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

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?
I'm having an issue where the complications for my app aren't syncing to the watch if you add them from the Watch app on iOS.
However if you add them from the watch itself they work on the watch, but don't show on the iOS Watch app.
I'm using getLocalizableSampleTemplate(for:withHandler:) to generate the complication templates. I'm not including a complication bundle or static images since it appears that this is not needed anymore according to the docs.
The templates show fine on both the watch and iOS Watch app, they just don't show up on the watch if added from the iOS Watch app and vice versa. If I add a new watch face and then add the complications to it and try to set it as the default watch face from the iOS app it will set it on the watch, but doesn't have any of the complications.
If I load up the Console app and look at the iPhone system logs I can see it trying to send the watch face with the correct complication descriptors, but nothing happens on the watch itself. If I use a simulator it doesn't even sync any of the watch faces until I reboot the watch sim.
One final note, the watch portion of the app has not been released in the App store before. This is a new addition to an already released app. Not sure if that could be part of the issue, but just thought I should include it.
I'm at a loss here, any help would be appreciated.

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.

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 have one user that is getting some very odd behavior for one of my complications.
The complication will work fine for a little bit, but then gets into a state where when the watch is asleep it is displaying correctly and then when the watch wakes up it's the default dashed out view with the app name.
This is happening on a Watch Series 5 with cellular that is on the latest WatchOS (8.5). It was also happening on 8.4.2.
All of the other complication types work perfectly fine on their watch. It is just this specific one, which other than the way the view is laid out is no different than the others under the hood. They all share the same data.
The problem complication uses CLKComplicationTemplateGraphicRectangularFullView and the only thing I can think of is that maybe there is an issue with support on the Series 5. Though I have no evidence to support this theory since there isn't any helpful log messages.
Testers on Series 6 and Series 7 report zero problems with this complication.
I have added in a special view for when this complication fails for whatever reason, at least whatever reason I can capture and it is never displayed. It just shows the generic Apple dashed out view. So it seems something else is going wrong under the hood.
Any and all help would be much appreciated.

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,
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.

Hi there,
I am wondering how to prevent animation of the Workout complication (the running guy on the main Apple Watch screen).
Is there a way to prevent this in Swift when starting a Workout Session ?

Hi,
As the title says... Is there any API or code to keep the screen on the Apple Watch to truly remain ALWAYS on? with no dimming whatsoever... even when the watch screen is passed its wake duration... is it possible to keep the app in an always active state?

Hello,
I am trying out the new Watch Complications in WidgetKit and I am stuck on the widget '.accessoryCorner'.
Unfortunately, I can't find a way to create a curved text as shown in the image in the upper left corner ('HON').
Using the '.widgetLabel' does insert a curved label in the second line, but the text above it in the first line remains horizontally arranged.
Has anyone found a solution for this yet?
Thanks for the help

I have a simple complication-only app called Roughly, which shows the approximate time in words, to the nearest five minutes, in a choice of languages. It's been on the store for several years, and it's getting creaky.
This new guide to WidgetKit is making me nervous: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/converting-a-clockkit-app
There's a line buried in there:
watchOS 9 and later no longer shows families like CLKComplicationFamily.circularSmall, CLKComplicationFamily.modularSmall, or CLKComplicationFamily.modularLarge on watch faces.
So... is that the end of all basic complications that haven't been made into Widgets? If so, it would be good to have more clarity on this — I do feel it's easy to miss when things are deprecated.
Thanks for any info!

I'm excited to already have a widget/complication running on watchOS using WidgetKit. It's a great framework! Next, I need to get some settings from my iOS app over to the watch to help configure the widget.
Ideally, I'd like the user to be able to change settings on the iOS app, and have them reflected in the watch widget pretty soon after without having to do anything on the watch.
(From early testing, updateApplicationContext is decent because it can still be sent even when the watch app isn't active, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to wake up to process this incoming data until the user manually opens the app on the watch again. But maybe I've missed something.)
Anyway, what's the best way to do this configuration between phone and watch?

I’m new to iOS development so if anything is wrong with my question or post, please excuse me because I’m writing this in good faith, earnestly. I’m trying to learn to be an iOS developer to make an Apple Watch app to help my elderly dad with his blood pressure so as to prevent harmful falls.
I want to make an app so that every time he stands (he has low blood pressure), his Watch vibrates. The Watch might be in any sort of state, he’s an old guy so who knows how he uses the Watch, but it will be on and he will be wearing it.
I know it would be possible to write an app that vibrates when certain gyroscope / accelerometer conditions are met when the app is active / on the screen. However I need this vibration to happen every time he stands, regardless of what’s happening on his watch.
Is this possible? Thank you in advance. Appreciate any responses.

I could make countdown on watch complication by using [.timer].
However its showing [Hour], [Minute] and [Second], and
I just want to show [Second] instead of [Hour] and [Minute].
Lets say if I set the time with [5 minutes] then
I would like to make it showing [300] instead of [5:00].
So what will be the best code I should write?
Please kindly advise.

I'd like an Image subview of a lock screen widget to render as itself, and not with the multiply-like effect it gets today.
I've tried .widgetAccentable(true) and .widgetAccentable(false), but none have the appearance I'm looking for.
Is there maybe a new modifier that lets me "force" the rendering mode? Hoping there is and it's just not jumping out at me.
Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to build a WatchOS 9 corner complication with WidgetKit (using Xcode 14 beta 3).
I'd like my complication to look like the battery one in the bottom right corner. Here's my view:
struct HydrationProgressCorner: View {
var entry: Provider.Entry
var body: some View {
Text("\((100 * entry.progress / entry.target).rounded(.towardZero).formatted())%")
.widgetLabel {
ProgressView(value: entry.progress, total: entry.target)
.tint(.blue)
.widgetAccentable()
}
}
}
How can I get my text to follow the curvature of the watch face?
