@jpudysz Thank you for this, i was stuck on this for a good long while, this solved it for me!

Have you tried to make the intents call React natives EventEmitter, in order to call methods directly instead of using notification center for communication?

@erlinghaugstad did you ever figure it out?

Yes i did. I had to patch the file even further to add m files to the files included by the bacons apple target:

And also add placeholder files to my widget xcproj: https://www.reactnative.university/blog/live-activities-interactions#resolving-xcode-issues-with-an-intent-placeholder.

Hope that helps you along @julian-gargicevich!
