@aaronbrethorst - can you please review it.

[manu-r12]

Hey @aaronbrethorst, if you need any help, just let me know. I'd be happy to volunteer!.

@manu-r12 sorry I didn’t have a chance to review today! It’s at the top of my todo list for tomorrow. Unexpectedly lost childcare all this week so finding time for … well, everything has been a challenge.

[manu-r12]

Hey @aaronbrethorst , no worries at all, life happens, and I totally understand. Please take your time ❤️

[aaronbrethorst]

This is looking really good! I have noted a couple questions and some minor changes. Once you have those sorted out, I'll do a final UI review and we'll get this merged!

Hey @manu-r12 - apologies for not responding sooner. I was having trouble getting the widget to show up in my simulator and thought I was doing something wrong, but after spending an hour reading, troubleshooting, and trying to figure this out, I think something else is going on. Can you give me a detailed set of steps to get the widget to show up?

[manu-r12]

Try searching for the application name; it should appear in the list.
if searching for the application name doesn't work, could you please provide the steps you're following?

@manu-r12 I see the problem: creating a new project from scratch that includes a widget shows:

1. the widget is set as a Target Dependency of the app
2. the widget is embedded into the app

Both of these settings are controlled by adding the Widget target to the list of App's dependencies in Apps/Shared/app_shared.yml

Can you make this change in your branch? Thanks again for your patience! It's been a rather ridiculous month (happy to tell you about it on Slack)

[manu-r12]

Thanks for the clarification Arron 😊

@manu-r12 ok, now we're in business! this is looking good. I need to spend a bit more time testing it on device and then I'll get it merged. thank you for spearheading this!

[aaronbrethorst]

looks good, thanks for your contribution! I can't wait to get it into the App Store :)
