Now that we've got the go-ahead to submit our iOS 9 and watchOS 2 apps, I have a question. yea, I feel dumb even asking the question but want to make sure. To get the apple watch app to run natively, instead of just as an extension, what all needs to be done? Can I just update the base sdk, or does quite a bit of work need to be done? Again, not asking about new features, just the basic part of getting the app to run natively on the watch.
Updating existing app to watchOS 2
Here is the official documentation on what needs to be done.
Ok, I added the new target of watchOS 2 application to my app, and it created a new extension. Copied over all the files from previous ones, but got build errors. The app included Parse Framework, and error on watch app was could not build module parse. How do I go about using this framework in the watch app now?
Your best options are problably:
Either
Implement all the functionality that uses the Parse Framework in your iOS app. Then, use the new Watch Connectivity Framework that's part of watchOS 2 to handle relevant communications between the Apple Watch and iPhone
or
Wait for the Parse Framework to support watchOS 2 before trying to update your app to watchOS 2
If you already had a watchOS 1 project and you have not plan to support the old one you should only to "Validate Settings...".
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
Parse has released version 1.8.3 which supports ios9, bitcode. It is only available in objective-c for now. I added it to main ios app and it builds. Main app works, but my watch app notification scheme does not build.
What happened to XCode popping up that screen that would see it was a 1.x version of your app and asking if you wanted to upgrade it to 2.0? It was definitely in XCode Beta 1.
Thanks
