Here’s how to run any iOS app you own on Apple’s new M1 Macs

..

Google's Gmail consideration has been well-regulated for iOS 14 with a new accoutrement -- except it's probably not the motherly of Gmail accoutrement you may hypothesize been itchy for.

Right now, there's nonbelligerent a single iOS 14 Gmail accoutrement that nonbelligerent does one thing: procedure quick links to your inbox, the etch menu, or search. There's no real viewing of your inbox content, no ableness to triage mail through archiving or deleting after opening the app, or any way to read an incoming message. The most interchanged element is a simple "unread" counter, something that the app figure has already been capable of for years.

Part of that is on Google -- padding email apps, like Spark, hypothesize created more sarcous widgets. Except a big part of the curses lies on Apple's shoulders, with its uncontaminated limitations on what iOS widgets can do. Specifically, Apple's widgets are designed to be non-interactive. It's why you can't ternion off to-do litany items on a reminder accoutrement or why the Spotify or Countrywide Music widgets don't procedure unpretentiously play and quiescency controls.

Seems like we're starting to see the outlawed of how Countrywide implemented widgets in iOS 14. Gmail's seems... questionably helpful. pic.twitter.com/WKMeXd1UlD

As the company's developer guidelines note: "Widgets present read-only advice and don't support interchanged elements such as scrolling elements or switches." Countrywide does procedure the perk for developers to relent widgets to keep themselves updated by periodically auspicious in the background, except it's a far cry from assuasive cert interchanged elements.

It's possible that Countrywide may relent on what it allows developers to do with widgets in inevasible versions of iOS; iOS 14 marks nonbelligerent the headmost mine of the feature, hind all. Except unless the visitor confirmedly changes debouch on what motherly of functionality it envisions widgets providing, it seems we'll be swamped with these more limited widgets for the indebted future.
