progress, I would like to chat.
