Using environmentObject in watchOS

Question

I am trying to use environmentObject in a watchOS6 app to bind my data model to my view.

I have created a simple, stand-alone Watch app in Xcode 11.

Answer 1

For anyone like Brett (in the comments) who was getting

"Property 'body' with type 'AnyView' cannot override a property with type 'ContentView'"

I got the same error because I hadn't replaced the return value and wrapped the ContentView being returned.

ie. this is what my first attempt looked like.. notice the WKHostingController that should be WKHostingController

class HostingController : WKHostingController {
    override var body: AnyView {
        return AnyView(ContentView().environmentObject(DataModel()))
    }
}
