WatchKit Notification Sash Color

Question

I've set my notification sash color in storyboard and it works fine in the simulator, but it shows up as gray on my watch. Does anyone know if this is a known issue or do you need to do something at runtime on a real device to show the color properly?

Answer 1

The sash color is set for the WKNotificationCategory in the storyboard, which has a name. (In your screenshot "myCategory"). Then, for the correct sash color to appear on the real device, the push notification needs to have the matching category name when you send it.

UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
if (notification) {
    notification.alertBody = @"Hello";
    notification.category = @"myCategory";
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
}
