I get the following error when I try and run the app on my watch:

Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file “GetPic.php” couldn’t be opened." UserInfo={NSURL=https://website.com/GetPic.php}

The actual line of code is:

let URL: String = try String(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: "https://website.com/GetPic.php")!)

This works fine in xcode. I updated to xCode 7.1 and am running the latest watchos version. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

Firstly, the url returns 404 now. And it seems there is a bug in NSData implementation. You may use NSURLSession instead.

    NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https:..."];
    NSURLSessionDataTask *downloadTask = [[NSURLSession sharedSession]
                                          dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
                                              NSLog(@"data size %ld", (unsigned long)data.length);
                                          }];
  
    [downloadTask resume];
