Answer 1

I'm not sure if I got you right, but I'll give the solution from what I know.

1. I created a model that contains a list of gif images (10 images)
2. I store the index of that array as a global variable and increment it every 1 second.
3. I reload the widget every 1 second

Below is an example

func getTimeline(for configuration: GifCartoonIntent, in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<GifCartoonEntry>) -> ()) {
    
    var gifModel: GIFModel!
    if let selected = GlobalData.shared.gifCartoonModels.first(where: {$0.image == configuration.models?.identifier}) {
        gifModel = selected
    } else {
        gifModel = model
    }
    
    let index = getGIFIndex(gifModel.total)
    let entry = GifCartoonEntry(date: Date(), model: gifModel, index: index)
    
    let timeline = Timeline(entries: [entry], policy: .never)
    DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 1, execute: {
        completion(timeline)
        WidgetCenter.shared.reloadTimelines(ofKind: WidgetKindType.gifCartoonWidget.rawValue)
    })
}
