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.

How to develop Complications for Watch 8.0 and earlier in Xcode 15

I am receiving an error message trying to connect an apple watch to my phone. Error message reads: Could not sign in Operation throttled by server. Retry after 3599 seconds (other operations may be allowed) Has anyone experienced this error message before and know how to resolve it? Apple Watch SE

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.

Hi, sorry if the sentence is wrong as I am using the translate function. I am looking to create an AR application using Nearby Interaction and ARkit. The devices to be used are iPhone 15pro and apple watch 9. The iPhone implementation will measure the distance to the apple watch while simultaneously using AR to track images. The apple watch implementation will only measure the distance to the iPhone. Is it possible to implement this feature? If you know of any, I would like to know.

Hi, I have been testing an Apple Watch only app on simulator wth no issues. Decided today to try on a device.

I have an NFC door, but I always have to enter a pin, and I have thought, "Can I unlock this using an NFC on my Apple Watch, Apple AirTag, or iPhone, since they all use NFC?" It seems it would save so much time, yet I do not know if there is an app/program that I could use, much less how to program it to trigger. Please reply if you have a response.

Hello, i have turned off the Auto-Launch Audio Apps on Ultra Watch but each time i play music on Car Play, the player is mirrored to the watch. can you please advise? thanks

Hi, I'm deploying my app to the store for the last several year. I have a Watch app. No matter what I do, I get the next warning above my version information screen for each new build: You’re currently using Apple Watch Series 3 screenshots for your latest watch build. Adding screenshots for the newest devices can help you accurately represent your app’s user experience on the App Store Although I take the screenshots on a real Watch series 9. Does anyone know how I solve it?

I've encountered a significant sync issue with watchOS 10 RC on every device combination I've tested, running both iOS 17 and watchOS 10. I'm curious if others have noticed a similar problem. Context: Standalone watchOS app developed in SwiftUI with a companion iOS app. Both apps use NSPersistentCloudKitContainer for bi-directional CloudKit CoreData Sync between the iOS app and watch. Previously, this sync mechanism was near instant in the foreground and took max 1-2 minutes in the background NSPersistentCloudKitContainer has been reliable since the app was first developed in the watchOS 6/iOS 13 era. Issue: In watchOS 10 RC, sync can take hours--and doesn't even occur when the app is in the foreground. Sync only reliably happens when the watch is placed on the charger, seemingly only if the charge is over 50%. Once taken off the charger, the watch will continue push and receive CoreData changes briefly before becoming unresponsive to sync again. Additional Info: The problem persists even when recompiled with the latest Xcode RC. It's problem is consistent in both production and development CloudKit environments. The CloudKit log shows no watch activity upon CoreData object updates, until placed on the charger (with over 50% charge). The sync starts in the background while the watch is charging. The iOS app, however, reflects immediate activity in the CloudKit log after a CoreData change from the device and reacts promptly to pushes when they eventually occur from the watch. The NSPersistentCloudKitContainer code hasn't changed since it was implemented. Background modes for remote notifications are set correctly, and when sync finally happens, it's accurate. I'm stumped. Perhaps there's a new watchOS 10 setting affecting CloudKit sync QoS? Or could this be a known watchOS 10 RC bug?

Hi. I am pairing my Apple Watch Series 3 to my iPhone running ios 17. The pairing is successful but unable to proceed with the set up because an update is needed to be downloaded first. I updated the os for watch but I keep on getting “Unable to Check for Update - Checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the internet”. I am definitely connected to the internet. No other iphone is paired. I've tried all solutions proposed in the forum but none worked..

Hi. I am pairing my Apple Watch Series 5 to my iPhone running ios 14. The pairing is successful but unable to proceed with the set up because an update is needed to be downloaded first. I updated the os for watch but I keep on getting “Unable to Check for Update - Checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the internet”. I am definitely connected to the internet. Watch was reset to factory defaults and I am now pairing it as a new device but it fails due to the issue mentioned above.

have a watchOS app and it’s iOS counterpart in the AppStore. For now, my app support iOS 15 and watchOS 8. The next version will make a huge step forward and only supports iOS 17 and watchOS 10. I have a question : If someone has an iPhone on iOS17 and a watch on watchOS 8, will the AppStore update the app ? It will be incompatible as the new iOS app won’t work with the old watchOS one. I hope the AppStore won’t propose the update in this case to avoid impacting users with a modern iPhone and an old Apple Watch who can continue with the previous app version. What’s your advice ?

I faced the problem that I could not enable notifications for an app that works only on the apple watch. When a modal window appeared asking for permission to send notifications, I declined it. Now I can't find where to enable them.

In WatchOS 6 a presented .sheet could be dismissed by swiping down or tapping on the navigationBarTitle. In the WatchOS 7 beta, presented sheets are no longer dismissible by either method...forcing the addition of a button to dismiss. It appears as if .sheet is now acting as .fullScreenCover within WatchOS 7. Anyone else running into this? Wondering if this is now expected behavior on WatchOS or if it's a bug...

Related to this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/737819 I can confirm (again) that GPS performance on the watch Ultra (and likely all watches on watchOS 10) had been severely degraded. Here is a swim that I did with both an Apple Watch Series 4 on watchOS 9 (green track) and a watch Ultra on watch OS 10.1 (blue track). While the Series 4 provides relatively accurate data, the Watch Ultra provides very poor data with criss crossing paths and ridiculous data points. Apple did respond to my feedback with the usual request for sysdiagnose but this has not progressed. FB13192409
