My app requires me to send some data from the Watch OS to the Mobile OS while the two devices are in disconnected state. Is this possible with the transferuserinfo method of the WCSession class? Will the data be delivered?

Documentation states that the transferUserInfo method should be used only when the WCSession is active. When the two devices are disconnected, if i call the WCSession activateSession method, will the session be considered as active on the Watch Device?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can activate a session when the other device is out of range. This is used for background transfer types of transfers (like you want.) (Although I think there may be some bugs in this, I've seen some posts suggesting it's not always working...)
