Create live communication experiences

A Podkey summary of Create live communication experiences, from WWDC 2026.Today’s big theme is Apple’s newer LiveCommunicationKit and why it’s quickly becoming the thing real-time communication apps need to move to. The interesting part isn’t just that it replaces older call APIs. It changes how calls show up across the system, how apps describe conversations, and how much of the call experience can stay in sync without a lot of duplicated glue code. There are also some very practical gotchas here, especially around VOIP push timing, call merging, and making sure features like Recents and Siri actually work the way users expect.Why the migration mattersHow conversations are modeledCapability-driven controlsThe very strict PushKit deadlineLifecycle and state handlingOne delegate to rule the call flowMerging group conversationsRecents, Spotlight, and SiriThis podcast was created with Podkey.
