I have an iPhone app that captures a UIView as UIImage after 5-10 seconds. Is it possible to pass that UIImage to my Apple Watch app and show it in UIImageView there? Dejan Skledar Yes it is. All you need to do is create a NSDictionary like: var dict:[NSString : UIImage] = ["image" : yourImage] And then you just use the following methods to communicate between the Apple Watch and the iOS app: LINK The answers here are only half correct cause you can't send an UIImage directly!

I have an public transport app with realtime departure data for trains. I would like to add a complication that shows the departure time of the next train. Is it possible to show (or refresh) realtime data on a complication? For example, showing "3 min. to station X."

How to change the label appearing at the top left corner that says "Cancel" when I open a modal view... I would like it to be a button with an image.
