Just curious if any more progress or information has been made around this topic?
Is it possible to create dynamic wallpapers for iOS 13? Is it something that you are looking into?
Hi, I didn't figure out any way to create that kind of wallpaper for iOS.
Hi, that is exactly what I just tried. Did you make any progress on this? Looking forward to this 🚀
I just know that an app for jailbreaked iPhone can do it DynaWall.
I did small investigation how "dynamic" wallpapers works on iPhone. In iOS 14 folder with single dynamic (light/dark) wallpaper looks like this:
Thus we have here HEIC
file. However when I’ve opened it I saw that it contains only one file, so this file is only for preview purposes in iPhone Settings app. Wallpaper settings we can find in Wallpaper.plist
file:
As you see here we have paths to default
and dark
wallpapers. Unfortunately we cannot send to that kind of wallpaper to the iPhone.
Only workaround of that issue is to use "Shortcuts" app. You can change wallpaper after sunrise/sunset for example.
iOS 13 offers a handful of stock wallpapers that have a specific look for Light Mode and a different look for Dark Mode (similar to what was introduced in macOS Mojave). I am hoping to be able to replicate the behavior in order to create my own iOS Dynamic Wallpapers.
What has already been tried and did not work
.heic
with 2 images, one for Light and one for DarkDynamic.heic
inLibrary/Desktop Wallpapers
) and send it to an iOS 13 deviceI have not been able to find the
.heic
for the stock wallpapers inside of iOS. I would love to get some help finding the original files, decoding it, and then trying to replicate the meta data to see if this can even be done!
