Widget without using SwiftUI

Viewed 438

Is it possible to create a widget in iOS 14+ without using SwiftUI? When adding the target it doesn't give you the option between storyboard and SwiftUI like it does when creating a new project. Is it possible to build out a Widget using Storyboard or XIB?

No, it's not possible to create a widget without using SwiftUI. Here's what Apple's documentation says:

To implement a widget, you add a widget extension to your app. You configure the widget with a timeline provider, and use SwiftUI views to display the widget’s content. The timeline provider tells WidgetKit when to update your widget’s content.
