In WatchOS 6 a presented .sheet could be dismissed by swiping down or tapping on the navigationBarTitle. In the WatchOS 7 beta, presented sheets are no longer dismissible by either method...forcing the addition of a button to dismiss. It appears as if .sheet is now acting as .fullScreenCover within WatchOS 7. Anyone else running into this? Wondering if this is now expected behavior on WatchOS or if it's a bug...

Hi, My middle schooler is working on a project for National Science Fair competition to estimate blood pressure from ppg signals. While he is using external database to develop his algorithm, it would be very useful to test it with real time data. I have a Series 6 watch and wondering how I can access my ppg sensor raw data.

My device is Apple Watch Series 5. It only support wifi. When I was debug in real machine. It can't connect to internet. The app is independent. But the system app can connect to internet. Why? Why? Why? And How to solve. code ： let session = URLSession.shared     let task: URLSessionDataTask = session.dataTask(with: URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=iOS")!)) { [self] (data, response, error) in       if data == nil {                   print(error.debugDescription)       }     }     task.resume() error message : Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 "The Internet connection appears to be offline."

Hi, I work in a fintech company that offers support to Apple Pay in our cards, i.e. our users have the option add their cards to Apple Pay using our app (in-app provisioning). Our company already got the proper In-App provisioning entitlements from Apple and the entire in-app provisioning process is working as expected. When an user taps on the button "Add to Apple Wallet" in our app to provision his card, we call the following code below: let config = PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration() config.cardholderName = "\(firstName) \(lastName)" config.localizedDescription = "MyApp Card" config.primaryAccountSuffix = String(cardSuffix) config.paymentNetwork = .visa /* Present the Apple Pay ViewController */ let controller = PKAddPaymentPassViewController(requestConfiguration: config, delegate: self) UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window??.rootViewController?.present(controller!, animated: true) If the user has an Apple Watch paired, he is greeted with a screen asking him to select on which device he wants to add the card: on his iPhone or on the Apple Watch (please see the following screenshot: imgur.com/a/MSQPnt8 - After the user selects the device, the provisioning process continues successfully as expected. However, if the user taps on the "Add to Apple Wallet" button and he already has the card added to one of the devices (the Apple Watch, for example), then the code above is called again, but he is once again greeted with the same screen asking him to select on which devices he wants to add the card, on his iPhone or on his Apple Watch, even though the card is already added on the Apple Watch. The way I understand it, since the card is already added on the Apple Watch, only iPhone should appear as a valid option to have the card added. Is there anything else that I need to do in the code above to make sure only the available devices (I mean, only the devices that don't have the card added on Apple Pay yet) are listed in the device selection? Thanks

If a "Minimum Deployment Target" is updated to WatchOS7 on a product(iOS app with a companion watch app) that is already available on the App Store, watches running WatchOS6 will obviously no longer get updates. However, what is the experience for a user who has a WatchOS6 (maybe they own a Series 2) connected to an iPhone with iOS14? Will both the iPhone app and the Watch app stop getting updates? Will the Watch app stop getting updates, but the iPhone app continue receiving them and we have to manage this? Something else? Thanks in advance!

When I run watch app I got crash because I am using CMFallDetectionManager but I have added key in .plist Fall Detection Usage Description , when I run the watch app I got this error Fall Detection entitlement is required for this API so I read the documentation it says To apply for the entitlement, see Fall Detection Entitlement Request but when I click on the clink Fall Detection Entitlement Request I got this message The Apple ID you signed in with does not have permission to view this page.

Since I upgraded to iOS 15, watchOS 8 and Xcode 13, after I turned off and on my Mac, every first time I want to launch an app from Xcode to my iPhone appear this message (even if I'm not developing for watchOS): iPhone is busy: Making Apple Watch ready for development The Mac stays stuck on it for at least 20 minutes. The only solution I found (until now) is to switch off WiFi on my Watch. Is there a better solution?

Hey, so I am creating an app that will get the core motion data (accelerometer and gyroscope) from my apple watch and stream it onto a console. I am able to get accelerometer data but not a gyroscope from my apple watch. When I try it with my phone I get both. So is gyroscope data not available for the apple watch?

When an iPhone is paired with an Apple Watch and receives a critical alert, no sound is played. This makes it very easy to miss such notifications and defeats entirely the purpose of critical alerts. For context, we build an app that improves the care coordination of heart attacks. We send critical alerts to notify healthcare professionals of such emergencies. These events may occur at night, when the user does not wear the Watch, and will therefore be likely to miss the notification entirely, which can be catastrophic. I have searched online thoroughly for work-arounds but have not found anything. Others have asked this before elsewhere but have not found definitive answers: link. Is there anything we can do as developers to force critical alerts to be handled by the phone, or at least to force the phone to ring when receiving a critical alert? Edit: I am aware that in the Watch app, it is possible to prevent notifications from being mirrored by the Watch. However, this requires the end user to exit my app and navigate their settings. It is also impossible for my app to check if this was done correctly. As such, I am completely in the blind as to whether the user has set up their notifications correctly.

Hi, I'm trying to make a watch app that transfer data watch to watch(or iOS). (Not for backup) So, I looked up for core bluetooth feature. It was a nice and kind document. However, I bumped in to a problem that might cause a severe flaw in my project, which is.. the distance (range) that the apple watch can reach to another one. I googled it and found out 33 feet would be the limit range of bluetooth 4.0 (or 5.0 whatever). BUT, when I google just "bluetooth 4.0 and 5.0 range", the range was way over the distance mentioned, like 10 times way further. Some say up to 100m (330 feet), other say 60m (200feet). So If is there anyone who tested the real range of bluetooth working via watch to watch?? Well.. thank you for reading my post, and I hope anyone can answer me! :)

I'm continuously getting this message in Xcode and I can't run my app on my Apple Watch. I'm running the latest versions of everything. I have tried to restart my Mac, my iPhone, my Watch. I tried to unpair and pair it back. Nothing is working. I also updated Xcode to 14.0.1 RC and that didn't help. How can I get this working? We're unable to do any work on our Watch App without this working. Thanks

Hi I just got my Apple Watch Ultra and I am trying to access depth and water temperature with the new CMWaterSubmersion api and I am getting CMErrorDomain 110 (which is CMErrorNotEntitled). Not sure exactly what this means, I am guessing I there is an entitlement missing? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/cmwatersubmersionmeasurement

I was following the below documentation for getting the Raw Gyroscope events. Somehow I am unable to make the below code working. if motion.isGyroAvailable { self.motion.gyroUpdateInterval = 1.0 / 60.0 self.motion.startGyroUpdates() // Configure a timer to fetch the accelerometer data. self.acceTimer = Timer(fire: Date(), interval: (1.0/60.0), repeats: true, block: { (timer) in // Get the gyro data. if let data = self.motion.gyroData { let x = data.rotationRate.x let y = data.rotationRate.y let z = data.rotationRate.z // Use the gyroscope data in your app. print("rotationX: \(x) , rotationY: \(y) , rotationZ: \(z)") } }) // Add the timer to the current run loop. RunLoop.current.add(self.acceTimer!, forMode: .default) } https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/getting_raw_gyroscope_events The isGyroAvailable always returns false Dev environment - Xcode 14.1, Apple Watch 8, WatchOS 9.1

Professor said I can get RAW data from apple watch, but he didn't know specific data what we can collect. Can I get RAW data from apple watch? and which datas can I get?

I have tried several times to restart all the devices or turn off turn on developer mode, but continuing getting "waiting for first unlock" in Xcode. The Xcode version is 14.2 with ios 16.0. I tried to work with the older version of iOS 15 and Xcode13, but it failed with "new watch new ios version at 16.0". Does anyone know how can I get this working? Thanks

Hello 👋🏼 I would like to create my own Apple Watch app for workouts. I would like to count the number of repetitions of the exercise that I do for example (squat). But my watch is going to sleep. And when the device goes into sleep mode, the counter stops counting, and I wanted to ask. Does the accelerometer run in the background so that it counts the number of squats in the background? What can you recommend ?

Hi to all, I'm new to WatchOS development and trying to install the default Xcode 'Hello World' app on my Apple Watch Ultra. I've enabled Developer Mode on my iPhone and did the same on my Apple Watch. After enabling Developer Mode on the watch it asks me to restart the watch. After a restart it asks me again if I want to enable Developer Mode. Of course! I don't succeed in installing the app on my watch because Xcode is "waiting for first unlock" of my watch. When I look in Settings > Privacy > Developer Mode the toggle switch is disabled. I can enable the switch but the watch asks me to restart and this is the loop I'm in. Anybody suggestions for 'permanently enabling' Developer Mode on my Apple Watch? Thanks in advance!
