Prior to watchOS10, I marked a view that I want to hide sensitive information when not being worn by using .privacySensitive() This had been working just fine. Comes watchOS10, this doesn't work anymore. Even with this simple code Text("TEST Privacy") .containerBackground(for: .widget) { Color.black } .privacySensitive() The text view is displayed even when not being worn. Has anyone experienced this? It seems like a bug to me. Any workaround? Thank you.

I have a watch extension app that is used to show the complications using ClockKit. Then when we upgraded to watch OS 9, I added the WidgetKit Extension and all migration code for clockKit as well. Everything was working fine in Watch OS 9 But now when we upgraded to watch OS 10. The widgetKit based complication not at all running, I can't even see any of our complication in watch face On top of that the WidgetKit extension is not showing any debug information as well, none of the break points are executed Please let me know if anyone knows the issue

The modular ultra watchface ignores the font type I set in my complication. Happens in simulator and on device (see screenshots). I set the font via: .font(.system(size: CGFloat(self.fontSize), weight: self.fontWeight, design: .monospaced)) Can you please help? Is this as designed or a bug? I really a monospaced font in that place. Thanks! Correct: Wrong:

In my Watch app on watchOS 9 I was using .foregroundColor(myColour) to colour the text in a widgetLabel on a corner complication like this: let myColour: Color = functionThatReturnsAColorObjectConstructedLike Color.init(...) // green .widgetLabel { Text(myText) .foregroundColor(myColour) } It worked fine; the widget label was green. Now, in watchOS 10, I see that foregroundColor() is being deprecated in favour of foregroundStyle(), and I can use .foregroundStyle(.green), and - importantly - foregroundStyle() is only available on watchOS 10 and newer. myColour is calculated depending on some other info, so I can't just write .green, and when I use .foregroundStyle(myColour) the widget label comes out as white every time, even if I set myColour = .green. I think I have to use some sort of extension to pick the right combination, something like: extension View { func foregroundType(colour: Colour, style: any ShapeStyle) -> some THING? { if #available(watchOS 10.0, *) { return foregroundStyle(style) } else { return foregroundColor(colour) } } } // Usage let myStyle: any ShapeStyle = SOMETHING? ... .widgetLabel { Text(myText) .foregroundType(colour: myColour, style: myStyle) It doesn't work. I just can't figure out what should be returned, nor how to return it. Any ideas?

I'm in the process of migrating one of my app's Apple Watch complications from ClockKit to WidgetKit. In my ClockKit complications, there are some cases where a show the relative time since the last event in the app (for example, "25MIN"). With ClockKit, this was quite straightforward using a CLKTextProvider designed for this exact purpose: CLKRelativeDateTextProvider(date: date, style: .offsetShort, units: [.hour, .minute]) This has always worked great, since it lets me specify that hours and minutes should be used, but not seconds, since they're not relevant here. How can I accomplish the same thing with WidgetKit and SwiftUI? The closest thing I've found is this: Text(date, style: .relative) It shows, for example: 14MIN 8SEC This is not what I want, since it shows seconds. It makes the complication look messy with all the extra information, and is distracting because it updates every second until an hour has passed. I suppose I could write my own logic to create a new timeline entry every minute to show the number of hours and minutes since the last update, but since CLKTextProvider works so nicely I wanted to check whether there is some way to accomplish the same thing without creating a new entry for every minute. There seem to be some more customizable options with date formatters, but I haven't found a way to combine this with the SwiftUI version that updates automatically on the Apple Watch face: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/date/relativeformatstyle/3766585-presentation

Hi guys, We have received several reports from our users: after deleting the watch app, the complications still remain. It seems system cache the config and forget to remove after deleting the app. (Our app is useing WidgetKit as complications)

We are migrating ClockKit complications to WidgetKit in our watch app (watchOS 9+). The migration went smoothly, UI part works just fine. However, we've hit the wall with widgets not updating when requested by the watch app. I believe we are missing something very simple and fundamental, but couldn't find what exactly so far. Advice and tips would be very welcome! 🙇‍♂️ Our implementation details: Whenever data is changed in the main app, the updated data is submitted to the watch app via WatchConnectivity framework using WCSession.default.transferCurrentComplicationUserInfo(_:). According to documentation, this method should be used to transfer complication-related data, since it will wake the watch app even if it is in the background or not opened at all. Watch app receives updated data and stores it in UserDefaults shared with Watch Widget Extension hosting WidgetKit complications via App Group. Watch app then request widget timeline reload via WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines(). According to documentation, it reloads the timelines for all configured widgets belonging to the containing app, so it seems the appropriate way to reload WidgetKit complications. Widget Timeline Provider class in Watch Widget Extension reads updated data from shared UserDefaults and uses it to provide the updated snapshot for widget views to render. We believe our implementation logic is correct, but it doesn't work, for some reason. Widgets sometimes update when the watch app is opened, but not always. The most definitive way to force widgets to update is to switch to a different watch face, which confirms that the Widget Timeline Provider has access to properly updated data. P.S. We are aware of the daily reload budget imposed on widgets, so we use widgets reload trigger sparingly. Anyway, according to documentation, reload budget is not effective when in DEBUG mode, but widgets won't reload even in DEBUG mode. Thank you!

Several times I've done an Apple Fitness + workout and ended the session when finished. I go to start another workout and the watch screen is dark and I cannot start another workout. I've done a hard reset and I can start a new workout. This has only happened after I downloaded the developer beta iOS 17 software. It will recognize a workout (walking) on its own if I've walked awhile and prompt me to start a workout

I'm able to successfully send userdefaults from the phone to the watch using applicationContext and save those userdefaults to the app group I created. For the watch, I see all the userdefaults come in successfully and I'm able to use them in the WatchOS app. Once I created the complications for the watch app, I am using the same app group ID and I added that app group in the capabilities of the watch extension but when I try to use the same userdefault that I'm using for the watch, everything is nil. I'm not understanding what I'm doing wrong. How do I share userdefaults between the watch and complication? This is how I'm bringing in the userdefaults from the phone to the watch let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: K.appGroupID) if let value1 = applicationContext["lat"] as? Double { defaults?.setValue(value1, forKey: "lat") } if let value2 = applicationContext["lng"] as? Double { defaults?.setValue(value2, forKey: "lng") } ... I am able to use this exact function in the watch app, but in the complication, the userdefault is nil. let formatter = DateFormatter() formatter.timeStyle = .short formatter.timeZone = .current let defaultLoad = UserDefaults.init(suiteName: K.appGroupID) if defaultLoad!.bool(forKey: "timeFormat") == true { ... I tried to remove and re-add the app group but that didn't work either. I also created a separate app group for the watch and extension to use alone but still same issue.

In my watch app the AppIntentRecommendation that is returned by func recommendations() needs to be updated after the app is launched. Problem: The information that I need to return a list of AppIntentRecommendation is not available when the app is first installed, so I return a "dummy" AppIntentRecommendation initially. After the app is launched for the first time and user has signed in, I can update the AppIntentRecommendation in func recommendations() but watchOS does not update the list of widgets presented as complications. func recommendations() -> [AppIntentRecommendation<ConfigurationAppIntent>] { // Create an array with all the preconfigured widgets to show. let defaults = UserDefaults.init(suiteName: "group.myApp")! guard let names = defaults.dictionary(forKey: "names" as? [String:String] else { return [AppIntentRecommendation(intent: .Demo, description: "Demo")] } var recs = [AppIntentRecommendation<ConfigurationAppIntent>]() for (idx, name) in names() { let rec = ConfigurationAppIntent() rec.order = idx rec.carName = name rec.action = nil recs.append(AppIntentRecommendation(intent: rec, description: "name") ) } return recs } }

In Xcode 15 beta 1 to 5, the watch face preview of accessoryRectangular and accessoryCircular are always rendered in tinted mode, even if you choose multicolor. (NOTE: Please don't ask me to provide diagnostic data for Preview. Because this issue is 100% reproducible.)

I updated my project from watch app + extension to single-execute project with Xcode 15. Then add a widget target to watch app. The new WidgetKit swiftUI complications works well on simulator, but not shown on the real device.(can not find on Apple Watch Face Complication Editor or rectangle widget) I tried: clean xcode build && Derived Data. reboot my watch/iphone delete all old clockkit complication settings & complicationcontroller.swift the watch still show old clockkit complicaton , that very buggy. so I try next: 4. restore my watch and pair it again. The new WidgetKit complication still not shown, it very frustrated. Do I have to change my old watch app to swiftUI lifecycle project to work? But code is works onthe simulator, which doesn't make sense. when I debug widget extension on Xcode, it show error: SendProcessControlEvent:toPid: encountered an error: Error Domain=com.apple.dt.deviceprocesscontrolservice Code=8 "Failed to show Widget 'hltek.***.watchkitapp.ComplicationWidget' error: Error Domain=FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "The request to open "com.apple.Carousel" failed."

Anyone who has successfully migrated to using WidgetKit for their Apple Watch complications, your help would be greatly appreciated! I've migrated to WidgetKit for my Watch app. On the Apple Watch Face Editor, the new Widget names and options appear correctly. However, on the iPhone Apple Watch app, it offers both WidgetKit and old ClockKit complications... this should not be. I also have found rendering issues where Watch Faces on the main My Watch tab have blank gaps for WidgetKit complications, when selecting the Watch Face they then render (see photos) I've put in a feedback FB12460375 Have tried a full clear and reinstall of my app on both devices, no change. This issue occurs on WatchOS 9.5.2 / iOS 16.5.1 and WatchOS 10 Beta 2 / iOS 17 Beta 2 Any other ideas?

I want to create interactive watch face widget in a way, so user can see some data from my app on the Watch Face widget and then tap on the widget (complication) to change the data without moving inside the app. Does it possible? Or after the tap user always will be moved inside my app? I saw interactive widgets was introduced for iOS and macOS on WWDC23 https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10028. But can smth like that be developed for WatchOS?

I have a project on watchOS with Complications. Right now it works like this in ClockKit, when the app is not running on the watch, transferCurrentComplicationUserInfo method is utilized to manage the transfer of user information. This involves the ComplicationController being launched by the system, which then initiates the WCSession to receive data and update complications. My issue: How should I implement real-time update of complications transferCurrentComplicationUserInfo does not guarantee that my app will be launched by the system?
