I have an iOS app, with a watch counterpart, used to enter scores for a match. The watch app starts a match (and a workout session) when it receives a notification from the mobile app, after the user started a match on their phone. Basically the watch app is just a more convenient way of inputing scores, so the user wouldn't have to reach for and unlock their phone every time - therefore the need for the watch app to always be displayed.
The flow follows these steps:
- the user is prompted for workout session access when first launching the app;
- after they accept, I start the workout;
- the delegate method workoutSession(didChangeTo) returns the expected values;
- the app remains active, even when the user lowers their wrist;
- when I go to the clock, the app's icon is displayed in a circle at the top (bringing the app back to foreground on tap).
The only problem is that the "Return to app" option in the "Return to Clock" settings menu is missing, what do I need to do in order to display it?
Here's an example of what it looks like for the Strava app:
and how it looks for mine.
