Allow third-party apps to create live animated small widgets, matching the capabilities Apple provides for its own Clock app.

Currently, Apple's Clock app features a live animated second hand in its small widget that updates in real-time, but third-party developers cannot access the same APIs to create similar live animations in their small widgets. This creates an unfair advantage for Apple's first-party apps and limits innovation in the widget ecosystem.

Third-party developers should have access to:

• Real-time animation APIs for small widgets
• The ability to update widget content more frequently when appropriate
• The same level of system integration that Apple's own apps enjoy

This would enable:

• More engaging and useful third-party widgets
• Better user experiences across the widget ecosystem
• Fair competition between first-party and third-party apps
• Innovation in widget design and functionality
