| 196 | +} |
| 197 | +``` |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +## Usage Examples |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +### Basic Widget Manager Setup |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +```swift |
| 204 | +import WidgetDevelopmentKit |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +// Initialize widget manager |
| 207 | +let widgetManager = WidgetDevelopmentManager() |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +// Configure widget settings |
| 210 | +let widgetConfig = WidgetConfiguration() |
| 211 | +widgetConfig.enableHomeScreenWidgets = true |
| 212 | +widgetConfig.enableLockScreenWidgets = true |
| 213 | +widgetConfig.enableLiveActivities = true |
| 214 | +widgetConfig.enableDynamicIsland = true |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +// Start widget manager |
| 217 | +try await widgetManager.start(with: widgetConfig) |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +// Configure data integration |
| 220 | +try await widgetManager.configureDataIntegration(DataIntegrationConfiguration()) |
| 221 | +``` |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +### Widget Registration |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +```swift |
| 226 | +// Create widget |
| 227 | +let widget = HomeScreenWidget( |
| 228 | + kind: "com.company.app.widget", |
| 229 | + configuration: widgetConfig |
| 230 | +) |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +// Register widget |
| 233 | +let widgetID = try await widgetManager.register(widget) |
| 234 | +print("✅ Widget registered with ID: \(widgetID)") |
| 235 | +``` |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +### Widget Data Updates |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +```swift |
| 240 | +// Fetch widget data |
| 241 | +let data = try await widgetManager.fetchData(for: widgetID) |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +// Update widget with new data |
| 244 | +try await widgetManager.updateWidget(widgetID, with: data) |
| 245 | +``` |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +### Widget Analytics |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +```swift |
| 250 | +// Get widget analytics |
| 251 | +let analytics = try await widgetManager.getAnalytics(for: widgetID) |
| 252 | +print("Widget views: \(analytics.viewCount)") |
| 253 | +print("Widget interactions: \(analytics.interactionCount)") |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +// Get performance metrics |
| 256 | +let metrics = try await widgetManager.getPerformanceMetrics(for: widgetID) |
| 257 | +print("Average load time: \(metrics.averageLoadTime)s") |
| 258 | +print("Memory usage: \(metrics.memoryUsage)MB") |
| 259 | +``` |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +## Error Handling |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +The Widget Development Manager uses comprehensive error handling for all operations: |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +```swift |
| 266 | +enum WidgetDevelopmentError: Error { |
| 267 | + case initializationFailed(String) |
| 268 | + case widgetRegistrationFailed(String) |
| 269 | + case widgetUpdateFailed(String) |
| 270 | + case dataFetchFailed(String) |
| 271 | + case configurationInvalid(String) |
| 272 | + case widgetNotFound(WidgetID) |
| 273 | + case operationNotSupported(String) |
| 274 | +} |
| 275 | +``` |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +## Best Practices |
