I have a simple app that is capturing audio via the WKInterfaceController audio recording method. Everything works well, except for the fact that I can never capture a recording longer than about 20 sec because the Apple Watch screen locks. I have set the max duration option to 5 min, but this doesn't seem to have any effect on this aspect of things.

Has anyone managed to either get the watch to stay awake in this case, or is there a wy to get the audio recording to continue in the background, even after screen lock?

Thanks!

For anyone interested, I've determined that if you launch the app via tapping on a Glance, this time limit is present, however if you launch the app from the home screen, it stays running until you actively sleep the watch.
