Check the event toggle and global permission

A timed mark is eligible during its final 24 hours or while the event is in progress. A longer date-only wait belongs on a widget instead.

  1. Open the countdown editor and confirm Include a target time is enabled with the correct date and zone.
  2. Turn on Show this mark as a Live Activity for that mark.
  3. In Daymark Settings, check Allow Live Activities.
  4. Review Daymark's Live Activity permission in iPhone Settings if the system exposes it.
  5. Check the final-24-hour window or the event's in-progress span.
  6. Inspect the Lock Screen separately from Dynamic Island, then record any missing surface.

Keep official schedule alerts alongside Daymark

Do not move the event merely to force a Live Activity test. Keep important travel or venue alerts in the official provider app. Daymark does not fetch schedule changes and does not guarantee that a visible activity means the original booking is still current.

An enabled toggle is not proof of an active system surface

iOS controls the lifecycle and a user can dismiss the activity. Dynamic Island requires a supporting iPhone model. The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island are not interchangeable tests. Keep the real target unchanged while investigating.
