It's not just me that the watch doesn't show up in Xcode 15.3, Watch 10.4, iOS 17.4.1, right? In Xcode, the Mac and iPhone are connected and displayed, but only the watch is not working. And when I run the complication app, oddly enough, it prompts to install the app on the iPhone device's watch app? It's really strange, isn't it? But the installation doesn't actually happen. It seems like a funny thing with Apple. Does anyone know when this will be fixed?

Since I installed iOS 17.4.1, my Apple Watch Series 1 no longer shows the media that is playing on my iPhone or Apple TV. Does anyone know anything about it?

How can I implement a feature in my iOS and watchOS app to prompt users to download it when they try to apply a custom watch face shared from my app, as shown in the example image? We're using WidgetKit for Complications.

Hello, I have a TabView containing multiple views where one of them contains a list of items. The digital crown on the apple watch does not allow me to scroll the items in the tabview but only scrolls the list of items. Is there any way to disable that the scrolling of the list is done by the wheel or even a way to prioritize the digital crown to scroll the tabView and not the list? Thanks

Hi, we have an old cordova/phonegap app that we are trying to upload through Transporter, but suddenly we started getting the following error: "Missing Info.plist value. A value for the key “WKApplication”, or “WKWatchKitApp” if your project has a WatchKit App Extension target, is required in “.app/.app” bundle. For details, see:" We don't support Apple Watch and there is no target for Apple Watch, there does not seem to be anything to do with Apple Watch in our XCode project, yet we are getting the above complain. We using the following versions: XCode 15.0 Cordova: 12.0.0 cordova-ios: 6.3.0 There has been no change to our provisioning profile. Any idea why we are getting the above complain?

Today, apple watches are one of the most notable products of the apple company. These smart watches can measure heart rhythm and similar values. In my opinion, there is no obstacle to more advanced software and hardware. I think that information and location can be transferred to the necessary health institutions depending on whether the vital values ​​​​measured by the software of the watches are within certain ranges or not. The person's vital values ​​are measured and if there is an absurd situation, a message in the form of tremors is sent to the person. If there is no response from the user, it can be transferred to the database of the relevant health institution as status and location information.

Hi everyone, We have a sports app that helps track your game scores. Still, when you are in the middle of a game and receive a notification (e.g., an activity notification, a WhatsApp or third-party app), that notification will pop up on the screen, overlapping the app. This forces you to scroll all the way down the notification and close it before you can continue using the app. Some users are complaining about this, and it's indeed very annoying. I was wondering if there's any way to control that during matches, no notifications pop up on your screen (it's ok to have the red dot on top, but having the notification overlapping is what kills the app's usability). Users can avoid this by choosing the right "focus" mode before starting a new match. However, many don't even know this feature exists or how to deal with it. Is there any way to block incoming notifications from appearing on the screen while the app is being executed?

Hi all, I am trying to build an app which, on support Apple Watch's (currently just the Ultra's), will detect when the watch has been submerged and will start to report temperature from the sensor. I have followed the developer articles I could find around CMWaterSubmersionManager and have set up a simple class to interact with it. It is now that I want to run my app and test if it is working as I expect it to etc. However I noticed that the waterSubmersionAvailable is only set to true on physical Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2. This is rather inconvenient as it means that for the next week or so while developing this feature I will have to stick my arm wearing the watch into a container of water to test the feature. Just wondering if there is any easier way to debug this stuff that anyone has figured out? It would be ideal if this could just be done in the simulator similar to how other device conditions can be induced. I did notice the "Enable Easy Submersion" option in the Debug menu, however I could not figure out a difference between having this on or off, and could not find any explanation of what it actually does on the docs. Does anyone have any experience with this either? Any advice would be appreciated, and to any Apple engineers who may see this, please please please add an option to be able to debug this stuff in the Simulator

Hi, I can find no way of getting HKSeriesType.heartbeat() data from the health store using my own workout app. The values captured seem to be from the irregular HRV measurements done by Apple. There is a video showing HKHeartbeatSeriesSamples being consumed in an app but not how to capture them from the optical sensor. The WWDC video on this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77950041/getting-heartbeatseriessamples-in-ios-swift-healthkit-hkanchoredobjectquery at around 28 mins assumes you have written the beats from an external device - not from the optical sensor. I have set typesToRead to be: // Beat addition HKSeriesType.heartbeat(), HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRateVariabilitySDNN)!, // end beat addition Why is the watch app not saving beat to beat interval series to the health store?? Failing that how can the watch app access the data itself so that it can then forward to the companion iPhone app? Help much appreciated.

I'm trying to execute a background task following the Developer Documentation. This is my code import SwiftUI @main struct MyAppTest_Watch_AppApp: App { @Environment(\.scenePhase) var scenePhase let bs = BackgroundSession() @SceneBuilder var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() }.backgroundTask(.appRefresh("prova")) { context in print("bg task") await scheduleTask() } .onChange(of: scenePhase) { phase in switch phase { case .active: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase to ACTIVE") case .inactive: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase Inactive") case .background: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase Background") WKApplication.shared() .scheduleBackgroundRefresh( withPreferredDate: Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: 5 * 60.0), userInfo: "prova" as NSSecureCoding & NSObjectProtocol, scheduledCompletion: schedule) default: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase Default") } } } func scheduleTask() async { bs.testSession() await WKApplication.shared() .scheduleBackgroundRefresh( withPreferredDate: Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: 5 * 60.0), userInfo: "prova" as NSSecureCoding & NSObjectProtocol, scheduledCompletion: schedule) } func schedule(error: Error?) { if error != nil { // Handle the scheduling error. fatalError("*** An error occurred while scheduling the background refresh task. ***") } print("Scheduled!") } } On the simulator the background refresh occurs correctly according to the preferred date and executes the background task, on the real watch it does not. I also set the app as complication in my watch face. The device I'm testing the app on is an Apple Watch Serie 7 with watchOS 10.3. Any idea?

I know it is not a developer question, but getting the answer may help understand what we can get or not get on Apple Watch after Watch10. Since WatchOS10.2 when swiping face, time is always displayed first as 10:09:31 before setting the correct time one second later. Just in the same way as a long press. But the interest of swipe is to have immediately a different face displaying the correct time. Why is it so ? Is it due to (probably) now using SwiftUI ? Or is it a quick fix, reusing most of code for Lon,g press case ? It did not behave so with WatchOS 9 or before. Is there a setting to change ? It is really inconvenient (and ugly). I filed a bug report: FB13466486

Hello!, I am trying out a new standalone app for Apple Watch, I recently downloaded Xcode latest version (I am using a Macbook Pro M2) and despite making it explicit that I don't want an iOS version, this error keeps appearing, not rendering the preview. I also downloaded the WatchOs simulator. Has anybody experienced something like this? I mean, I followed Apple's tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchos-apps/creating-independent-watchos-apps/ Error: == DATE: Saturday, January 20, 2024 at 1:28:09 a.m. Central Standard Time 2024-01-20T07:28:09Z == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: SchemeBuildError: Failed to build the scheme ”timer Watch App” iOS 17.2 Platform Not Installed.

https://developer.android.com/build/configure-app-module#set_the_application_id In Android, you can separate a mobile app and a wearable app into different projects and still enable communication by setting the same applicationId in both project's build.gradle.kts files. Thus, one may upload mobile app and wearable app into google store separately, and yet be able to receive/send messages with each other. Is there a similar approach available for iOS and watchOS apps? I tried separating the watchOS app into a new project and setting its WKCompanionAppBundleIdentifier to the original iOS app's Bundle Identifier. But I'm still encountering errors as below: WCSession counterpart app not installed SessionIsNotReachable Am I missing something, or is this approach not feasible on iOS/watchOS? Also, if it is not feasible, I would like to know why such approach is available on Android, but not on iOS. If it is feasible, correction for my approach, or introduction of a new approach would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to add a watch target in my existing project using XCode 15.1 but I am not able to see any watch simulators for this to run my watch app. I created a small sample project separately where I can see watch simulators reflecting in the run destination. Can somebody please help me to locate which property or setting I need to check which is disabling XCode to show watch simulators? I have downloaded the watch simulator.

I'm trying to add complications to an existing app via the directions of https://developer.apple.com/documentation/clockkit/deprecated_articles_and_symbols/creating_complications_for_your_watchos_app/enabling_complications_for_your_watchos_app however, Xcode 15 does not have "Complications Configuration" in the Project menu so I can't put in the correct info for "Data Source Class" and "Complications Group". Can someone direct me where to go for up to date information regarding how to do this in Xcode 15?

let hotspotConfig = NEHotspotConfiguration(ssid: "SSID", passphrase: "PASSWORD", isWEP: false) hotspotConfig.hidden = true let hotspotMgr = NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared hotspotMgr.apply(hotspotConfig) { error in } This works on the watchos before, but does not work on the latest watchos 10.2, if given incorrect password, the error returns .invalidWPAPassphrase, it's right. However, when given the correct password, the error returns .unknown and no wifi connect request alert shows on the watch. The code works ok on the iPhone, but not works on the watchos.

Hi experts, I got an Ultra2 a while ago and has been using it on walking / running exercise. Recently I came across to this apple site: debug profile and I'm curious about what I would get during the exercise. So I follow the instruction and install the location services profile. After getting the sysdiagnose report, I try to get location related information from it. And it seems that the log from "locationd" and "gpsd" are what I'm looking for. But when I try to look into the nmea information, I found out the sysdiagnose only provide around 10-15 mins of nmea data. For example, let's say I have a walking exercise from 0900 - 1000, but I can only see nmea data from 0945 - 1000. The data from 0900 to 0945 can't be found in the sysdiagnose. Not sure if's the limitation or any setting I can change to increase the logging period? Thanks.
