Is there any way to launch the iOS App from Apple Watch? Edit :- Tried using both api below but doesn't work:- Apple Watch Code Calling Inside interfaceController.m + (BOOL)openParentApplication:(NSDictionary *)userInfo reply:(void(^)(NSDictionary *replyInfo, NSError *error)) reply; // launches containing iOS application on the phone. userInfo must be non-nil iOS Code Calling Inside Appdelegate.m - (void) application:(UIApplication *) application handleWatchKitExtensionRequest:(NSDictionary *)userInfo reply:(void (^)(NSDictionary *))reply The answer is actually pretty interesting. It is YES

I know that the openParentApplication api in watch kit extension can open the host app in the background but not in the foreground. I also tried using openUrl() api of NSExtensionContext as below: NSExtensionContext *ctx = [[NSExtensionContext alloc] init]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"myScheme://today"]; [ctx openURL:url completionHandler:^(BOOL success) { NSLog(@"fun=%s after completion. success=%d", __func__, success); }]; [ctx completeRequestReturningItems:ctx.inputItems completionHandler:nil]; Here too the host app is not launched. Am I missing something? or is it not possible to

I got an email that my latest binary submission to Apple for an iOS/Watch OS app was invalid due to: The app links to non-public libraries in PlugIns/iPrayed.appex/iPrayed WatchKit App.app/_WatchKitStub/WK: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SockPuppetGizmo.framework/SockPuppetGizmo I have submitted this build before without any issues, and only made a couple of changes to a few lines of code, without adding anything at all. Any clue what this is about? Seems to be working now. Submission just gives a warning but the binary goes up fine and can be submitted. You have not done anything wrong. I

I am getting the following error when I am trying to push my notification controller dynamically. 2015-03-30 13:18:53.324 MyApp WatchKit Extension[79826:1951724] Took too long to show custom notification.

I change the module regarding the notification storyboard to

I would like to open WatchKit application to the foreground (or Glance if it is possible) directly from my iPhone. I've been playing with it, but have no success. Maybe someone have found some workarounds? So answer is No, you can't open Watchkit App from iPhone . The WatchKit extension can only request the system to launch the parent iPhone app, which it will run in the background. There is currently no support for this to work the other way around. Nope, Its not possible as of now. Let's hope Apple add that support & release it in coming WWDC. The iPhone app can't launch the Apple Watch app

- (void)awakeWithContext:(id)context { [super awakeWithContext:context]; [WKInterfaceController reloadRootControllersWithNames:@[@"pageOne", @"pageTwo"] contexts:nil]; } Following Apple's guidelines Call this method to reload the pages in your app’s page-based interface. At launch time, you use this method to customize the set of pages you want displayed. at launch time, only results in a loop. With each reload calling awakeWithContext or will Activate or init again and again. Is there a better way to go about reloading the Page-Based app on launch with a loop occurring? This is a common

I just added a Watch app to my project and try : override func awakeWithContext(context: AnyObject?) { super.awakeWithContext(context) let res = WKInterfaceController.openParentApplication(["key" : "value"]) { (replyInfo, error) -> Void in print("replyInfo : \(replyInfo) + error \(error)") } print(res) // true here } In my AppDelegate I wrote : func application(application: UIApplication, handleWatchKitExtensionRequest userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]?, reply: ([NSObject : AnyObject]?) -> Void) { reply(["replyKey" : "replyValue"]); } When I launch the Watch app I just have : replyInfo : [:] +

How to calculate the current user location in Watch Kit extension as we can't use CoreLocation in watch kit. Thanks in advance Stephen Johnson You can use CoreLocation in your watch app extension very similarly to how you use it in your iPhone app. The key difference is that a user can't authorize your extension to have access to Core Location. They will need to do that from your iPhone app. So you will need to check if the user has authorized location services for your app and if they haven't, you will need to instruct them how to do it. Here is the code I use in my watch kit extension for
