It can read the model is s5 but can't read the version of watchOS and the capability of storage. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hello, I’m currently developing a fitness app for watchOS that lets a user to manually set a desired heart rate target zone (enter numbers representing the lower and upper boundaries) and start a workout (right now it’s only “Other” type). After that my app monitors user’s heart rate and alerts them when they’re out of zone. When user ends the workout, the info about this workout appears on “Fitness” iOS app, and user can see the workout data like Workout Time, Active and Total Calories, Avg. Heart Rate. Also user can see Heart Rate chart with info how their heart rate was changing during a workout (see the Figure 1). Now to the question. When user clicks “Show More” button above the Heart Rate chart, they can see the same Heart Rate chart and another one, with Post-Workout Heart Rate (see the Figure 2). But there is no “Estimated time in each heart rate zone” as one can see in the workout’s details that were recorded from Apple’s workout (watchOS “Workout” app, for a workout of “Other” type as well). Please see the Figure 3. The question is: is it possible to add “Estimated time in each heart rate zone” to workout recorded via my third-party app so it would look like on the Figure 3 in "Fitness" iOS app, and if it's possible, what steps should I undertake to implement this ? Thanks in advance! I posted the screenshots in the replies to the post, because otherwise I was not able to submit a post ("sensitive language" warning, I suspect it's because of the ids in the attached screenshot's urls)

I'm currently working with complication using widgetkit for watchOS. When I select complication from Watch app in iPhone, The complication does not show content. In complication gallery, untitled complication is selecting. But when I select complication from watch, it's OK. This bug occurs in both real device and simulator. But it happen in some pair. Example: watch ultra (os 10.4) pair with iPhone 14 pro (os 17.0): NG watch ultra (os 10.4) pair with iPhone 14 pro (os 16.1): NG watch ultra (os 10.0) pair with iPhone 14 pro (os 17.0): OK I tried create simple project to check this bug. But this bug still occurs This is sample project: Github

None of my existing apps (both in-AppStore and in-development) nor even a brand new WatchOS app can be installed to my Apple Watch. While using Xcode to build and deploy to my Watch, I get this: ”Waiting to reconnect to Apple Watch Xcode will continue when the operation completes.” However, this dialog persists and never completes. I’m running all of the latest: MacOS 14 beta 4, Xcode 15 beta 5, Watch OS 10 beta 4, iOS 17 beta 4. I’ve tried resetting my Watch (with “Erase All” option) and restarting the Mac, the phone and the watch. Any help?

Privacy and Security Settings on Apple Watch requires a screen time passcode, but when I enter the correct passcode, it says its wrong. I need to get into these settings to access developer mode on my watch. If you know how to fix this, please help.

I'm working on an app that has the following structure: MyApp MyWidgetExtension MyWatchKitApp -- MyWatchKitAppExtension ---- MyWatchKitAppWidgetExtension Both MyWidgetExtension and MyWatchKitAppWidgetExtension were developed using a shared MyWidgetBundle defined as follows: @main struct MyWidgetBundle : WidgetBundle However, I'm running into an issue when attempting to run this on devices with iOS 14. I get an error stating "App extensions must define either NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass keys in the NSExtension dictionary in their Info.plist." Interestingly, if I remove MyWatchKitAppWidgetExtension, the app installs just fine. But, if I add NSExtensionPrincipalClass or NSExtensionMainStoryboard, when I try to distribute the app to TestFlight, I receive an error stating "Unexpected key NSExtensionPrincipalClass found in extension Info.plist". I'm at a loss as to how to resolve this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions or insights?

Hello, everyone, I have a problem I'm stuck with and have been trying to solve without success for the past 2 weeks. I am developing a SwiftUI application for Apple Watch which for now I am only running on the simulator. This application has to play sounds but unfortunately so far without success for Apple Watch simulator. When I tap the button on the application running on the Series 9 (45mm) simulator with watchOS 10.2. I cannot hear any sounds on my MacBook Pro. This happens for all Apple Watch simulators I have in my MacBook. The same exact code works on the iPhone 15 simulator with iOS 17.2 and I hear the file 1.mp3 from MacBook Pro speakers and also from bluetooth hearphones, if I connect them. The code is this import SwiftUI import AVFoundation struct ContentView: View { @State var audioPlayer:AVPlayer? @State var isPlaying : Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") Button("Play"){ if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "1", ofType: "mp3") { let fileUrl = URL(fileURLWithPath: path) do{ try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback) try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) audioPlayer = AVPlayer(url: fileUrl) guard let audioPlayer = audioPlayer else { return } audioPlayer.play() } catch { } } } } .padding() } } Thanks for your support!

Is there a bug in this beta version that causes complications show placeholders only. This problem does not exist for watchOS 1.4

The iPhone Target Build Phase for my Apple Watch companion app specifies the source of the Product to embed as: build/Debug-watchos, however, the Watch build is located at build/Debug-watchsimulator. I am receiving an error from Xcode when trying to install the Apple Watch app in the watch simulator, as follows: An application bundle was not found at the provided path. Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle. Failed to install the requested application Domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code: 2 Failure Reason: An application bundle was not found at the provided path. Recovery Suggestion: Provide a valid path to the desired application bundle. I have tried deleting the Watch target and re-adding the target but the misconfiguration remains. I have also tried adding my own Copy Build Phase but when selecting the Product for the Apple Watch companion app the same incorrect folder is used. Any ideas?

Hi, it seems like the wachOS sysdiagnose debug profile is no longer valid and needs to be updated. Any idea to whom we should reach out to get this fixed? I am talking about the profile linked here: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/profiles-and-logs/?platform=watchos Kind regards Alex

Is there a way to access the Core NFC Framework from within a watchOS app?

I am running the watch on watchOS 9 and trying to enable "developer mode" (which requires a restart). However, upon restart, developer mode remains disabled. I tried several times, but developer mode just won't turn on. any thought how to solve?

I'm using the new watchOS 9 HKWorkoutActivity in my interval training app (Intervals Pro) for each interval. It's a great addition since all the intervals now show in the Apple Fitness app, however, if the workout has lots of activities then saving the workout is painfully slow. For example, on my Apple Watch Ultra I saved a workout with 63 activities and it took more than 1 minute. Here's a code snippet: try await builder.endCollection(at: workoutEndDate) try await builder.addMetadata(metadata) try await builder.finishWorkout() // This is SLOW Is anyone else having the same issue? To demonstrate the issue you can look at a Test Flight build of Intervals Pro: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Nn7iSOzY Tap on the More tab in the iPhone app and then the Apple Watch Settings. On that screen you'll see a switch to either enable or disable workout activities. To demonstrate the issue, edit a timer to continue until manually stopped by changing the Number of Cycles to "Until Stopped". Then start the timer on the watch. Let it run for a period of time to create more than 50 intervals, for example, then stop the timer. Swipe to the leftmost screen on the watch, tap pause, then tap end. At that point you'll see how slow the workout saved. Next, you can go back to the iPhone app, disable using workout activities and repeat the test. The workout will save quickly in this case. I've filed a feedback.

I'm using NavigationLink(value:label:) and .navigationDestination(for:destination:) in my SwiftUI watchOS app. However navigating in the app causes the system to emit the following errors to the console: <NavigationHostingControllerCache>: MISS at depth 1 in free stack [NavigationHostingControllerCache_UIKit] <_TtGC7SwiftUI32NavigationStackHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x125015000> containment skipped because sourceNavigationController or destination were nil or sourceNavigationController was equal to destination [NavigationHostingControllerCache_UIKit] Eject called for index: depth 1 in free stack Library: SwiftUI, Subsystem: com.apple.SwiftUI , Category: Invalid Configuration The navigation itself does work fine. I'm wondering there's something I can do to fix it or if this is an internal issue of the SwiftUI framework and cannot be addressed by me? (i.e. I can ignore this)

With the new interactive widgets brought by iOS 17, is it possible to indicate that an action (button tap or toggle use) has been triggered by firing an Haptic feedback to the user?

I noticied that my workout session is sometimes being killed by apple when the app is in the background and it seems that the func workoutSession(_ workoutSession: HKWorkoutSession, didChangeTo toState: HKWorkoutSessionState, from fromState: HKWorkoutSessionState, date: Date) { is only being called when the app comes back into the foreground. I wonder if there is a way for us to get notified when the workout is about to die or has already been killed. Thanks

I recently raised this post explaining how I couldn't seem to get watchOS 9 complications to work, and I've figured out a partial fix. The original post details the issues with complications - and some are still valid - but this fix applies to both my complications and Home Screen / Lock Screen widgets. I was following the various WWDC 2020/2022 videos and the Emoji Rangers sample code, adding bits here and there, and assuming they were completely valid. Sadly, this bit of code in the widget's dynamic intents IntentTimelineProvider getTimeline really just banjaxed everything: // Create entries for one day, 15 minutes apart let currentDate = Date() for minuteOffset in stride(from: 0, to: 60 * 60 * 24, by: 15) { let entryDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .minute, value: minuteOffset, to: currentDate)! entries.append(EventEntry(date: entryDate, event: event)) } If I remove that, and generate a different timeline with specific dates and times (for example: now, in 10 mins, in 2 hours, in a day, etc.) the complications appear correctly, as do Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. The outstanding issues with complications are: The previews all use the same data, but getSnapshot() is supposed to return the data specific to that event from the configuration, i.e. if let theId = configuration.event?.identifier. "Christmas" is correct, but "Gallery Opening" is using Christmas's data. Once I've selected the event I want to use in a complication the edit screen shows it as totally blank, not even a placeholder: I hope this little fix works for you guys. And, if you know how to fix the above issues, let me know. (iOS 16.1 beta 1, Xcode 14.1 beta 1)

Hi, I have a watchOS app that records audio for an extended period of time and because the mic is active, continues to record in background mode when the watch face is off. However, when a call comes in or Siri is activated, recording stops because of an audio interruption. Here is my code for setting up the session: private func setupAudioSession() { let audioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() do { try audioSession.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .default, options: [.overrideMutedMicrophoneInterruption]) try audioSession.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) } catch { print("Audio Session error: \(error)") } } Before this I register an interruption handler that holds a reference to my AudioEngine (which I start and stop each time recording is activated by the user): _audioInterruptionHandler = AudioInterruptionHandler(audioEngine: _audioEngine) And here is how this class implements recovery: fileprivate class AudioInterruptionHandler { private let _audioEngine: AVAudioEngine public init(audioEngine: AVAudioEngine) { _audioEngine = audioEngine // Listen to interrupt notifications NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(handleAudioInterruption(notification:)), name: AVAudioSession.interruptionNotification, object: nil) } @objc private func handleAudioInterruption(notification: Notification) { guard let userInfo = notification.userInfo, let interruptionTypeRawValue = userInfo[AVAudioSessionInterruptionTypeKey] as? UInt, let interruptionType = AVAudioSession.InterruptionType(rawValue: interruptionTypeRawValue) else { return } switch interruptionType { case .began: print("[AudioInterruptionHandler] Interruption began") case .ended: print("[AudioInterruptionHandler] Interruption ended") print("Interruption ended") do { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true) } catch { print("[AudioInterruptionHandler] Error resuming audio session: \(error.localizedDescription)") } default: print("[AudioInterruptionHandler] Unknown interruption: \(interruptionType.rawValue)") } } } Unfortunately, it fails with: Error resuming audio session: Session activation failed Is this even possible to do on watchOS? This code worked for me on iOS. Thank you, -- B.

I am a watchOS 10.0 device, try to open the developer mode, according to the official website to enter the Settings > Privacy > Developer Mode. But I don't see the developer mode option, how do I turn on the developer mode for watchOS 10.0 device?
