When connecting my iphone (14pro with iOS 17.2.1) with a paired apple watch (series 9 with OS 10.3), it is not showing up on the devices/simulators list in xcode 15.1. Beyond unpairing/repairing the watch, restarting either iphone or watch, connecting/disconnecting the iphone from the computer or deleting xcode and re-installing xcode, any other suggestions? Under the WatchApp field it shows "no eligible device connected", however, under the console the Apple Watch does appear. I have tried just about everything and can't get the watch to appear in Xcode. I am running all this on a MacBook Pro with Sonoma. Thanks for any assistance!

I can't get the simplest Widget to work. I simply want to present the app's icon. It does what it's supposed to do in the simulator but on the actual device it only says "Please adopt containerBackground API" at the place where the Widget would have shown otherwise. I found out that I am supposed to add .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .widget) for no reason at all to make this work. However, when I do that, I just get a gray circle where the app icon was supposed to show. The png files should be fine because again on the simulator it works so I have no idea what I am doing wrong. If someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or if someone can share their Widget class that would be awesome - I literally only want to show my app's icon on the Watch face but I already fail at that, no idea why they made WidgetKit impossible to work with. import SwiftUI import WidgetKit struct IconEntry: TimelineEntry { let date = Date() let icon: Image } struct IconProvider: TimelineProvider { func placeholder(in context: Context) -> IconEntry { return IconEntry(icon: getImageForContext(context, color: false)) } func getSnapshot(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (IconEntry) -> ()) { let entry = IconEntry(icon: getImageForContext(context, color: false)) completion(entry) } func getTimeline(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<Entry>) -> ()) { let entry = IconEntry(icon: getImageForContext(context, color: false)) let timeline = Timeline(entries: [entry], policy: .never) completion(timeline) } } struct IconWidget: Widget { let kind: String = "IconWidget" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: kind, provider: IconProvider()) { entry in IconView() .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .widget) } .supportedFamilies([.accessoryCircular, .accessoryCorner, .accessoryRectangular]) .description(Text("Show the app's icon on a watch face.")) } } struct InlineWidget: Widget { var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: "Inline", provider: IconProvider()) { entry in Text("App Title") .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .widget) } .configurationDisplayName("App Title") .description("Description") .supportedFamilies([.accessoryInline]) } } func getImageForContext(_ context: TimelineProviderContext, color: Bool) -> Image { var fileNameToUse = "iconColor.png" if(!color) { fileNameToUse = "iconAlpha.png" } let displaySize = context.displaySize if(displaySize.width == 0 || displaySize.height == 0) { return Image(uiImage: .init()) } let uiImage = UIImage(imageLiteralResourceName: fileNameToUse).resizeImage(width: displaySize.width, height: displaySize.height) let image = Image(uiImage: uiImage) return image } struct IconView: View { @Environment(\.widgetRenderingMode) var widgetRenderingMode var body: some View { imageFor(widgetRenderingMode) .resizable() .onAppear { print("ICON VIEW \(widgetRenderingMode == .fullColor ? "COLOR" : "ALPHA")") } .containerBackground(Color.clear, for: .widget) } } private func imageFor(_ widgetRenderingMode: WidgetRenderingMode) -> Image { switch widgetRenderingMode { case .fullColor: return Image(uiImage: UIImage(imageLiteralResourceName: "iconColor.png")) default: return Image(uiImage: UIImage(imageLiteralResourceName: "iconAlpha.png")) } } @main struct IconBundle: WidgetBundle { @WidgetBundleBuilder var body: some Widget { IconWidget() InlineWidget() } } extension UIImage { func resizeImage(width: CGFloat, height: CGFloat) -> UIImage { let edgeLength = min(width, height) let newSize = CGSize(width: edgeLength, height: edgeLength) UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0.0) self.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)) if let resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() return resizedImage } else { return UIImage() } } }

The modular ultra watchface ignores the font type I set in my complication. Happens in simulator and on device (see screenshots). I set the font via: .font(.system(size: CGFloat(self.fontSize), weight: self.fontWeight, design: .monospaced)) Can you please help? Is this as designed or a bug? I really a monospaced font in that place. Thanks! Correct: Wrong:

I'm seeing problems with the new Apple Watch Modular Ultra Watch face... This is all using the latest WatchOS 10.1 and with WidgetKit complications. (Have also tested with the new WatchOS 10.2 beta in the simulator) The Graphic Circular (accessoryCircular) complications space the numbers differently sometimes causing maximum and minimum numbers to look like one long number (see small circular complications in screenshot) The exact same complication in the accessoryRectangular on the Modular Ultra face clips text when it doesn't on any other watch face I've filed feedback FB13344580 Hopefully the screenshots show the issue well.

I am trying to add Widget Complications to an existing Apple Watch app. I added the WatchOS widgets extension and followed instructions to create static, non-updating complications to merely launch the app from the watch home screen. Here is my code in the widget extension: import WidgetKit import SwiftUI struct Provider: TimelineProvider { func getSnapshot(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (SimpleEntry) -> Void) { } func getTimeline(in context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<SimpleEntry>) -> Void) { } func placeholder(in context: Context) -> SimpleEntry { SimpleEntry(date: Date()) } func snapshot(in context: Context) async -> SimpleEntry { SimpleEntry(date: Date()) } } struct SimpleEntry: TimelineEntry { let date: Date } struct TrapScores_WidgetsEntryView : View { @Environment(\.widgetFamily) var widgetFamily var entry: Provider.Entry var body: some View { switch widgetFamily { case .accessoryCorner: ComplicationCorner() case .accessoryCircular: ComplicationCircular() case .accessoryRectangular: Text("TrapScores") case .accessoryInline: Text("TrapScores") @unknown default: //mandatory as there are more widget families as in lockscreen widgets etc Text("AppIcon") } } } @main struct TrapScores_Widgets: Widget { let kind: String = "TrapScores_Complications" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: kind, provider: Provider()) { entry in TrapScores_WidgetsEntryView(entry: entry) .containerBackground(.fill.secondary, for: .widget) } .configurationDisplayName("TrapScores") .description("This will launch TrapScores App") .supportedFamilies([.accessoryCorner, .accessoryCircular]) } } struct ComplicationCircular: View { var body: some View { Image("Graphic Circular") .widgetAccentable(true) .unredacted() } } struct ComplicationCorner: View { var body: some View { Image("Graphic Circular") .widgetAccentable(true) .unredacted() } } #Preview(as: .accessoryCircular) { TrapScores_Widgets() } timeline: { SimpleEntry(date: .now) } The complications appear fine in the preview: The complication can be added to the watch face, but no graphic comes with it and it is a blank circle: Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

2 years ago using Xcode 13, I created a phone app with a companion Watch app and it worked fine. This past month using Xcode 15, I created a new phone and companion app and everything is working with the following exception. From Xcode, my new app installs on the phone and watch, but my Watch app doesn't show up in the list of apps you can use as a launch complication on one of your watch faces. The app does show up in the launch screen for apps installed on the watch, so I assume the watch icon is generated properly. I started out using a single 1024x1024 app icon so I thought maybe I needed to create all variations of the icon before I'd see them as a complication option. I created all variations and loaded them in the Appicon asset. Still no luck. the one major difference between my Xcode 13 and Xcode 15 projects is the 15 project includes one watch app, where the 13 project includes the watch app and a WatchKit extension. my understanding is Xcode 14 and 15 don't use WatchKit Extension. So... what do I need to do to be able to add my Xcode 15 watch app icon to a watch face so I can launch the app from there?

I'm developing my app for WatchOS 10 with Xcode 15.0.1. I'm trying to make a complication with WidgetKit (SwiftUI) to make it easier the user to launch the app. I'm using a simple and small image 50x50px to test it first. But when I try to add to the Watch Face, it show a gray circle like there is nothing there. But when i'm editing the Watch Face it show the image :/, like the image bellow: And another problem is when is Accent mode, it fills the image with a gray color, as the image above shows it. I tryed to add monochrome png image with the alpha-channel, but even that didn't worked too. And my code is simpler has that: var body: some View { Image("Cat") } Someone is facing this same problem? Has any possible solution.

I’m trying to create complications für the Watch using the new WidgetKit. While the complications do show up fine in the preview in Xcode and also in the Simulator, on a real device the complications do never shown anything. The complications are listed and can be selected in the watch face settings, but the preview is always black, and when added to a watch face, it shows nothing. I can tap on this „nothing“ and the App launches, so the complication is actually there. But it doesn’t show anything. This is also true for the Watch App on the iPhone, which lets me add the complications to a watch face, but it also shows nothing. But in the Simulator everything works as expected, the complications show their content just fine. So it looks like the code is fine. The iPhone runs the iOS 16.1, and the watch runs watchOS 9.1 (right now the latest public releases) Does anyone having the same issue and maybe a solution or a hint, what exactly I should check?

Just finalising some work on my app update, and it seems that when you go to select an item to show in a complication, when you select your app in the list, the subsequent list only shows 15 of your items. If a user of my app has transferred 20 items to their Watch, they can't select five of them to be shown in a complication. Is that right? If that's a hard limit then I need to be able to separate them out into bunches of 15 items, or maybe have them display under A-E, F-J etc. Does this have to be done as a separate Widget in the WidgetBundle? And how do I do that? Given that I currently have one widget in that bundle that should show everything (20 items), how would I split it out to show an "A-E" widget with those items beginning with A...E? Do I have to have an A-E widget with its own set of data?

I'm trying to find the best way to reload my Widgets and Complications. My App tries to show the current status vehicles. It gets the data using an API. And you don't know when this status changes. So I need to know when it makes sense to reload the widgets and complications. Here is a quote from the documentation: A widget’s budget applies to a 24-hour period. WidgetKit tunes the 24-hour window to the user’s daily usage pattern, which means the daily budget doesn’t necessarily reset at exactly midnight. For a widget the user frequently views, a daily budget typically includes from 40 to 70 refreshes. This rate roughly translates to widget reloads every 15 to 60 minutes, but it’s common for these intervals to vary due to the many factors involved. This is by far the worst "definition" if ever seen :( There is a 24 period, but you don't know when it starts and you don't know how much max refreshes you have and you also don't know how many refreshes you have left. How should someone develop a good solution with such a "definition"? So, I would like to know how you handle this? Perhaps a Apple engineer could light me up here :)

Hello, I try to add a couple of Complications to my App. Most of the Complications needs to be Configurable, so I use an IntentConfiguration for them. I use this recommendations function to create my complications.     func recommendations() -> [IntentRecommendation<ConfigurationIntent>] {         var recommendations = [IntentRecommendation<ConfigurationIntent>]()        for vehicle in vehicleStatusList {             let intent = ConfigurationIntent() intent.vehicleItem = VehicleItem(identifier: vehicle.id, display: vehicle.name)             recommendations.append(IntentRecommendation(intent:  intent, description: vehicle.name))         }         return recommendations     } But with this I get the result from the screenshot... How can I change this to get a better User Experience? When I click one item in the List, I get a correct Complication. But it would be nice to have a change to name them correctly... The first in the List is a StaticConfiguration...

Prior to watchOS10, I marked a view that I want to hide sensitive information when not being worn by using .privacySensitive() This had been working just fine. Comes watchOS10, this doesn't work anymore. Even with this simple code Text("TEST Privacy") .containerBackground(for: .widget) { Color.black } .privacySensitive() The text view is displayed even when not being worn. Has anyone experienced this? It seems like a bug to me. Any workaround? Thank you.

Current project structure: Main iOS app (targets iOS 17). Widget Extension (targets iOS 17). Watch app (targets watchOS 10). Complications Extension (a Widget Extension, targets watchOS 10). I did have the complications embedded within the Watch app, but you cannot have two @mains in the same target so the complications are in their own WidgetKit extension. Sadly, when you add a WidgetKit extension to your project, Xcode ALWAYS sets it as an iOS widget extension; it doesn't give you the choice to make it a watchOS extension so you have to figure it out yourself. Now, I'm hitting an issue where the main iOS app works fine, the iOS widgets work fine, the Watch app runs fine, but the complications dot show up anywhere. I can't preview them in Xcode because it says various things like: This app was not built to support this device family; app is compatible with ( 1,2 ) but this device supports ( 4 } I can't find any information on what goes where in the build settings. Can someone tell me how each bit of the project should look in the build settings, please? (There's no information anywhere in Apple's developer documentation - which is a bit weird. They've released Xcode and they have no information on the various bits. And why doesn't Xcode set up a WidgetKit extension properly when you add it? Must we all do this manually, Apple?)

I have a watch extension app that is used to show the complications using ClockKit. Then when we upgraded to watch OS 9, I added the WidgetKit Extension and all migration code for clockKit as well. Everything was working fine in Watch OS 9 But now when we upgraded to watch OS 10. The widgetKit based complication not at all running, I can't even see any of our complication in watch face On top of that the WidgetKit extension is not showing any debug information as well, none of the break points are executed Please let me know if anyone knows the issue

I'm in the process of migrating one of my app's Apple Watch complications from ClockKit to WidgetKit. In my ClockKit complications, there are some cases where a show the relative time since the last event in the app (for example, "25MIN"). With ClockKit, this was quite straightforward using a CLKTextProvider designed for this exact purpose: CLKRelativeDateTextProvider(date: date, style: .offsetShort, units: [.hour, .minute]) This has always worked great, since it lets me specify that hours and minutes should be used, but not seconds, since they're not relevant here. How can I accomplish the same thing with WidgetKit and SwiftUI? The closest thing I've found is this: Text(date, style: .relative) It shows, for example: 14MIN 8SEC This is not what I want, since it shows seconds. It makes the complication look messy with all the extra information, and is distracting because it updates every second until an hour has passed. I suppose I could write my own logic to create a new timeline entry every minute to show the number of hours and minutes since the last update, but since CLKTextProvider works so nicely I wanted to check whether there is some way to accomplish the same thing without creating a new entry for every minute. There seem to be some more customizable options with date formatters, but I haven't found a way to combine this with the SwiftUI version that updates automatically on the Apple Watch face: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/date/relativeformatstyle/3766585-presentation

I've migrated my ClockKit complication to WidgetKit in my app. Everything is working fine when I run the app on watch OS 9.4 simulator with Xcode 14.3.1 But when I compile withe Xcode 15 Beta 8 ( or beta 7, 6..), the invalidateConfigurationRecommendations() does not work anymore. the Recommendations() func from the IntentTimelineProvider is not called and thus the complication/widget list is not updated for the user The rest is working fine, all widgets are well displayed, and I can still add / change any widget from the original list. Running the app on a watchOS 10 simulator using Xcode 14.3.1, I've succeeded to see an error message : [widget] invalidateConfigurationRecommendations() - error reloading supported intents: Process not authorized to make this timeline request But I could not find any information about this error I've also tried by migrating the SiriIntent to AppIntent on Xcode 15 Beta 8, but the issue persists, Recommendations() is still not called upon invalidateConfigurationRecommendations() The application project is composed of : iOS App watchKit App WatchKit Extension Widget Extension (for IOS App) Widget Intent (for iOS App) Complication Extension (for watchOS widgets) Looking desperately how to fix this... Thanks for any help

I just got my new Apple Watch series 9 - woo! But I loaded a couple of my test apps onto it - and the complications are not rendering. They work fine on my "old" series 6 (both are on WatchOS 10). I tried resizing them. They run and render fine in the simulator. But this is how it looks on my actual watch (the upper 2 complications are mine).

I'm trying to migrate from Complication with CLKComplication to WidgetKit. I have implemented the required methods in https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/converting-a-clockkit-app, but the migration is not working. There is no evidence that the method for migration is also called. It was the same with Xcode 14.0.1 and Xcode 14.1RC. class ComplicationController: NSObject, CLKComplicationDataSource, CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator { ...     @available(watchOS 9.0, *)     var widgetMigrator: CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator {         return self     }     @available(watchOS 9.0, *)     func widgetConfiguration(from complicationDescriptor: CLKComplicationDescriptor) async -> CLKComplicationWidgetMigrationConfiguration? {         return CLKComplicationStaticWidgetMigrationConfiguration(kind: "MyWidget", extensionBundleIdentifier: "com.example.myapp.mywatchkitapp.mywidget")     } } What's wrong? Has anyone been able to migrate?

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?

Hi all, I am working with an older watch app that still uses the older template that combines the WatchKit App and WatchKit App Extension targets. While trying to migrate the ClockKit complication to the new WidgetKit complication, I cannot get the widget complications to load anything from user defaults. It seems like the widget complications are not using the same user defaults as the watch app though being in the same App Group. I experimented with a new watch app using the new SwiftUI template and the WidgetKit complication was able to load data from user default successfully. Did anyone got WidgetKit complication to load data successfully from user default with the older watch app template? Thanks in advance!
