Adaptation process of Smart Island: Apple requires the software not to advertise on Smart Island

The new Smart Island function is exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, but the fitness of third-party software is not perfect at present, and only a few pieces of software can be adapted. Therefore, we are very concerned about the adaptation and transformation process of related software. According to the latest news, Apple will open Smart Island to third parties on iOS 16.1, but Apple requires that the software not advertise on Smart Island.
