Somewhat rarely, but often enough to be a problem, our live activities will entirely lock up with a frozen progress spinner and a dimmed appearance. We cannot figure out what this spinner means nor how to avoid it as it is not documented anywhere. No logs appear in Xcode nor in Console.app. We have more frequent updates enabled and are sending an update maybe once every 2 minutes, nothing that should cause us to exceed our quota. We cannot reproduce in a debugger

Can we get some guidance on how to avoid this?

Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report, include sample and sysdiagnose, and post the FB number here once you do. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report.

I came across similar issue. We are also using a countdown timer in live activity and dynamic island.

Due to this issue with Text(date, style: .timer) in a dynamic island we leveraged the workaround provided here.

This workaround caused issues in the live activity, mainly caused by the frame modifier on the Text view.

This issue only occurred in dynamic island, so I just stopped using the workaround for our Live Activity and the issue went away

Hope this helps!

Is there any update on this? I'm seeing it too (pretty consistently)

This seems a lot better on iOS 18.1 - possibly a fix went in for this. I am yet to reproduce it.
