Hi, Currently I'm working on Apple Watch ui testing using XCTest and I need to interact with Apple Watch's Home screen in order to perform different actions with complications. As I know from my iOS experience, Home Screen can be by using bundle id "com.apple.springboard". I need something similar but for watchOS.

the specifics are pretty straight forward we just need to the code to get HRV in realtime and pasively like the zendo app in the app store https://github.com/zendotools/zendo but that github doesnt compile. on the watch i can get the Heart rate to update but not hear rate variability. I need it in real time while the user is looking at his watch and passively throught out the day,.

I am just looking for the native watchOS applications bundle ids. For example: for iPhone: "com.apple.news" and what is for Watch: ??? I tried "com.apple.news.watchkitapp" which doesn't work. Maybe someone know how to help me?

Hi, guys I am writing UI tests for Apple Watch using XCTest and I need to interact with Apple Watch Home Screen and with elements on it. I know that "com.apple.springboard" could be used to interact with iPhone's Home Screen, what about Apple Watch? Thank you!

I recently tried to connect my Apple Watch (series 3) to my iPhone (13). Before it connects it says I need to update it and I try to but it says that I need to connect to the internet even though I am and it won’t let me continue.

I'm stuck in a loop. Maybe someone else can point me in the right direction ? I'm having issues with Bluetooth device. Developer Admin says call regular tech support. But they will not handle beta. I'm glad the forums are here, but where is the PROPER place to ask ?

I have 2 apple watch series 3 and after factory reset, during pairing its showing "Unable to check for update" checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the internet I am able to connect connect and update my another watch Series 4 on all my iphones with same network even tried with different network or mobile data getting same error in all my iPhones its very frustrating, please suggest how to resolve this issue

I have an Apple Watch series 2 which is on OS 6.2 and an iPhone on iOS 15.3.1 The Apple Watch doesnt appear to be transferring any data to Apple Health. The phone data is showing and the watch is showing as paired within the My Watch Tab on the Watch App . is this just due to not being compatible?

Hello there, I applied for a fall detection entitlement request a few days back but didn't receive any update from Apple yet. If anyone can tell me the duration of time taken by Apple to give an update regarding this request, please reply to this question. Thanks

In all the years of developing for the Apple Watch, the process of trying to run my app on a physical watch or simulator through Xcode is still an absolute nightmare. I probably waste hours each day trying to get my app running. Either the watch doesn't show as paired in Xcode, or it's stuck setting the watch up for development, or it says it's running but Xcode just hangs, or it just doesn't show up in Xcode at all. I have to do so many combinations of restarting my watch, my iPhone, my Mac to try and get it working again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I just give up for the day. Once I get it running I may have 5 times the app will start properly before going back to not running. When trying to use the simulator the watch keeps coming unpaired with the iPhone and won't run. And it's not possible to use Xcode with an iPhone that has multiple Apple Watches paired to it, which is annoying because I can't have one dedicated watch for testing. I just don't understand after all these years Apple Watch development just keeps getting worse and worse. I'm almost ready to just drop my Watch app completely, it's just not worth the headache we go through trying to develop it.

I woke up and my watch face was not loading, with a spinning dotted circle. I researched and one suggestion said to unpair the watch from my phone and repair it. So, i unpaired it from my iphone and now it’s frozen with just the apple logo. i can’t access the watch or anything now it is just frozen. What do i do?

I developed an independent Apple Watch that can access network resources on its own using NSURLSession without going through the iPhone. This works fine if the iPhone is on, but if I turn the iPhone off it is not able to connect. Why does my app lose network connectivity when the iPhone is off even though it's a standalone app and the Watch is connected to my WIFI? Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? It appears that no apps work with the internet when the iPhone is off. WIFI is enabled and connected to my WIFI network under the Settings on the watch

We've added a watch app extension in the developed iOS application source code. When we're selecting and running the watch application target, We're getting this application installation error with an alert: Could not attach to pid : “11996” attach failed ((os/kern) invalid argument) This alert is coming only on M1 chip-based Mac systems. But the same code is running well on Intel-based Mac systems. Any help from anyone is highly appreciable. Thank you.

I have an iPhone 11 and using the Apple Watch app I get to the point where it checks for updates and verifies the watch is on the latest version. From there it does not progress the pairing further. I have done all the resetting and reinstalling mentioned on other forums with no luck.

I am using WatchConnectivity to send messages between my swift iPhone / watch app. When I receive a message on the iPhone, from the watch, I need to jump to the main thread. The problem is; when the iPhone is in an inactive/not running state it never seems to complete that action. The iPhone receives the message, but when it tries to dispatchQueue.main.async{} , it seems to time out. The code inside .async{} never gets called. Here’s the code where it receives the message on the iPhone: func session(_ session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage message: [String : Any]) { print("Message recieved: ", message) // We always make it to at least here, no matter what state the application is in. DispatchQueue.main.async { // This code is never called if the app is in an inactive/not running state. // Do something... } }

I have a watch app which communicates with the iPhone app fine. But when running the WCSession from the Intent extension (used for Siri) I'm getting following in the console logs: Error Domain=WCErrorDomain Code=7018 "Companion app is not installed." Can the Watch Intent extension communicate with iPhone app - if so how can I enable it?

Is anyone able to answer any of these questions? There's very little information on them on Apple's website and I am struggling to find information about them online in relation to the Apple Watch. What exactly are gravity and quaternion? How are they being calculated (I'm assuming some kind of sensor fusion between the accelerometer and gyroscope)? What are the units of gravity and quaternion?

Hi, Is there any way to get some stats about the usage of a (standalone) watchOS app in the appstore connect console like active devices, downloads or crashs? Apple Watch as a device or WatchOS stats are missing. It would be nice if I could get some stats for the monthly reports. Thanks in advance, Ben

So I've had an Apple Watch series 3 for a while, I notice that after I don't use it for a few months it unpairs with my phone but my watch doesn't register that and just shows the data from when it was last paired. I got a new phone recently and found that I should factory reset the watch. I did that and now when I try to set up the watch, I have to install the watch's software update before I continue setting up or else it cancels it. When I try to install it, it claims that it can't search for updates because I'm not connected to the internet, when I'm connected to both wifi and cellular data. I'm on IOS 15.2 right now and I don't know what the watch was on before.
