iOS Bunpro Widget - Proof of Concept

Kyle in the other thread made an Android Widget and some folks asked whether it’s possible in iOS.

In fact, it is possible in iOS with a lot of cumbersome setup. One would need to set up iOS Shortcuts, Toolbox Pro (for certain sorting tasks) and Charty – to generate charts widgets in iOS.

Here is the result:

I haven’t tested how well this updates so I’ll report back tomorrow and share the Shortcut

Unfortunately this doesn’t work as reliably as I want it to be:

  1. It seems that the API key generated in the Settings will NOT work, so I had to manually inspect the one transmitted via Bunpro’s official website, but even then it works only for a few days.
  2. It requires two additional apps to provide iOS shortcut actions that would make it work: 1. Charty and 2. Toolbox Pro (for sorting).
  3. Using built-in iOS automation, it updates once daily, but not realtime.

It’s likely much better to develop an iOS app with the widget, but that’s a bit much.

In any case, here’s the Shortcut if anyone’s interested: Shortcuts
