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.

Hi,
The documentation for accessing raw accelerometer events makes clear what the axes orientations are on an iPhone, but I cannot seem to find anything that explicitly states the orientations for Apple Watch.
Is this information documented?
Many thanks.

I've been able to get UI Tests working on Apple Watch with Xcode 12.5 / Watch OS 7.0 on the simulator (with the help of some Apple engineers during a WWDC session). I can automatically press buttons and check for text on the screen, which is great.
What I cannot do however, is scroll the screen up or down, which severely limits the ability to reach some buttons and thus the testing.
I'm using XCUIApplication().swipeUp() to try to scroll. What's also not working is the record/playback of UI tests on Apple Watch.
Has anyone been able to achieve a scroll up/down in UI tests on Apple Watch, and if so, how?

I have an audio streaming app which plays live streams using AVPlayer. Everything works as intended and in order to support a good user experience, I set the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter's nowPlayingInfo property with the title, artist and artwork - here is a small snippet:
func updateNowPlayingView(withSong song: Song)
{
let songImage = song.getSongImageAsUIImage()
let artwork = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: songImage.size) { size -> UIImage in
let resizedImage = songImage.imageWith(newSize: size)
return resizedImage
}
MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo = [MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: song.getSongName(),
MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: song.getSongArtist(),
MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyIsLiveStream: true,
MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: artwork]
}
This function is called in the CarPlay Scene delegate and it is called in my AVPlayer sub class for my iOS app and I successfully see the correct meta data in the Command Centre, Lock Screen and Car Play.
For some reason, the artwork does not get displayed in my Apple Watch's Now Playing App
Seems like it is setting the default / placeholder music icon image.
However, when I play the Apple Music App, I can see they set the Now Playing artwork properly
So what am I doing wrong that my artwork does not get set for Apple Watch ?
Am I setting it from the wrong place in my code base ?
Or do I need to keep an Apple Watch app / Extension / Scene like CarPlay to send NowPlaying data to the Apple Watch Now Playing app ?
Thanks for your time

My iPhone 11 Pro is running the iOS 14 beta and I went to pair my Apple Watch series 4, which is running watchOS 6.0 apparently (I hadn’t used it in a while).
Watch app tells me I need to update my watch before I can finish pairing, but then it says it can’t check for an update due to lack of internet connection (which is false).
Not really sure what to do here... my watch is kind of bricked right now... seems like the only solution would be to downgrade iOS back to 13 or pair the watch with another iPhone and then update watchOS, reset it, and try pairing with my iPhone again... though I don’t have another phone. I have an iPad though...

Dear Community / Apple,
I would like to ask in the name of many Smart Home Community,
There is any developing / There is any future plan about make Apple Watches able to read NFC Tags / Stickers?
Many of us would like to use Apple Watch to use Home Automations with NFC Stickers, but we have to use our iPhone instead of the Watch, what would be the most logical way to use these things.
We does not really understand why this was not added by default, and why we cannot find any official information about this?
Please provide us some answer, at least we should know should we still wait for this feature or this is not gonna be enabled by Apple?!
Thank you very much,
Gery

Hi there, I'm trying to read workouts from a WatchOS App.
Unfortunately, the returned workouts are always empty.
This is how it's currently implemented:
func fetchWorkouts(limit: WorkoutLimit) async throws -> [HKWorkout] {
let activityType = PulseConfiguration.activityType
// 1. Get all workouts with the configured activity type.
let walkingPredictate = HKQuery.predicateForWorkouts(with: activityType)
// 2. Get all workouts that only came from this app.
let sourcePredicate = HKQuery.predicateForObjects(from: .default())
// 3. Combine the predicates into a single predicate.
let compound = NSCompoundPredicate(andPredicateWithSubpredicates:
[walkingPredictate, sourcePredicate])
let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: HKSampleSortIdentifierEndDate, ascending: false)
typealias WorkoutsContinuation = CheckedContinuation<[HKWorkout], Error>
return try await withCheckedThrowingContinuation { (continuation: WorkoutsContinuation) in
let query = HKSampleQuery(
sampleType: .workoutType(),
predicate: compound,
limit: limit.count,
sortDescriptors: [sortDescriptor]
) { _, samples, error in
guard let samples = samples as? [HKWorkout], error == nil else {
if let error = error {
continuation.resume(throwing: error)
}
return
}
continuation.resume(returning: samples)
}
healthStore.execute(query)
}
}
I noticed that the HKSource returned by .default (WatchOS) is different than the source associated to the saved workouts (Which contains the bundle identifier from the iPhone App).
Is there some other way to access the workouts from the WatchOS App?
Thanks in advance.
Josh.

Hi everyone,
I have an issue on Apple Watch where I am using SwiftUI. When I try to change a tab by pressing a button, the animation of the TabView is not there when one of the tabs contain a List or a ScrollView. It just kind of jumps to the new tab without any animation. When the tabs do not contain a list it works fine. It seems to be a bug with SwiftUI, but maybe I am doing something wrong. The code is as follows:
struct MainView: View {
@State var selectedTab = 0
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Change") {
withAnimation {
selectedTab = (selectedTab + 1) % 2
}
}
TabView(selection: $selectedTab) {
List {
		Text("Hello")
}.tag(0)
Text("Hello").tag(1)
}
}
}
}
Does anyone have a clue of how I can achieve an animation with tabs containing lists?

I have implemented a very simple iOS + WatchOS app project, where I test how one can communicate with the other. I will paste the code below, but the idea is really simple. Each app has one single screen with a button and a label. Tapping the button will send a message to the counterpart indicating the timestamp when the message was generated.
If I run the app on the simulators, everything works fine: messages are sent and received correctly on both the iPhone and the Watch. (You can find a reference gif on imgur.com/ + o1ZQTLp).
The problem occurs when I try to run the same apps on my physical devices. Session is activated successfully but messages aren't sent. If I debug the code, I even see the WCSession.isReachable value set to true.
When debugging the WatchKit app, I see errorHandler is called on the func sendMessage(), and the error states:
WatchConnectivity session on paired device is not reachable. However, the errorHandler isn't called from the iPhone app.
Details of my devices:
iOS version: 14.0.1
WatchOS version: 7.0.1
I tested this same code before installing the 7.0.1 WatchOS and it worked without any problems, so I wonder if the update introduced some error on the WatchConnectivity framework.
Code on the iPhone app:
import UIKit
import WatchConnectivity
class ViewController: UIViewController {
		@IBOutlet weak var messageLabel: UILabel!
		fileprivate var wcSession: WCSession!
		override func viewDidLoad() {
				super.viewDidLoad()
				wcSession = WCSession.default
				wcSession.delegate = self
				wcSession.activate()
		}
		@IBAction func sendMessageAction(_ sender: Any) {
				let message = [
						"content": "Message sent from iPhone on \(Date())."
				]
				wcSession.sendMessage(message, replyHandler: nil, errorHandler: { error in
						print("Error when sending message: \(error.localizedDescription)")
				})
		}
}
extension ViewController: WCSessionDelegate {
		func session(_ session: WCSession, activationDidCompleteWith activationState: WCSessionActivationState, error: Error?) {
				switch activationState {
				case .activated:
						print("WCSession activated successfully")
				case .inactive:
						print("Unable to activate the WCSession. Error: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "--")")
				case .notActivated:
						print("Unexpected .notActivated state received after trying to activate the WCSession")
				@unknown default:
						print("Unexpected state received after trying to activate the WCSession")
				}
		}
		func session(_ session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage message: [String : Any]) {
				guard let content = message["content"] as? String else { return }
				DispatchQueue.main.async {
						self.messageLabel.text = content
				}
		}
		func sessionDidBecomeInactive(_ session: WCSession) {
		}
		func sessionDidDeactivate(_ session: WCSession) {
		}
}
Code on the Watch Kit app:
import WatchKit
import Foundation
import WatchConnectivity
class InterfaceController: WKInterfaceController {
		@IBOutlet weak var messageLabel: WKInterfaceLabel!
		fileprivate var wcSession: WCSession!
		override func awake(withContext context: Any?) {
				wcSession = WCSession.default
				wcSession.delegate = self
				wcSession.activate()
		}
		@IBAction func sendMessageAction() {
				let message = [
						"content": "Message sent from Watch on \(Date())."
				]
				wcSession.sendMessage(message, replyHandler: nil, errorHandler: { error in
						print("Error when sending message: \(error.localizedDescription)")
				})
		}
}
extension InterfaceController: WCSessionDelegate {
		func session(_ session: WCSession, activationDidCompleteWith activationState: WCSessionActivationState, error: Error?) {
				switch activationState {
				case .activated:
						print("WCSession activated successfully")
				case .inactive:
						print("Unable to activate the WCSession. Error: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "--")")
				case .notActivated:
						print("Unexpected .notActivated state received after trying to activate the WCSession")
				@unknown default:
						print("Unexpected state received after trying to activate the WCSession")
				}
		}
		func session(_ session: WCSession, didReceiveMessage message: [String: Any]) {
				guard let content = message["content"] as? String else { return }
				messageLabel.setText(content)
		}
}

I'm trying to connect to a web socket server using WatchKit. I already have a Javascript app and a Windows application that can connect to this WebSocket server, but with iOS and WatchOS it fails with the errors below. Any idea how I can figure out what's wrong? I already added the App Transport Security Settings to my plist file.
Connection 1: default TLS Trust evaluation failed(-9807) Connection 1: TLS Trust encountered error 3:-9807 Connection 1: encountered error(3:-9807) Connection 1: unable to determine interface type without an established connection
