I have started to work on adding Live Activities to my app in watchOS 11. The app already has interactive Live Activities on the phone that works as expected.

I have added a view for the activityFamily: small and it shows up as expected.

My problem is that buttons doesn't work. I use the Intent based button, and on the iPhone Lock Screen they work. On the watch, nothing happens.

Has anyone got this working? Not sure if I'm missing something or if it's a bug.

Hi Weuler. It's impossible to tell without seeing the relevant code and/or sysdiagnose from your devices. Can you grab a sysdiagnose from the watch and the phone and file Feedback please? If you can include the content view code from your live activity widget configuration and the intent you've associated with the button in the Feedback, that would be helpful as well. Post the number here when you have it! Thank you.

Same issue here, the intent is not called (= the button does nothing) while everything is working fine on iOS/iPadOS:
