New size limit: Up to 15MB, uncompressed, thinned App Clip bundle (only when iOS 16 is minimum OS)
New Diagnostics tool:
go to Settings.app > App Clips Testing > Diagnostics
insert your app clips URL
the tool will check your URL’s configuration and give you feedback if necessary
CloudKit
New in iOS 16, App Clips can read data and resources stored in a CloudKit public database
To enable CloudKit, go to Signing & Capabilities of your App Clip target, and select the CloudKit container you want your App Clip to use
the public container can be a new one or one shared with the app
Still cannot write data to CloudKit
No private or shared database access
no Cloud documents or key-value store
Keychain migration
Now your App Clip can simply store secure items in the keychain and they will be moved to your app when it’s installed.
There’s no longer need to migrate this data via a shared app group container
