We developed a camera remote control app for Apple Watch, but during the development process, we found that Apple Watch is prone to sleep on its own without screen interaction (usually automatically sleeping between 5s and 15s when there is no interaction, but our Apple Watch app actually receives the camera preview video frame data we transmit all the time, and there is no data interaction), and then triggers the sessionReachableDidChange function, and the session.isRechable is false. We hope that the camera remote control app for our Apple Watch can remain on when in the foreground, making it convenient to control our camera app on our phone. We found that DJI's Apple Watch app does not automatically sleep and does not sleep for more than 2 minutes. We have tried many methods, such as heartbeat packets, and I have added WKSupportsAlwaysOnDsplay to the Apple Watch info.plist file, but have not found an effective solution. I hope you can provide assistance, thank you.

Apple Watch automatically tracks sleep data and syncs it to the iPhone, making it available through HealthKit for historical analysis. However, there is no way to retrieve real-time data on whether a user has entered sleep, or whether they are in a specific sleep stage at any given moment. Is it possible to provide an interface for real-time sleep status monitoring

I currently own an Apple Watch SE2 device. However, when I try to debug from the watch to the actual device, the connection loss issue occurs all too often. Once the connection is lost, it continues to try to connect in the Disconnected list on the Xcode "Devices and Simulators" screen and is in a loading state. Very often, even when the connection is established and you are trying to start debugging, it drops out. Xcode cannot debug properly on the actual device. I later found out that the Apple Watch SE2 does not support 5.0 Hz Wi-Fi, only 2.5 Hz. I think that might be the cause. Is this phenomenon less likely to occur if you debug on an actual device such as a regular Apple Watch 7/8/9 or Ultra model? In fact, if debugging is difficult with the Apple Watch SE model, I am wondering whether I should purchase an additional Apple Watch. Or is there another way to improve this issue? It would be nice if the Apple Watch could be debugged by connecting it to a Mac with an actual cable like the iPhone. I am wondering if there is a way to disable and enable network debugging in Xcode. In the past, debugging the watch using only Bluetooth with the iPhone in Xcode seemed to be more stable. Except for the Watch, the iPad doesn't have any major issues with Wi-Fi debugging on the iPhone.

My app monitors users heart beats and if critical reading is noticed, it auto -dials 911 for emergency and ambulance help. I was under the impression that auto-dial may not be permitted or possible on the platform. Can anyone confirm and provide any additional guidance on if it is possible in the newer SDK/API stack or using any 3rd party service ? Thank you in advance!!

Dear Apple Developer Support, I am writing to request assistance with an ongoing issue I'm encountering while developing an iOS application that utilizes HealthKit to fetch heart rate data. My goal is to display near real-time heart rate updates continuously same as displaying in the Apple Watch , I want to show in the iPhone Mobile Application for fitness related. I have implemented the following approaches: HKSampleQuery with a Timer: I've set up a timer to periodically fetch the latest heart rate data. Despite these efforts, I'm consistently facing the following problems: Delayed Updates: The heart rate data displayed in the app often doesn't reflect the current heart rate being measured by the Apple Watch. There seems to be a significant synchronization delay. Inconsistent Background Updates: Background updates, even with background app refresh enabled, are not reliable. The app often only updates when brought to the foreground or after being killed and relaunched. Entitlements: The com.apple.developer.healthkit.background-delivery entitlement error is missing. I have thoroughly reviewed Apple's HealthKit documentation, implemented best practices for HealthKit integration, and verified that all necessary permissions are properly configured. I understand that HealthKit may not be designed for true real-time data, but the current level of delay and inconsistency is making it difficult to provide a useful user experience. Could you please provide guidance on whether achieving near real-time heart rate updates continuously in an iOS app using HealthKit is possible? If so, what are the recommended strategies and best practices to overcome these limitations? I have also tested the application on physical devices with Apple Watch, enabled background app refresh, granted permissions, and referred to HealthKit documentation. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you can offer to help resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Venu Madhav

I've made the code in xcode for apple watch with 2 swift view (contentView.swift and interfaceController.swift).The swift for sound and haptic feedback is in InterfaceController.swift. But the the sound does not appear with haptic feedback in apple watch after complete the xcode. the app is done but no sound appear with haptic feedback when rotate apple watch digital crown. when crown rotated but sound appear code import WatchKit import AVFoundation import WatchKit class InterfaceController: WKInterfaceController { // ... your UI elements func playSelectionHapticAndSound() { // Play a haptic feedback pattern WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.success) // Load and play a selection sound effect guard let soundURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "spin", withExtension: "wav") else { return } do { let player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: soundURL) player.play() } catch { print("Error playing sound: \(error)") } } }

We have recently developed the iwatch app. We will package the APP + iwatch app and publish it in testfight for test download. However, we often find that after the mobile app is downloaded, the iwatch app is also on the iwatch System application inside display. Click install is always in the installation. It has not been installed. Especially when the phone we tested is paired with several watches. Or delete the mobile APP and download it again to recover. But some situations still cannot be recovered. May I ask why it is always installed? We have confirmed that there is no problem with the network, and the pairing connection between the watch and the mobile phone is normal. This problem has caused us a lot of trouble. I wonder if this will happen in the app store. Please give the official reply

I am working on watch os project. I need to check network connectivity when user turn on and off the network. I am using NWPathMonitor for check network availability. I am connected with wifi but it still showing unsatisfied not real device but it's working perfect on simulator.
