I got a new MacBook and set it up as a new one, not transferring any data from the old one. But now the Apple Watch (Series 6) paired with my iPhone (14 Pro Max) ist not shown in Xcode. iPhone and Watch are using the latest RC and also Xcode is the latest RC. But in Xcode I ca only see my iPhone, not the paired Watch. See Screenshots. The first shows the new MacBook and the second the old one. I already tried a lot, but nothing helps: Unpair Watch from Phone and then pair it again Plug the iPhone to different USB ports Restart Watch, iPhone and Mac Delete the iPhone from Xcode Enable and disable Developer Mode on iPhone and Watch What else can I try to get the Watch back?

Hi all, I am trying to build an app which, on support Apple Watch's (currently just the Ultra's), will detect when the watch has been submerged and will start to report temperature from the sensor. I have followed the developer articles I could find around CMWaterSubmersionManager and have set up a simple class to interact with it. It is now that I want to run my app and test if it is working as I expect it to etc. However I noticed that the waterSubmersionAvailable is only set to true on physical Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2. This is rather inconvenient as it means that for the next week or so while developing this feature I will have to stick my arm wearing the watch into a container of water to test the feature. Just wondering if there is any easier way to debug this stuff that anyone has figured out? It would be ideal if this could just be done in the simulator similar to how other device conditions can be induced. I did notice the "Enable Easy Submersion" option in the Debug menu, however I could not figure out a difference between having this on or off, and could not find any explanation of what it actually does on the docs. Does anyone have any experience with this either? Any advice would be appreciated, and to any Apple engineers who may see this, please please please add an option to be able to debug this stuff in the Simulator

Hello I have been using apple products for quite some time now and am also updating my phone with latest beta software updates for watch, airpods 2 etc. Recently, I have started facing an irritating issue - I am unable to control the volume via my apple watch crown for music playing on youtube music / spotify etc. Earlier while operating the watch crown, I could lower/increase the volume of the music/videos on the "Now Playing" screen on the watch. But with recent updates its not happening. Please advise. TIA! Software versions: iphone - ios 17.4 apple watch 8 - watchOS 10.4

Hi, I can find no way of getting HKSeriesType.heartbeat() data from the health store using my own workout app. The values captured seem to be from the irregular HRV measurements done by Apple. There is a video showing HKHeartbeatSeriesSamples being consumed in an app but not how to capture them from the optical sensor. The WWDC video on this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77950041/getting-heartbeatseriessamples-in-ios-swift-healthkit-hkanchoredobjectquery at around 28 mins assumes you have written the beats from an external device - not from the optical sensor. I have set typesToRead to be: // Beat addition HKSeriesType.heartbeat(), HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRateVariabilitySDNN)!, // end beat addition Why is the watch app not saving beat to beat interval series to the health store?? Failing that how can the watch app access the data itself so that it can then forward to the companion iPhone app? Help much appreciated.

I'm trying to execute a background task following the Developer Documentation. This is my code import SwiftUI @main struct MyAppTest_Watch_AppApp: App { @Environment(\.scenePhase) var scenePhase let bs = BackgroundSession() @SceneBuilder var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() }.backgroundTask(.appRefresh("prova")) { context in print("bg task") await scheduleTask() } .onChange(of: scenePhase) { phase in switch phase { case .active: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase to ACTIVE") case .inactive: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase Inactive") case .background: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase Background") WKApplication.shared() .scheduleBackgroundRefresh( withPreferredDate: Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: 5 * 60.0), userInfo: "prova" as NSSecureCoding & NSObjectProtocol, scheduledCompletion: schedule) default: print("\(#function) REPORTS - App change of scenePhase Default") } } } func scheduleTask() async { bs.testSession() await WKApplication.shared() .scheduleBackgroundRefresh( withPreferredDate: Date.init(timeIntervalSinceNow: 5 * 60.0), userInfo: "prova" as NSSecureCoding & NSObjectProtocol, scheduledCompletion: schedule) } func schedule(error: Error?) { if error != nil { // Handle the scheduling error. fatalError("*** An error occurred while scheduling the background refresh task. ***") } print("Scheduled!") } } On the simulator the background refresh occurs correctly according to the preferred date and executes the background task, on the real watch it does not. I also set the app as complication in my watch face. The device I'm testing the app on is an Apple Watch Serie 7 with watchOS 10.3. Any idea?

EKEventStore on Apple Watch is not giving me all calendars. I can see only calendars of the source 'Subscriptions', but non of the calendars of source CalDAV (iCloud). This problem exists over multiple apps. Code works fine on iPhone. Any ideas? Minimal example code: import SwiftUI import EventKit struct ContentView: View { let eventStore = EKEventStore() @State var success: Bool = false @State var calendarNames: [String] = [String]() func request() async { success = (try? await eventStore.requestFullAccessToEvents()) ?? false } func list() { calendarNames = eventStore.calendars(for: .event).map { $0.title } } var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Access: \(success.description)") ScrollView { ForEach(calendarNames, id: \.self) { name in Text(name) } } } .onAppear { Task { await request() list() } } .padding() } }

Hello!, I am trying out a new standalone app for Apple Watch, I recently downloaded Xcode latest version (I am using a Macbook Pro M2) and despite making it explicit that I don't want an iOS version, this error keeps appearing, not rendering the preview. I also downloaded the WatchOs simulator. Has anybody experienced something like this? I mean, I followed Apple's tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchos-apps/creating-independent-watchos-apps/ Error: == DATE: Saturday, January 20, 2024 at 1:28:09 a.m. Central Standard Time 2024-01-20T07:28:09Z == PREVIEW UPDATE ERROR: SchemeBuildError: Failed to build the scheme ”timer Watch App” iOS 17.2 Platform Not Installed.

How to develop Complications for Watch 8.0 and earlier in Xcode 15

https://developer.android.com/build/configure-app-module#set_the_application_id In Android, you can separate a mobile app and a wearable app into different projects and still enable communication by setting the same applicationId in both project's build.gradle.kts files. Thus, one may upload mobile app and wearable app into google store separately, and yet be able to receive/send messages with each other. Is there a similar approach available for iOS and watchOS apps? I tried separating the watchOS app into a new project and setting its WKCompanionAppBundleIdentifier to the original iOS app's Bundle Identifier. But I'm still encountering errors as below: WCSession counterpart app not installed SessionIsNotReachable Am I missing something, or is this approach not feasible on iOS/watchOS? Also, if it is not feasible, I would like to know why such approach is available on Android, but not on iOS. If it is feasible, correction for my approach, or introduction of a new approach would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to add a watch target in my existing project using XCode 15.1 but I am not able to see any watch simulators for this to run my watch app. I created a small sample project separately where I can see watch simulators reflecting in the run destination. Can somebody please help me to locate which property or setting I need to check which is disabling XCode to show watch simulators? I have downloaded the watch simulator.

I am receiving an error message trying to connect an apple watch to my phone. Error message reads: Could not sign in Operation throttled by server. Retry after 3599 seconds (other operations may be allowed) Has anyone experienced this error message before and know how to resolve it? Apple Watch SE

I'm trying to add complications to an existing app via the directions of https://developer.apple.com/documentation/clockkit/deprecated_articles_and_symbols/creating_complications_for_your_watchos_app/enabling_complications_for_your_watchos_app however, Xcode 15 does not have "Complications Configuration" in the Project menu so I can't put in the correct info for "Data Source Class" and "Complications Group". Can someone direct me where to go for up to date information regarding how to do this in Xcode 15?

Hi experts, I got an Ultra2 a while ago and has been using it on walking / running exercise. Recently I came across to this apple site: debug profile and I'm curious about what I would get during the exercise. So I follow the instruction and install the location services profile. After getting the sysdiagnose report, I try to get location related information from it. And it seems that the log from "locationd" and "gpsd" are what I'm looking for. But when I try to look into the nmea information, I found out the sysdiagnose only provide around 10-15 mins of nmea data. For example, let's say I have a walking exercise from 0900 - 1000, but I can only see nmea data from 0945 - 1000. The data from 0900 to 0945 can't be found in the sysdiagnose. Not sure if's the limitation or any setting I can change to increase the logging period? Thanks.

let hotspotConfig = NEHotspotConfiguration(ssid: "SSID", passphrase: "PASSWORD", isWEP: false) hotspotConfig.hidden = true let hotspotMgr = NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared hotspotMgr.apply(hotspotConfig) { error in } This works on the watchos before, but does not work on the latest watchos 10.2, if given incorrect password, the error returns .invalidWPAPassphrase, it's right. However, when given the correct password, the error returns .unknown and no wifi connect request alert shows on the watch. The code works ok on the iPhone, but not works on the watchos.

Hi, sorry if the sentence is wrong as I am using the translate function. I am looking to create an AR application using Nearby Interaction and ARkit. The devices to be used are iPhone 15pro and apple watch 9. The iPhone implementation will measure the distance to the apple watch while simultaneously using AR to track images. The apple watch implementation will only measure the distance to the iPhone. Is it possible to implement this feature? If you know of any, I would like to know.

I know it is not a developer question, but getting the answer may help understand what we can get or not get on Apple Watch after Watch10. Since WatchOS10.2 when swiping face, time is always displayed first as 10:09:31 before setting the correct time one second later. Just in the same way as a long press. But the interest of swipe is to have immediately a different face displaying the correct time. Why is it so ? Is it due to (probably) now using SwiftUI ? Or is it a quick fix, reusing most of code for Lon,g press case ? It did not behave so with WatchOS 9 or before. Is there a setting to change ? It is really inconvenient (and ugly). I filed a bug report: FB13466486
