I'm amazed that this functionality doesn't already exist (there was a 3rd party app now discontinued) but what I want is to have my watch (series 6) pulse when it goes out of range of the iPhone.
Put simply, it is a very simple way to say "hey, you have left your phone behind you idiot".
I'd like to potentially code this for the watch but before I go to the trouble of attempting it I'd like to know three things:
1) is it feasible using Xcode/swift (is there a suitable interface (accessible to the developer) between the watch and the phone to detect the bluetooth disconnection)?
2) has it already been done but I simply haven't yet located a developer who has done it?
3) if an app is for personal use can I create it and use it with my watch/iphone without having to pay the Apple developer annually licence fee?
I am a developer with decades of experience but not with IOS/WatchOS, so on the assumption that the facility really doesn't exist and given that I have some time to spare for learning new skills, I'd love some feedback to my questions before I wander off down a blind alley.
Many thanks in advance.
