Hello everyone!
I want to add hand gesture controls to my Apple Watch app. Specifically, I’m looking to implement the following gestures:
1. Tapping index finger and thumb together once
2. Tapping index finger and thumb together twice
3. Fist clench
4. Double fist clench
Each gesture should trigger a different action within the app.
However, I can’t find any information on how to implement this. I only came across an example using .handGestureShortcut(.primaryAction) (Enabling the double-tap gesture on Apple Watch https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchOS-Apps/enabling-double-tap), but I need to handle four distinct gestures.
Is this possible in watchOS 11? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Hello, mamutido. The double-tap gesture is the only gesture that apps are able to respond to. The others are reserved for the AssistiveTouch accessibility feature.
I'd encourage you to submit feedback requesting the ability for your app to respond to these additional gestures, including details about the ways you'd like your app to respond to these gestures, which helps us better evaluate your feedback.
